[lentz]

im going to be turkey hunting may 4-8  and going to the land sunday and check out a few spots that i think will be decent any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated

[Go Big Red!]

Based on my experiences:

1. Find roost spots.  Big trees like oak or pine.  Look for scat on branches or on the ground.  Some of the branches will be torn up from their feet too.
2. Find natural funnels leading to and from the roost sites.
3. Find dusting spots.
4. Find food sources.
5. Find a good place to hide that gives you the cover to hide yet you can see a lot.  Sit down with the gun you're going to use and check the swing.  No branches, no rough spot on your back, rocks under your butt, etc.  Check to see where the sun will come up or down. 
6. Be safe.

Turkeys are lazy birds, and what I mean by that is:

They take the easiest route to get to and from where they are going. Look for deer trails, check the enterance into feilds looking for turkey tracks and droppings.

When setting up, keep this in mind: They don't like to fly, or go around, obstructions very much(such as logs, creeks, fence lines and even roads at times) Make sure the trails you are checking are clear, because these are the ones they most likely will be using.

If you find hard wood areas, they like those the best to roost. Large old growth trees with long extending horizontal limbs. Check under those for feathers and droppings.

And like Red said, check the edges of fields for dusting areas. If the dirt is clay, or gravel, you prolly won't find any. But, if it is sandy, you should be able to spot those pretty easiely.

Hope this helps you out..........
