They also leave the tom's to sit on their nest during the mid-morning.

My experience is7 of my longbeards were taken after 9:30 in the morn.
2 were taken minutes after they flew off the roost straight to my decoys (kinda easy hunts)
1 was in the evening. I only hunt the evening those last couple days of the season if I haven't gotten my limit yet due to all the action that goes on in those morning hunts.
