How to set up?
My season starts in less than a week and I will be calling for a friend of mine starting on sunday, and I have recently got permission to hunt a farm near the area that I was hunting earlier with my dad. I haven't had time to thuroughly scout the area but there is only a small patch of trees and the rest of the land is all open fields. I have seen a few longbeards out in these fields later in the day and the farmer has told me that he's seen lots of birds in them as well. My problem is that I know that the birds have been roosting in the only trees onthe farm and I was wondering how I should go about setting up for them? The patch of trees is not very large and I am not 100% sure where exactly in the trees the birds are roosting... do I set up on the edge of the trees hunting the field and risk spooking the birds out of their roosts or how should I set up on them?
The area looks something like this...
Slough
