Really good advice here - probably the best that has been given yet. Let me expand on that by saying get out to the areas you want to hunt before daybreak and listen for gobbles as the birds come down from the roost. Move to different spots while doing this. If you don't here anything you might try using a bard owl or crow call to make one shock gobble. Good luck!
