We've had very good success during the later seasons. I prefer hunting later. You won't get much action off the roost in the mornings. They're usually henned up. But by 9 or 10:00, the hens are leaving to go lay another egg or set on their nest. The toms are used to having company and are willing to entertain a new prospect. We get most of our birds around 11:00. If they'll answer you right away in the morning and you don't spook them, quite often they'll come back later looking for you when the usual harem has left.
