Default Late Afternoon Tactics

I am mostly a morning hunter. What are the differences for Late afternoon tactics. Yes they are going to roost.

Mid to late afternoon when the hen's are nesting and the boy's are just milling around looking for morehens is a good time to break out some decoys.
I would try to set up near there roosting area and put some decoys around , you might be able to ambush one on the way in.

Last year I was able to take a tom by setting up where ai had heard them roost the day before. I tried calling to them at flydown and there after they just vanished. So then I got to where they had been set up two hen decoys. I began calling for a bit. They began to answer me about 1/4 or better away. When they (4 toms 2 hens) came out of the woods into the field where I was I watched them dance and shake his old tail feathers for a while. This was about 250 yds away. They finally came to the decoys. Took the leader out. had a 10 1/5 beard very thick.

So I would say the setting up near their roosts certainly works.
