I've never had ANY luck when it comes to killing a turkey that I roosted. I guess that I think about it all night and where I want to be at daylight. Always ends up with me being in the wrong spot. I'd rather wait on him to gobble in the morning and then decide where to sit. It's like the old saying, " think long, think wrong", I guess.

I don't like roosting birds...I usually end up trying to get too close to them the next morning...I'll just wait and see where he's at in the morning


I once flirted with danger...but then danger got clingy.

I decided to go this morning with hopes of finding a place to start. Found one gobbling good close to a green field so I am going to start there and see what happens. Hope y'all luck in roosting one this evening.

I don't roost turkeys in the afternoon anymore. I find it unproductive.

I won't make it south in time. I will be rolling out blind in the morning. Hope they're vocal!

If I'm roosting one it will be with a shotgun in my hand.

Maybe tomorrow


Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
