I'll be out the 1st week of May with my Dad. Seems to be the sweet spot for my schedule and usually has birds strutting around pretty good. I would think any of the three weeks you have would work if you are willing to put in the time to locate them. Last year they were down low and around the mid line area the 1st week of May. Quite a few yard turkey in some of the rural neighborhoods. As far as avoiding places, it's a roll of the dice. People will be where the turkey are. Rise up early and go to be late if you want the best advantage. Good luck! Turkey hunting is my favorite.
