as for scouting when i drive im lookin. i see places that have turkeys in the field i try to get permission to hunt there or maybe a farm next to it. if you know there are turkeys there they are most likely there all the time. be persistant but patient. when you think the bird is finished with you set there just a lil while longer. ive seen alot of good answers to your questions on here so compile everything and use every tool you can think of to help you out.
