My next move would be toward a gobbling turkey.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Several on this sites needs to go see what cha got to give solid advice......... Haha! Would love to take a crew of ALdeer turkey killers out there, but I'm afraid these social distancing requirements will be in place through the rest of the season. Too bad...

Go sit under it. Get there about 5:15 Pm. I was wondering if I should be more cautious with hunting around a tree that gets used regularly. You wouldn't worry about blowing out the spot if you shot one right under it?

Blow it up, I doubt it’s used as much as your think. There would be piles of shucks under it if it was used daily. Seriously piles.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

You remember that ancient roost tree in Nebraska we found? The one that had the huge limbs hanging off each side with knee high piles of poop underneath those limbs. Looked like giant ant beds made of turkey poop.

Looked like giant ant beds made of turkey poop. I'm afraid those days are gone for the foreseeable future! I've seen it. We've watched turkeys come from miles it seemed to roost in one hollow that had big cottonwoods. It was an amazing sight to see 100+ turkeys fly up in an acre groove of trees. I don't know what hit the population up there so bad but even the huge winter flocks that used to number in the hundreds have been reduced to dozens of less.

Is the scat from the lower limbs or upper limbs? May be a hen tree... Hmm... Didn't think of that. I could see a couple of feathers on the lower limbs but didn't notice if there were any droppings on the lower limbs (indicating roosting above). Guess there's only one way to find out.
