Default RE: LOG ROADS ???????

I have had the best luck for the past couple of seasons walking logging roads and peeking around the corners trying to catch a gobbler strutting. When i see on i set up just inside the corner and call sparingly. Last spring this tactic yielded two nice mature gobblers.

On paper company land, the birds will gravitate to the logging roads and the decks to strut. I'll usually begin walking the roads about 2pm. If you don't see anything, you can still position yourself next to a known roost site to see if you can hear any fly up. When you leave, do a couple of fly-up cackles while simulating wing beats and some soft yelps. Be in that spot before first light, but be careful. Last couple time i did this in NY with my buddy, he found that two gobblers had roosted in the very tree we did the fly-ups from the day before. Good luck.
