I do both. I first try to locate a bird and once I do, if not successful the first day, I may hunt that bird for several days in a row. I had a bird a couple years ago that I'd been hunting for 3 days straight and he would go away from me every morning with his hens. I got set with the dekes and he started his routine. I got up and moved to the area where I thought he'd flown down to and gave a few yelps....he cut me off. I got my gun up and gave a couple leaf scratches......10 minutes later, I was giving him a piggyback ride.
