First thing in the morning they "need" to drink; so either on a stream or near a pond.
Also remember they "need" to be able to fly up and down from their roost tree; so open limbs and an opening in which to fly up and down from.
Best bet is to be in the area at dawn and dusk to listen for gobbles, hen assemble calls, if silent - wing beats..................
Find them late in the afternoon, as they will always led you back to their roost tree before dusk/dark !
Just before first light and just after dark you can also use locator calls; crow or owl - usually, the Toms will respond to those calls.
Just don't disturb them too much, and when you think you have them "patterned" set-up a long their path about 150 yards away !!!
