For anyone interested he replied to a question I asked and said he had some published works he would send me. When I get those I’ll post them.

Come on Ben! Don’t be messing up anyone’s story about that gobbler they’ve been hunting from the same tree for several years! He roosts in that same big pine on the edge of the creek 😀

I've seen them stay in small areas until all the hens were bred and I've seen them roost in different areas a good distance apart. Different gobblers act differently.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Would like to see data from several different birds as well as roost data for hens. Maybe hens tend to roost in same areas due to nest? And maybe the gobbler is hanging close to hens? Maybe they are like bucks and tend to search less as they age? In other words, what if that data is based off a less dominate gobbler that keeps getting pushed out and is in search for different hens? I will say that birds I fool with tend to roost in the same areas every year, but that may be due to the terrain and trees the more I think about it.

I need to listen to the podcast. Did it have actual dates associated with each roost site? I know it hints the clusters aren’t on consecutive nights, but would like to know more

the best we can do is hunt classic roost areas — year over year, there are certain spots i’ve hunted that consistently produce a bird - i could care less if its the “same” bird ... just spots/areas just setup good for a gobbler’s comfort zone
i also frequent often known "scratch areas" where hens like to congregate & be a hen ... at the right time, it's money in the bank ... it's thrilling to deck one right off the roost - but it's no less thrilling to bust one in other areas/spots, as well - they don't have to gobble & act a fool to die - altho i prefer it
