RE: scouting ?...
My favorite way to scout is just to drive around and watch. They are other ways. You can walk in and use your locator calls and such, but I find you have a good chance at spooking them this way. If you find out where they are hanging out these next two weekends, there is a good chance they will be in that area come the opener. Where I hunt however, most of the turkeys dont roost in the same place everynight. You just gotta put them to bed or show up in the morning and listen for them to gobble on the roost. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
