Default Your Experience with Eastern Wild Turkey Behaviour??

I would like to know what some of the old hands have to say! My experience hunting in SE Ohio [hilly country, thick forest] is:
1. Turkeys don't usually roost in same place two days in a row--but stay in roughly a
one sq. mile area.
2. They often roost in trees about half way up a ridge.
3. At fly down they will fly onto the ridge top and "assemble"
4. Gobblers usually gobble from first light for about 45 min to 1 hour.
5. After they get together, they feed on the ridge top a while, then head down into
the hollow--and shut up!--until the hens leave.
6. If you can't be in the right place at flydown--then you probably won't have much luck
until after around 10:00 am when the hens leave the gobblers alone.
Any comments or observations from you guys that you will share??
