Default RE: Tips for roosting birds

The first thing you don't do is spook any birds in the process of trying to roost them. Don't use any turkey calls, just locator calls after fly-up. I have had good success with a coyote howler, just make the howl short so you can hear the bird. In my experience they gobble soon after the first sound you make and if your howls are long you won't hear the gobble.

I generally try to find high spots where I can hear a long way.

My my experience roosting birds hasn't helped me much. The last time I roosted a bird (last season) he didn't gobble the next morning but another one was hammering it about 1/2 mile away. I had to bust it to get to that turkey before fly-down, but I did get him
