If you learn one thing...put your time in, scout and learn the area and where public property is and isn't. Welcome to the site.

That will be your best bet to be in contact with the most birds. Don't take everything on this site as gold, but you can learn some stuff here too.

We do not all fill all our tags but we sure have a good time trying :chuckle:. Otherwise head east. Once there choose north or south and be safe and shoot straight. :hello:

I can go for a 1 hour drive from my house and back and probably see 1,000 turkeys and not find one land owner that will let you hunt on there place.

You will have to do a lot of door knocking. I have lost 7 hunting spots in the last 4 years to to older land owners passing away. and land being split up and houses built.
