Capt... I spend lot of time scouting for turkeys. I have already started and our season doesn't come in for 4 months. Look for a Pine thicket, when you find one look under the bigger pine trees for feathers and poop. Toms poop will be j shaped, the biggerthe poop,the bigger the tom. Turkeys are like deer and willl take the path of least resistence while traveling. You can also look for strut zones and dusting bowls when the weather warms up and the bugs come out. I have seen plenty of strut zones completely bare of and vegetation because of the heavy use. When you are in the woods look for area where they have scrapped up the woods in search of food.
