Traveling along the learning curve of turkey hunting, and this question popped up...
When looking at properties to hunt, what kind of features are you looking for in a topo map that would indicate good possible turkey hunting areas...
For example, would a bench/plateau with deep ravines except for one sloping hill be a good place to check out...?
Basically, I'm looking for the turkey equivalent of how one reads a topo for deer hunting, and what types of features they tend to prefer... and it may be that there isn't such an equivalent rule of thumb...
I'm considering some new public hunting spots for this season, and am trying to maximize the scouting/hunting time spent with some topo evaluations...
