Going upstate (from nyc) for Spring Gobbler this weekend I've never hunted for spring gobbler, nor in NY, we usually go to PA during deer season Just got all my tags and permits, and were going to be heading up to Dutchess County on Friday As of now we intended on going to the Taconic-Herford Multiple use area, also considering the Baxtertown Woods WMA and Taconic State park Are these good spots to hunt? Does anyone know of any Public land out in / around Dutchess County with a healthy gobbler population ( not asking for your hotspot, just a vague location or park to go to that allows crossbow / bow hunting) Also any advice? I have a mouth call that I've actually (I think) gotten pretty good with (been practicing).. Wondering things like how far should we walk in from the road? how long do you sit before moving on to a new spot? Do you walk around and call and then post up, or post then call.. I've heard of both not sure which is better! It's not too late in the season right?.. I hear New York Gobblers move up until late june Also what time is the best to go.. We intended on going at sundown. Sorry if i sound un-experienced, I am, just got into hunting last year. Any Advice is Greatly appreciated.. Mostly need a good location to hunt, but any advice will be more then helpful!! Thanks in advance

I was curious as too how many fellow turkey hunters deploy scounting techniques into their preperation for the spring season. I had been lucky to have been graced with spots full of birds so scouting for turkey was never a thought that crossed my mind. However this last year i have lost 4 deer hunting spots that had proven to be just as good for turkey due to people moving and my job relocating from its previous location. I luckily kept one proven winner (a pain of a walk in and out though) and picked up a spot, pretty much a lot of open hardwoods, flat nothing special to the layout except one field the land owner has told me about. Any tips on preseason locating and scouting would be appriciated.
