if you use it right where i hunt, youll get your bird right off the bat 95% of the time. i got some good spots:)

I always "try" to roost birds, but I can never seem to get them to gobble in the afternoon...[&:]

Do you wear camo when you hunt;)

Not trying to be too critical of you, but your what, 17 or 18 years old? Do you have enough experience to boast that? I've been hunting forover 30 years and seriously turkey hunting for 13 years and 95% success rate is unheard of. There are guys on this forum who have been turkey hunting a lot longer than me and I'll bet they don't have a 95% success rate at anything involving turkey hunting.I'm not questioning your hunting abilities, but I don't think you have experienced a fraction of situations that many of us here have. Just because you roost a turkey the evening before doesn't mean you are going to get him in the morning, and definately not 95% of the time. Please don't insult our intelligence and don't take this the wrong way. BTW, I like to try and roost a bird, but it doesn't always happen. I'm still going to be out there in the morning and afternoon though.

Gotta agree with superstrutter. I roost birds every time I can. Yes, you might come back andthose birds are still there 95% of the time. I've met some pretty persuasive hens, though. If it doesn't play out just like I want it to at flydown, it's my calling vs the hens that he hung out with all night. Sometimes I get the best of him, and sometimes I don't. Even when things are going exactly the way they are supposed to, I get whipped sometimes.

If I can roost them and know where they will be, then sure. Any little bit helps:)

What's the old saying? A roosted bird isn't aroasted bird.

RE: Roosting birds?
 

Ive roosted birds since 1985 and I can say maybe 50% of the time they have cooperated. They are still tough to hunt off the roost whether you know where they are. And that 50% maybe pushing it. But I still love roosting them. Its different now since we went to all day hunting here in Indiana.

Fellows, I agree with what most all of you say.Sounds like you all have hunted a lot. If you have read any of my post, I have Turkey hunted for a long time. I LOVE Turkey Hunting most of all.

I have tryed Roosting birds many times. One time I heard one Gobble and it was on Private Prop.[:@]I call the Owner told him where the Bird was. He never even went after the bird[X(]I don't know if it is the, Timing of the season, To many Hens, Not enough Gobblers, Just plain un-lucky, Can't hear?
After about the second day of season I am Soooo Tired, discourged, Down, I am totaly Greeddy when it comes to Toms. I don't want anybody in the World to get a bird till I do.

I got to tell you about this 76 I think old man I ran to several time out hunting. The last 2 years he has found a GOOD place to hunt and has Hammered two Gobblers each year. He is Soooooooo Pumped the old man love to turkey hunt. He can't hear hardly at all they put him in a Blind and Call them over him and he loves it.....LoL He's a good old man, been hunting a long time before me, however my Unchle took him out the first time.

I like to roost birds every chance I get. Even if you get one roosted there are still alot of things that could go wrong. 95% I could do that on a turkey farm, no problem.
