During the last month before the season opens plan on a lot
Of early mornings. The toms should be gobbling on the
Roost for 1/2hr or more before they fly down. Try to figure
Out where several different toms roost without disturbing them.
Once they have flown down and left you can find a big tree
100-150 yards from the roost area. Prepare the spot so
You can slip in quietly in the dark and just sit down without
Having to make any noise. Then make sure you can find your way
There quietly in the dark.

Next step is to figure out where they go after they fly down.
There will probably be a clearing in the woods, field---
Someplace that the Tom frequently goes to strutting and
Gobble ---this will be a great spot to set up some morning
If calling to the birds near the roost doesn't work.

Remember two things call less than you want to--- once a Tom has heard you and answers your call there is a good chance he will
Eventually come to look for you, could be 5 min. Or several
Hours later. Second, one of the best times to call a Tom
In is late morning after the hens have gone to sit on their
Nests. Also when you set up try to sit in the shade makes
It much harder for the Tom to spot you. Good luck!
