Default Frustrating Turkeys!

For the past few weeks I could drive by my property and see 20-30 birds out in the front field. I also was getting a fair amount of trail cam pics of them. This is a new property that I have not turkey hunted mind you.....
Starting this week, seems the flock has broken up. Trail cam pics have stopped coming in and this morning I went out to see if I could hear them from the roost.....nothing. It was foggy this morning tho.

My question is: I have a blind set up where I was getting all my pictures. Most of the pics were at 7:30pm so I would imagine they were roosting fairly close. Should I be worried that I'm not seeing these birds a lot anymore and hardly no morning pictures? The set up in on the corner of a cut bean field.

They've spread out after the winter flock broke up.
There still should be some birds close by , it is
possible they have found a very good food
source and are hanging out near it instead
of your bean field.

They almost always break up once the breeding starts as the toms are fighting each other and trying to get a hen.. It depends on how long your season is but given a few days and some will be wandering back their again with a few hens.. Good luck at getting one..
