RE: when do turkeys appear? i never see or here them,
I would start by taking a drive and trying to locate some from the road if thats possible. I would probably take some walks in the woods looking for turkey droppings and looking for scratching in the leaves. I would also check any water source for turkey tracks or droppings. You will have to be there in the evenings to find there roost trees when they fly up for the night.
