BT, I kill the majority of my longbeards later in the morning than off the roost,especially on new ground or areas I haven' t scouted.Sometimes the birds will become much more active later in the morning on into the afternoon when hunting high pressure zones!Sometimes starting later is a great tactic just because of early pressure!Also them ole hens gotta start nesting or laying sometime and can leave ole longbeard all by his lonesome!Congrats on the birds buddy,post them when you get a chance!!
