Your number 2 point makes sense for spring hunting however scattering them is the common fall strategy. Oldtimr laid out the groundwork for you.

Turkeys are typically more vocal in the spring. I do know fall hens will be vocal in the mornings but I have never heard a tom gobble that I can remember. You can count on hearing them flying to and from the roost. You will likely hear hens calling in the morning as they gather up on the ground after roosting. 6-10 turkeys roosted within 50-70 yards of my deerstand last night. I am going to bring a slate call this morning and try to get them to fly down in front of my stand or get them to walk there if they land out of bow range. Treestands offer no protection of turkeys seeing you but it does give you an visual advantage. Movement is what will get you busted with turkeys, even more so than deer. Good luck.
