I think you will find fall turkey hunting much easier than spring, except that you will have to walk a lot more. It is a lot more difficult to locate birds than spring(not much gobbling going on). But in fall you shoot toms or hens(at least in Missouri), and there are a bunch of really young birds out there, and they call really easily.
Here in southern Missouri, the guys try to find a flock, which is really 2-3 hens that get together with their broods. Finding where they roost is very helpful. The old timers actually tried to split the group up, going so far as to run through the flock and flush them like quail. Then, they would sit down not far from where they flushed the birds. The young turkeys call back rather easily, especially in the fall. I realize this sounds a little odd, but remember that these old hillbillies(of which I am one) were trying to live off the land.
Good luck
