You can scout now. What your gonna find is the hen's and some jake's still flocked up, and the tom's still in their bachalor group's. Ya just need to remember...that the flock's you find now...will break up just before season open's...and where you find some at now, you'll more than likely find some there still come season's opener....but then what I do is 2-3 week's before season....I scout the expanded area's, where you should start finding smaller group's getting ready for the breeding season....Good Luck to ya...I'm sure you'll fill your tag..
