There is always more just general turkey videos and articles to watch, I will be doing more of that this week.

I did make it out to burn some leather today, it was a gorgeous day at like 75 degrees. I am going to have to head back there on an earlier week day though, I have never seen this place so busy. I was off the trail a little ways and found a couple nice open meadow type areas right off a few ridges. The only problem was I did not find any turkey sign there. I saw plenty of deer sign however. I did see a string of tracks, unfortunately they were on the other side of the road where hunting is not allowed. I guess at least there are turkeys there. I guess I have a few more questions after this adventure.

It is getting pretty warm here in the front range, I did not run into any snow the entire time. The snow is much higher up at this point. With that being said, how high up into the "foothills" do the birds tend to run up the mountain as warmer weather rolls in? Next would be that I saw a lot of ridges in this area. However a number of them were very steep. My question is how steep of a ridge like area are they willing to run and fly into a roosting tree on?
