In places I've been, I usually see moutain birds stay in a general area and usually, they'll have a 3 day pattern that they keep to. Usually they'll have 2 or 3 general spots that they roost in and they'll rotate the spots in a 3 day pattern. For instance, one spot I hunt, the birds roost on top of a ridge on one day, then won't be back to that spot for another day or two. The next day, they are usually roosted down in a long hollow about 400-500 yards down the moutain from where they roosted the day before on the ridge top. It usually takes me a couple days of scouting to figure out the pattern each year, but there does seem to be a pattern to it.
