Wouldnt some of this most likely depend on dominance and hen roosting? As in if a bird is dominant in his area wouldnt he be less likely to travel around if his hen group usually roost in the same area most nights? Conversely subdominant males seem much more likely to travel a good bit looking for hens. But that's just how I've usually thought about it and could be way off. Seems plausible but HIIK! In his podcast appearance, the “turkeydoc” said something about turkeys having a lek breeding system. In those I think the females pursue and select the males. I’m starting to think he was just screwing with everybody. Kinda like “hold my beer and watch this..,”

On my place we don’t have very many turkeys to hunt, never have. I’ve had one leave and show back up, but when you kill him, very rarely have I had another one take his place. Usually a jake or two will step up though. I believe they roost in the same place generally more than that example. I’m just going off of my own experiences. They may move from one side of a pasture to the other or may get spooked by a coyote right at dark and fly somewhere else but they like to strut in their core area imo. I’ve just seen it too much.
