Find a good high spot in your area and call with your box. When you get an answer, go after them! Once you locate a spot with turkeys, find the good water sources and favorite ridge roost locations. The mountain birds like the leeward side of ridges with open Ponderosas for roosting. I've also found them in small pockets of tall open pines in meadow areas. Good green grass will draw them this time of year.
There are actually quite a few Merriams out on the plains.
