Yes, you do need to look for tracks, feathers and droppings. You can look around water sources for tracks but chances are, you wont find a turkey struting there. Tracks are just a good indication that turkeys are in your area. You need to find strut zones and and roosting areas. If you are in a dusty are you can see the strut marks..look for figure 8 patterns or circular patterns in areas..some may be straight lines. Under trees you may find droppings and feathers and this will indicate a roosting area. Those are two prime spots to be. Usually, you will find the toms first strut zone around his roost, and then he will follow his pattern throughtout the day and return in the evening doing the same thing. As far as trees, they will roost in whatever they have to roost in. I think they prefer oaks with not many limbs or limbs that are open so they can see around them. But i've seen them roost in many trees. Good luck, private message me for me tips and i will be glad to help..
