Never been able to pattern the birds very well at my place or find a roost, but Sunday of opening weekend I was sitting at my front blind and for at least 30 minutes I was treated to the whole range of 'fly down' and locater calls. Heard it on tv/dvd before, but in person was cool. They moved away from me when they hit the ground, which was fine, cuz I want to save my tags for spring.... I know roughly where they are, but I don't plan on going over there and disturbing them, cuz I want them to stay for a while....

That is always nice info to have.. both in the morning and the late afternoon.

Can you give me some tips on how and where to look for these spots? Wanna take my son out to go get a turkey in december.

In my case I knew there were birds roosting nearby, just wasn't sure where. Just happened to hear them one AM when I hunted a blind 1st time for the year. Its not a subtle thing. if you are anywhere close, you can hear em..

if you just shoot em coming off the roost and not when there walking back to it wont they stay on that roost????

wish we coulda found it this past spring. at least then we wouldn't have been skunked. glad you found it though!

We heard a few, but they sure didn't cooperate. This spot is not too far from where I got the pair of toms late last season, and where James saw some on the road on your trip out. Roost must be new there, or I would have heard it before.

he said he saw those two, but i could never see them. have you heard from either of them lately?
