OK. Went out this morning to listen in hopes of spotting one on roost for tomorrow. Well... I did. He gobbled about 20 times while on roost and I was able to pinpoint his location within 100 yards. I found a place to set up along a logging road in the AM and backed out, went to the landowners place for a cup of coffee and a chat. The bird was roosted about 50 yards from a road that splits the property. Figuring he was off roost (8 AM) when I left I slowed down in the area he was in earlier to see if I could get a better idea of where he was roosted earlier and... I bumped him off of the roost.
Rookie mistake I guess. My question is, what are the odds that he will return to this roost site tonight? I won't be able to go tonight to see if he returns because of other obligations but I'm still headed there to set up in the morning. The property has few areas with mature trees so there is limited ares for roosting I would think. He was alone, no hens, didn't hear another bird at all. Thanks in advance!!!
