Hey Ridgehunter....don' t feel bad...I did something very similar...on Saturday I went to my other property that I got 2 birds from last year & been the dumba$$ I am, I didn' t have time to scout the property this year & just assumed the birds would be roosting in the same area....BIG MISTAKE #1..[:@]..I walked in to the area and made BIG MISTAKE #2..[:@]..did not use a locater call....I just headed on in to the setup tree I used last year to bag my 2 longbeards & set up my decoys....went to my tree & kicked some leaves aside & all hell broke loose....them goll darn birds had relocated their roost site to the tree I was going to sit under...[]...what a sight to see approximately 15 birds silhouetted in the early morning twilight as the took to wing and left me standing there cursing everything I did that morning!!!! Needless to say the morning was a bust but I did learn 2 valuable lessons.....DO NOT REPEAT BIG MISTAKE #' S 1 & 2!!!!!!!! Oh well, I now know where they are roosting and as it is private property & i' m the only one hunting it, it will be at least a week before i' m back hunting it so hopefully the birds will forget all about that big dumba$$ that woke them up last Saturday morning!!!! Hope you all have a successfull hunt..[:-]..and a shout out to BOSSTOM....hurry back..with me making MISTAKES like that, I may need your expertice to get my birds this year!!!!!!!!! Talk to you all later....time to go to work!!!!!!!!![:@] Bramptopn Mike [8D]
