RE: Scouting Question?
The gobble guy and the hog man are both right in a way , sure its a good idea to use a locator call before sunset that should tell you where there roosting.
In the early morning hours after sunrise , you can try to make them shock gobble and that should tell you how close you are to them.
When your scouting for them , try to do so mid day when there already out walking around and look for feeding areas and dusting bowles or staging areas.
Most of the time the birds will use the same area of trees to roost , the way they travel is like a huge circle they fly down and head for a water source and then feed.
When your in the woods look around the trees for droppings and feathers , thier dropping will look like cigar butts a dark green in color with a little white at the end .
Feeding areas will look like a large area of leaves that have beenmoved in small piles , you'll know it when you see it they'll scratchthe ground forfallen acorns and insects.
You might want to look in open fields and medows as well , they do like to keep moving but they will stop and rest for awhile .
I hope this information helps in some way and good luck to you.
