JNTURK, Thanks for the advice. Although I am only 56 I suffered a stroke 3 years ago and am not as nimble in the woods as I used to be so I stick to the most accessable wildlife areas. Since there are birds in Feather River, I will try there again this weekend rather than drive all the way to Spenceville from Elk Grove. I am a doctor so it is impossible for me to get away on weekdays which would be best at a place like Spenceville that attracts a lot of hunters. Last Sunday I only saw two other hunters at Feather River but unfortunately no turkeys, though I think Imay have heard a gobble.
