Should I get as close as I can to them near the property lines?
On Saturdays yes. On weekdays go ahead and get right in there with them. Those other guys won't care if they've got 200.
Seriously, You can get way ahead if you get a topo and pick out good big points, saddles, and coves. Turkeys up here couldn't care less what kind of tree they fly up in or whether or not there is a creek under them but they will relate to geographical features like that. East-facing slopes are good too because they get the earliest sun.
You've probably been seeing a lot more turkeys around those fields this year because of they acorn shortage. It was the same way in 2007.
Turkeys aren't hard to find they're just hard to kill.
