As for me JayHunter, I have been going to the Black Hills in S.D. for a handfull of years and have several areas where myself along with my hunting buddies have located and harvested birds. We generally hunt those areas and search for others when things are slow. This year in Iowa I will be hunting a private farm for the first time so it will be hit or miss and in Minnesota, I own property with lots birds and have hunted the area for years. I don't get much of a chance to scout as I live 250+ miles away from it, but do know where the birds tend to hang out! As for time, I work 12 hour shifts and get a stretch of 7 days off in a row every month, along with vacation time, I can swing it. Money, well....anything for turkey hunting, save.
GOOD LUCK!!
