I lean up against a tree close in to the roost before light then run and gun if I find em I get in close or head em off, around 3 pm I get set up with decoys in the roost area ( this works very well ). If I have a gobbler that responds well but wont come in and I can tell he's strutting I will cut the distance by say 50 or so feet and they come in every time. This spring I'm getting the long beard I didn't have time to get last year, He roosts at the base of a mountain at the edge of a large open area flies down, heads through a bottle neck across a small creek through the woods, a fence and right to the strut area where the rest of the flock goes from a different roost area. The strut area is on private property so I will set up several decoys close to the bottle neck before light leaving him room to go between me and the decoys and have a breeding pair set up. Well that's the plan turkeys always change plans.
