IMO - I watch huge flocks right now as they are in the winter groups. Some are all hens, or hens and their broods all grouped together and then I see bachelor flocks of toms - no jakes in their though from up to 7 to 12 good toms.
Soon they will break up and form thier breedging groups of 1 to 2 and sometimes 3 nice toms together with a bunch of hens.
As these breeding flocks form I feel they are small circle groups that overlap each other and do use the same area outwards from the winter roost area.

And while hunting I always look for a back up area as things happen, mistakes are made, so back out and try another group or area. This has worked well for me but it takes time to scout. One good thing though ~ once you have found a good area, the area habitat stays the same, it will always hold birds. And to that is what gives me the msot success. The so called Honey Hole!

Good luck out there - stay safe
