I have a routine I usually use. In the morning I will try to get them off the roost. Then succesful or not depending, I will try to stalk them birds or different ones I locate. I will do this throughout the day. Then during the evening I try to roost the birds and maybe get one. The reason it seems so rushed it because I have a few select days to get a bird so I'm all business!! Good luck, - Buckhunter
