Default RE: Roosting birds?

Dog your given away one of my personal secrets buddy!!!!I have had great success on high pressured gobblers with late mornin to afternoon hunts.Late season gobblers can and do pattern hunters being approach'd and called at from the same general direction through the course of a season at dawnand will notnecassarily change roostsites but just go silent until the woods clear out(hunters).One of the most difficult challenges a turkey hunter faces is sometimes lettin that call rest and having enough patience to let one of those woodwise gobblers give up his position.Often times under heavy hunting pressure or the fact they could just be henned-up at dawn they may not speak until later in the day.I have actuallyheard more gobbling activity from late afternoon till fly-up on more than one occasion.We can hunt till 4 PM here in Cali and believe me if it dont happen early mornin I'll eat breakfast or a little lunch and be back out to the woods till shootin time ends.Last spring we took a bird at 3:52 PM with a client,boy was I happy as much as relieved..The key to this though is dont blow-up your stretch of turkey woods as Dog points out pull up a chair and enjoy the sounds and smells of spring.Oh dont fall asleep either!!!..Bob..
