IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ROOST A TURKEY IF YOU CAN. IF NOTHING ELSE IT GIVES YOU MORE OPTIONS FOR THE EARLY MORNING HUNT. EVEN IF YOU DON' T GET THE BIRD THAT MORNING IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET AN IDEA WHERE THE GOBB WANTS TO GO AS THE MORNING GOES ALONG, THIS WILL HELP YOU IN LATER HUNTS FOR GETTING IN HIS PATH. HEY G-DOG WHERE YOU BEEN.

I like to roost them the night before when they are jumping around from place to place each night and I' m not sure where they' ll be. Also the weather plays a factor in roosting for me (no rain or high wind). But if the birds are roosting within a couple hundred yards or so each night, I don' t go out sometimes unless I just want to get out of the house and try to get one to gobble. If they get predictable enough by roosting in the same place long enough, one of ' em is gonna be hanging over my shoulder headed for the truck one morning soon!

Jav,you' ve done it again buddy!Dont it put you in a better mood too!!
The two main reasons I like to roost among others is 1.The roost on most hunts is as close that we know for sure that we may be able to get to a gobbler all day and the opportunity to get in close under the cover of darkness should be taken advantage of!2.Not all gobblers especially pressured or henned up gobblers talk alot on the roost and if your able to put one of these quiet birds to bed at least your close come sun-up!I' ve actually seen on alot more than one occasion a gobbler sound-off more in the evening than at day-break!I truly believe a gobbler like this has patterned those turkey callers who hammer him at every angle come morning!!

I' m going to put some more effort into roosting this year. Looks like more sleepless nights, tossing and turning in the back seat of " big red" awaiting my early morning gobbler greeting.[&o]
