Sounds like you learned something so that's a great start and a successful huntHiked about a mile and a half... got to where I saw em a couple weeks ago.
About 45 minutes before daylight I heard gobbling back behind where I came from. Sat there till 11, got up and scouted a little then started my way back on the same trail..... found an area where they've been scratching and a tree with quite a bit of poop under it. My hike will be cut in half tomorrow. Never heard a shot or seen a person.
