If I can't get a bird in the first half hour when they come down from the roost, I also do the run and gun the rest of the day similar to what RR mentioned. Many people give up after the first hour or two and a great time to kill a longbeard is from the middle of the morning on through the rest of the day after the hens have left them. I killed one good bird just 1/2 hour before quitting time one night after starting out before daylight over 12 hours earlier. Turkey hunting takes an awful lot of patience.
