Default RE: Tips for roosting birds

If you stick to it long enough, you will eventually have the good luck of roosting a bird or birds and find yourself in position for one of the most exciting hunts of your life. Last year I had the dumb luck of locating a hot gobbler right at sunset, and I mean he was hot. Three other birds hammerin, too roosted just a short distance away. I knew the exact tree this ole boy was sleeping in, and believe me...he got a lot more sleep than me that night. But roosted ain't roasted. Next morning he made a fool of me, though after over two hundred gobbles, and one of the most intense hunts of my life.I've killed a few over the years right after flydown, but it's far from a sure thing. That said,I love the excitement of knowing exactly where to start my morning hunt and the spittin close set up if you can pull it off. Just don't ever roll one out of the tree. That would be cheating!
