Anybody roosting them this evening?

[PalsPal]

Taking dad in the morning to a friends place. Dad's mobility is limited.

Checked Wed morning, and there were 2 gobbling fairly close and easily accessible.

Checked this morning, and they were further back quite a bit.

I'm going to try to roost them this evening, so I can figure exactly where we need to be in the morning, but I've never been very successful. However, I haven't done it a lot.

And I know roasted ain't roasted, but I need to try to stack as many odds in our favor as possible.

If I can get out of work before dark ima try my best to do the same.

 

[muddyboots]

I've been several times to try but in my area they just very rarely gobble at fly up. So I doubt I try it.

Didn't try & roost, but 3 of us went at listened this morning. Heard 15+ birds between us & first one gobbled at 5:44. All 3 grandsons coming to camp tonight so should be good in morning

 

[deerhunter10]

Not me have a pretty good idea where they are.

 

[Gravey]

I was gonna try and get to our lease to do that this afternoon but plans got changed and have something tonight I can't miss. I'll end up driving down late or get up and leave at 3:30 in the morning.

I was gonna glass the farm
This morning but showed up and damn cows were out! So may try to roost one this evening.

Been out the last couple of mornings. With the area I'm planning to be in tomorrow, the birds have been pretty consistent in where they've been roosting. We'll see if they stick to their routine in the morning.

 

[thirdwilliam]

I will be trying to roost them tonight

 

[peytoncreekhunter]

Going in blind tomorrow. I'll be listening and either call to him or go to him if needed.

My buddy leases 25 acres at the top of my street to deer hunt.. Never saw any toms on camera until this year for some reason, sent me some pics of 4 nice strutters up there about 3 weeks ago.. Camera has been dead so I went up there and listened this morning just to be sure.. Yup, they were roosted on the hillside right behind the camera.. Hopefully I can get one to come play in the morning

Be prepared for silence tomorrow, evil creatures love to play right into your mind.

 

[30-06 type of guy]

Nah. Had one roosted for juvi opener and he didn't gobble or show last Saturday. Went back Sunday where all the other birds were Saturday and was successful. Yesterday morning they gobbled in the same spot but this morning only one bird gobbled on opposite side of field. They're there so not really worried about it just hoping nobody interrupts.

 

[Rakkin6]

Nope, I have to work from 1900 until 2300. Getting up at 0300 to hit the woods. Might play a little sick to try to get out of work early to get some more sleep lol. Don't judge me

 

[timberjack86]

I haven't even scouted lol I'm going to a mountain ridge I saw some gobblers on during bear season. Hoping there's one somewhere close gobbling in the morning.

 

[PalsPal]

Well, I know where he's sleeping tonight, and it's not too hard to get to. He finally answered my hoot right at twilight.

I won't sleep a wink tonight!

I swear I haven't roosted a whole lot in my life but that saying roosted is roasted has never applied to me at all.

 

[Hymie3]

Went to my place Thursday afternoon. They were strutting at 4:00 still. Don't have one treed bit a good idea. Good luck everyone. Be safe

 

[rolltide22]

Roosted 2, but a couple hundred yards away. Patience, patience!

 

[bowhunterfanatic]

I watched 2 fly up on the same limb. They are on the edge of a huge field with ZERO cover around other than the treeline they are roosted in. Gonna try and get within 50 yards before daylight and hope we can shoot them when they pitch down.
