#324 Is it bad to bump a turkey off the roost??? Turkeys we learned most from this Spring

That one, that was one of the most eye-opening two or three day, I, I think it ended up being a three-day period, of turkey hunting that I've probably ever had.

So many questions, you know, that run through the average turkey hunter's mind were somewhat answered in that timeframe by this, this turkey or this spot where we were hunting them.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.I guess to give you a little background, I scouted this particular area.

I went in there before season listening a few times, and I heard a couple different turkeys gobbling in it and around it.

But it lays out, it's a really small piece of public land.

And you've got to take an easement way in there that is just through woods.

There's no trail, nothing like that.

It's basically just a walking access easement through a bunch of woods for a long distance.

And then it kind of opens up back in there once you go through that.

And it's at the same time, the piece isn't but a couple hundred acres in size altogether.

And turkeys use it, but they're not on it exclusively.

I mean, they bounce off of it onto private land and back onto it all the time.

So when I listened there before season, there was one turkey that was roosted right on the boundary.

And then there was one that I could hear distantly on the private.

But I also saw quite a bit of turkey sign in there.

And I was like, well, they're using this place at some point in time.

So anyway, me and Ted went in there, I think mid-morning the first day that we hunted it.

And it was windy.

And I called a little bit and eventually got a hen to strike up and start cutting and yelping.

And she come into us the first day.

I think that's in the video where that hen comes in.

But the real important thing was we did not get this gobbler to answer.

She did.

He gobbled as we set up because when we heard that hen calling, we decided to sit down.
