Many times I have roosted birds and had it pay off for me. Then there have been times when the hens took them the other direction that morning, only to come to me the next day. Roosting will always give you a general direction to head to for your morning hunt. At that point you can always fine tune, unless you are blind hunting. Sometimes, when I already know where the birds will go on a given property, I may set up a ground blind. But if I am going to be on the move, I will always have my half blind that can be unrolled and set up quickly, or use nothing but the brush as cover. It is all according to the given situation I am in.
