I've shot at least half of my birds by watching them fly up into the roost. If I'm gonna use a blind, then I wait until the turkeys have been in the roost a couple hours after dark and then go back and set up as close to the roost as possible. Usually the blind will be right on the edge of where the turkeys left the ground and 9 times out of 10, that's where they hit the ground coming out of the roost. I always get there an hour before daybreak and absolutely no calling. My dad and I pulled off a double last season using this tactic and I'll be trying to get my brother his first thunder chicken this way if I can. Some may not agree with this tactic and I can understand their reasoning but I've called them in too and both ways get the blood pumping fast.
