Default RE: Tips for roosting birds

Ive roosted many birds and its generally all being there at the right time. Not every bird will gobble when going to roost. You have to listen and listen well. It all comes down to knowing the property you hunt. Listen for them flying up to the roost. Listen for hens purring, clucking, the sounds of wings flying up etc... generally I do not get into the woods. I make sure Im close but not into their zone. I study the flock and try to catch them at different times of day. From studying the flock from year to year I can be pretty sure where they are at. If I hunt a new property I will make every effort to be there with them. watching and waiting. Once Ive established their habits I go from there. Roosting is fun but it takes work and scouting...
