I see no need to elaborate on the excellent advise you have on the first 3 questions, but I would like to add some on scouting. If you find turkeys on a tract of land one year, unless something changes, they'll be there in subsquent years as well. But, turkeys move around alot during the day. My goal when I'm scouting, is as much to learn the landscape as to learn where the turkeys happen to be that day. Know where the fencelines are, where the ditches are, where are the easiest route of travel between feeding areas, Where I hunt, the turkeys have multiple roosting spots. They could be in any one of them on a given morning. I try to find the best approaches to each one of those spots so that I can slip in quietly no matter where they are. If I don't pick them up right away, WhereI canintrcept them during their daily routine. Know your land and you'll know your turkeys.
