bullcan,

that is excellent information, thanks. How do u suggest i pinpoint the turks? Should i just simply pick a spot, start from there by calling , then walking a hundred yards or so, then calling again? It just seems that Greenridge state forest (MD) is so large (44,000 acres) that finding turks woiuld be hard, but i guess its not because they are everywhere, i guess. anyways, thanks alot buddy....also, if i pinpoint birds in late march, what is the chance they will still be around that area come opening day?
