I'm planning on going out some evenings and weekends over the next 3-4 weeks to try to bag my first Turkey. I live in the Ponderosa forests of the southern front range Colorado (Rampart Range & Tarryalls) and I understand that Mountain Merriams range over huge areas and are harder to locate than the Rio Grande's out in the plains.

Any tips are finding good Merriam areas? Then how to set up to call them in -- No blind, so I'll be on the ground in camo. No decoys, but I could pick one up. I've got a box call and a crow call.

Any tips are appreciated.
