They will be in the 'general' area but may not be in the same exact spot. Food dictates that. Winter areas get over pecked and as spring approaches they expand to new food areas. Also spring flocks start to break up as the Toms jostle for breeding rights. the hens set out looking for that secret spot to nest.
Many winter roosts I watch are old white pine groves which offer great wind protection. but come spring this changes if there are a good variety of other big trees around.
But I follow birds all yr long. I ahve for years and is why I harvest as many as I do. I have found that several spring spots that produce well each spring are vacant come Fall when I hunt.
But the more time you spend scouting - the odds in taking a good bird will go up.
