Rio Gobblers that roost on a ridgetop
Hi all,
I have a question about my hunting area that I'd like your expert opinions on. My land in the Texas hill country has a very densely wooded ridge where gobblers roost, and you hear alot of the morning gobbles on this ridge. When the gobblers fly off the roost, would you expect that they fly all the way down the ridge (~100-200 yards) into the mesquite flat / more open areas that form in the valey at the base of the ridges? Or would they fly down into the thick in the ridge and do their morning business there, later walking to the more open areas for feeding/etc? For all I know they could first go the other way on top of the ridge into the oak trees, but I've always assumed the would fly down the ridge toward the east. I'm trying to decide where to setup on these gobblers and would appreciate your opinions! Thanks
