Best way to kill a roosted bird is to put your partner on the other side of the bird from you! Do your tree yelps and soft calls and the Tom 90% of the time flies down going away from you and your partner kills it! 😂 thanks for the info guys! Just funnin with ya!
Is there any reason that the group of Turkeys might head off in one direction on one morning and the complete opposite direction on the next morning? I thought they were more of a creature of habit.
Lots of factors. Could be with hens. Could have been over called to on the limb. May know the familiar dance about to happen. Or they’re just being stubborn.
Most of the birds I've killed have been a scenario of soft calling to them while they're on the roost, and shutting up once they acknowledge my presence, and not calling to them again until after they've hit the ground. My 2nd bird last year was roosted probably 200 yards away, across a creek. I couldn't get closer to him since it was an open field between us, and the timber was too close to the creek to try and work around. I set up in a finger of trees that came into the field. He gobbled a few times, then I soft called to him, and he responded. I shut up until after he hit the ground. I called to him again, and he answered, and I shut up again. After 15 minutes of him on the ground, him gobbling to try and get me to respond, he flew across the creek and came right to me. Biggest bird to date. The tactic has worked great so far. I did the same thing on bird #1 this year, and he came right to me. 1st bird last year landed right by me. I have yet to have it not work. Edit: The bird across the creek was a late season kill. The hunt lasted maybe 30-45 minutes.
Easiet way to kill em (ethically) is to get in tight on them early. Get behind a big tree, and have em pitch down into your lap. Soft yelps. Maybe a fly down cackle. Use your ball cap for wing beats, and then just do some scratching in the leaves. 🤷🏿♂️
Basically , Be The Turkey

How many gobblers do you call at on roost and kill?

That’s my experience. I’ve worked 6 roosted birds this season. Has ONE come to me. The other five all pitched down away from me. And vanished.
