Yes, If you can find the strut zones that would be your best bet. I have found ,( in my area,) small woods openings and wide trails/logging roads are better setups than big fields. The birds can strut in these smaller openings and ease into the woods for shade if needed. Each area I hunt is a little different. Remember also when recieving advice from members, that the geography in different areas causes the turkeys to act differently as far as prefered strut zones. My areas in Florida are generally flat, wet, and often very thick. Turkeys here will often walk for a couple of miles along dikes and logging roads to avoid the thick patches of woods and water. I have found turkeys roosting in swampy places more than a half mile from the nearest dry patch. Turkey hunting can often times be a shot in the dark when it comes to mid day hunting but if you know the general direction and area the birds head to when they leave the roost your on the right track. (Sorry, I tend to ramble sometimes)[:-]
