Default Total Newb with a potential opportunity

Last night at about dark, I kicked two turkeys out of a big tree, presumably roosting. From what I'm reading, it's the sort of place turkey's tend to roost. A bit earlier that evening, I flushed a turkey at the boundary of a pasture and crop field south of it about 300-400 yards.


How do I capitalize? Will they return to the tree? FWIW, turkeys can't be shot while in a tree here.

The tree is is a big hardwood at the low end of a wooded draw. Walk down it any further and you're in a wood lot with a big pond, a good place to hunt deer and turkeys show up in it frequently, too. On either side of the draw is pasture and that crop field to the south.

I've got a 12 gauge 2-3/4 tucked away, turkey loads are available. As for camo, I've got military eastern woodland BDU's, a face mask, and a camo hat.
