Some solid advice there from AESOutdoors. Not being able to scout is tough, but I intend to hunt some new areas I haven't scouted yet too. The best thing to do is to listen just before sun-up. If they aren't gobbling on their own, try an owl call. A crow call as the day wears on. If that doesn't work for me, I generally try moving and yelp loudly on a box call. One thing though, when using locators, keep the call short enough so you don't drown out the sound of a Tom's response. Loud and obnoxious will get him to gobble, but if you're making so much noise that you drown out his response, you might not even realize your call has been answered! Good luck, there's no amount of reading that can teach you more than getting out and doing it!
