If you want to experience the amazing aspects (in my opinion) of turkey hunting you will have to wait till spring. I have killed a couple turkeys in the fall and for me just did not come close to the enjoyment of hunting spring gobblers. But to try and answer some of your question fall hunting boils down to persistence and or luck. Get in the woods and try to find the roosting area or try to locate and bust up the flock and use the kiki run call to call them to you. Fall hunting is certainly a challenge and way funner than setting on the couch. Hope this helps
