turkeys will most likely be out in the open. Look for a grass pasture or wheat/oat field to set up on. Use a box call inside a zip lock bag. call louder than normal as sound will travel less. Carry a good set of binoculars and scout the fields. If you don't really have many open places to set up stay about one and a half hours calling every 15 minutes. If you do have a lot of open ground walk it scouting ahead with the binocs. You can slip as close as possible and start glassing for heads. after you are sure none are there set up and start calling or try for a shock gobble.
