Will the others come back to the same roost area ya think?
Why anyone would risk $800 + a clean slate for a stupid bird is beyond me. What a bumpkin.
Have no idea if they'd be back tho as every time I've tagged I left. If you got no other option it can't hurt to try. I've shot several & had their buddies just walking around oblivious to anything. One this year even stayed by mine pecking at him. Only walked off after I exited my blind. As you can see by the photos, I could have easily harvested him if I'd had a 2nd tag.
