Congratulations, you are now hunting one of the hardest birds in America, ha. There is some good hunting in AL and a good population of birds throughout the state, hence the 5 bird limit.
If it's public land, and they manage the timber I would focus on where they have done recent work. Controlled burns, new clearcuts, bigger thinned pines, etc. The turkeys are typically drawn to the early succession that is caused by man-made disturbances.
I love hunting fringe areas of pine and hardwoods. Many times the birds will roost along those ridges, or in the bottoms and pitch down along the ridges. You can use the terrain to your advantage for maneuvering. Be careful in a big bottomland, open area. It will be tough to hide your movements.
I would start off by scouting the mentioned areas above. Use the ridges to your advantage when running and gunning. Try to locate the birds from the ridges by directing your calls down in the bottom. Turkeys in AL will adapt to anything. You may find them in an old mature hardwood bottom one day and then a first thinned 12 year old pine plantation the next.
Good luck and I hope that helps a little
