you have one of those mornings with multiple gobblers sounding off from different roosts?Do you set-up on the closest one,or maybe the hottest one,or do you try to get in between them to set-up?Or maybe something different,lets hear it<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

I Just hope I know that patch of woods well enough to figure out which one will have the path of LEAST resistance to me. Also, I try to factor in past tendencies of birds in the area, like nearby pastures to strut and feed in. And last I try to figure the difficulty of ME getting into position. Whether there is a creek to cross and where, a bluff, briar thicket, ect.

Sometimes it works, sometimes ... well its still fun.

The farthest away because if I screw up the bird , I still have 2 more chance before I get back to the truck <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>...BT

I like them with Long Sharp Spurs....

Bob, if it's where i can, I get about half way in between the 2 closest gobblers.
too many times, I've heard those gobblers fly off the roost and head
straight toward each other.
IMO- that's the best place to set up. right in between!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I rarely here over 3 gobblers at a time on our lease.

down in the refuge, is a different story. I've heard at least 15 different turkeys gobblin in there. but, I usually waith till about
11:00-12:00 to hunt them. I've found out the last few years, that's the best time. nobody else in the woods<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I believe the terrain is the major factor here. But I would try to set up on the hottest bird. He might be gobbling his head off because he's alone. I have had to many birds that are gobbling but not totally cranked up that hit the ground and leave with hens. The best situation would be hunting with a friend, split off and kill two birds or at least up your odds of one kill.

Where I hunt this happens often. If I can I try to setup in between them. Second choice is to setup on the most accessible bird.

I normally will set up on the hottest bird or the one that I feel is more apt to come my way. It may be because he sounds the most vocal or that I know I'm in the area that he wants to be in. Also it depends on if there are other hunters nearby that might be hearing the same birds. I then head for the most remote bird hoping that I am the only one going after him off the roost.

<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>BT rofl!!Like Bogobble and Lefty, setting up in between them if possible, is what has always produced the most success for me!I've had to many birds that were hotter than a firecracker leave the roost and go directly to another gobbling bird.Listening to birds gobble back & forth at each other on the roost is an awesome experience!! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
