Since i started hunting this property ,early nov. ,Every morning i hear turkey gobbling.Making a real ruckus.Every time i'm out ,and yesterday i heard them again in the morning, then around 10:00 it started again,a couple over the ridge in front of me calling to some behind me and before long they came together within 30 to 40 yds from me.It was the first time in 20 plus years i'd seen this and sparked my desire to hunt them even more.What i'm hearing and seeing them do now,will this be the same habits in the spring?I've seen three places where they ruff up the leaves in a 10 to 20 yd area, are they looking for food.In the mornings the gobbles sound like it comes from the same direction,i'm thinking there roosting in the same area so i stay out of that area .Am i in the right line of thinking?I also saw a flock of 20 or so in the sowbean field,during a good snow.In the spring will this group still be together and follow the same basic patterns as now?Another question.Do the toms and hens make the same sounds.

I hunt the Rocky's and here the Merriam turkeys are at around 8,000 in the spring and they go lower in the fall to avoid the deep snows and find food. They move about a mile or so depending on their location, to and from their spring and winter habitats. Your turkeys will most likely do the same.
Turkeys use their feet to move the leaves as they look for acorns and other food they will do this where ever they find food even in the roost area, if you have found a large area 25 ft. or more with the ground really chewed up they will return. If you see or hear turkeys before 10 am or after 4pm (depending on your sunset) they are relatively close to their roost.
Go into the area at a high point and use a coyote locater call to locate the roost at dusk or dark early morning when you do either stay high and watch them fly down to pinpoint the roost or mark it and go in in daylight to pinpoint the roost. Then pattern them, Turkeys roost in the same general area if not the same tree. Then you can look at maps keep an eye on the turkeys and find their spring habitat and you are ready for next fall.
Toms and hens make similar sounds, hunter specialties web sit has some sounds you can listen to, hens yelp all day in the fall and spring while the toms fan out and vocalize little in the fall. The fall group will split into smaller bachelor groups and come spring larger groups will come together. Read the turkey hunting tips section and you will learn much.
If you are in a farming area the turkeys will frequent soybean, corn and other fields winter and spring on a daily basis, find their field and you found one place to hunt them, find the roost and you have two places to hunt, now find their travel rout and strut zone. The strut zone may well be the field.
Good luck
