Got any pointers on where to go? It's discouraging putting in hours to not see anything

With the wrong mindset hunting and scouting can be discouraging. Overcoming discouragement and the ability to persevere are probably two of the things that most set apart unsuccessful and successful hunters. Just keep scouting. As for a spot look in the hills I have seen some there a few times. Then when you find them don’t tell anyone where, by that point you will understand why.
I’m sure most wont disagree but that’s hunting. It’s called hunting not killing for a reason. In my mind hunting is 99% looking, scouting, researching, hiking, calling, driving, and spending time in nature. Every one gets discouraged but when you get to the point of being happy with getting out the discouraging times are less frequent and easier to handle.
Not to mention turkeys are pretty rare and hard to find, call, and kill.
Onyx Ranch had some (south of the South Fork), Greenhorn Mt. had some, and around the golf course in Wohlford Heights had some.....I hunted them on Greenhorn and all birds that I saw were on private prop......And never saw many.
I heard up rancheria rd there’s turkeys....I’m not sure if there’s any blm property...

Props to you for getting out but you should’ve called up some forest service folks and talked to them. All the birds left in that drainage are on the Audubon bird preserve, and not huntable. Look up north of Glennville. Nobody is going to give you the X or anything close on an open forum like this for all the world to see. If you’re gonna burn rubber, you should’ve headed to the Sac area.
Sacramento is just a far far drive. 3-31/2 hours isn't too bad. But 6-7 is a little aggressive for a bird. If it was a deer or elk I'm there. But for a bird I'm not trying to drive that far hahah
