RE: Roosting Turkeys
I roosted with them once, lol. Strangest experience I ever had. I was bowhunting deer when a doe coming in spooked. I was wondering what I did to spook her, then I heard a turkey steadily clucking right from where she bolted. It almost sounded like an alarm putt, but with purrs mixed in. A few mins later, I counted 21 turkeys coming into the woods I was in from the field. They went right to the calling bird who was now about 15 yards behind me. It was just before dark, just as I thought to myself, these birds should be flying up to roost, they took to the trees all around me. I thought I might get to share my tree with one. It was amazing. I waited til well after dark to get down, and I can't believe they didn't spook when I left. Other than that, the few times I tried to roost birds before a hunt I have had no luck...
