Roosting Trees - which pine?

[kdsberman]

Ill be ordering some pine trees to plant soon but was wondering what type of pine trees do you guys notice turkeys like to roost in? Ive heard Red Pines are good. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Where I hunt they seem to prefer White Pines.

Stands of white pine on the sides of ridges are used as winter roosts too.

Around here they roost in white pine and pretty much any other type of large tree with solid branches. They often are up in maple and oak too. In the winter they do like the conifers though simply due to the cover and wind protection.
