Well ... I'm sure theres others on here that will add there 2 cents in later on but in the mean time let me share some of my advice.
First of all if youhave seen turkeys ina plot of woods or even farm fields , take time to do a little leg work and take a walk though those woods and fields.
Look for tracks,loose feathers, dust bowls and scat, dust bowls will look like little round impressions in the ground in loose soil or sandy like dirt.
Their scat looks like little cigar butts, dark green in color with just touch of white at one end, a toms scat is diffrent from a hens, it willhave a little curl like the letter ( J ).
Turkeys like to roost in big trees such as oaks in the spring and summer, pines in the fall and winter.
Sometimes they will seek cover in bad wet weather on the ground under some thick dense foilage.
It's real easy to spot an feeding area in the woods, when your walking around and you seealot of round bare spots of loose leaves on the ground but it is harder in the fields.
When trying to find out where there roosting at night, try using a crowor owl call at dusk and listen for their gobbling.
Hope this information helps, the other members here are more than welcome to either aggree or criticize me on this but when it come to scouting for these birds, I know what I'm talking about.
over the summer i found probably a 10 X 10 foot area where they were "dusting"
