Mo youth season opens in the morning. Grandson and I are going to. He’s pretty excited. If the gobblers do the same thing in the morning they are hurtin for certain.

Last 3 mornings they roosted in the same place. Before that they were roosting a quarter and a half away on the other side of the block of timber. Wednesday they flew down in the woods and stayed there until I left an hour after flydown. Yesterday they flew down in the woods and marched out into the field I was hoping they would go to. This morning they pitched 150 yards through the timber into the field. We’ll be waiting on their butts in the edge of the field in the morning.

Tell Clayton I said good luck and make sure he gets his cheek down on the stock!!! Good luck to the guide too. That guiding can be a tough job. Will do Patrick! Guiding a 7 year old certainly presents its challenges lol. But he listens good and I wouldn’t want him shooting at me. I’ve reminded him enough to keep his cheek on that stock that it’s getting second nature to him lol.

In a way I'm glad they are so unpredictable, but it can be aggravating if you're hunting on limited time.

So no one has killed 10 turkeys a year for the last 50 years? Not me. I was already a changed man b4 I had access to a huntable population of wild turkeys.

Clay, I’m sure you’ve seen the research, but gobblers (Easterns) don’t necessarily roost in the same trees or area. Now a gobbler may be in that same tree or area, but it doesn’t mean it’s the one you watched. It made me feel a little better about myself on roosted birds. One in particular I watched for 2 mornings in a row and he did the same thing both mornings. The day I could hunt I snuck in a good 1.5hrs before daylight. I figured I wouldn’t even have to call, I’d let his feet hit the ground, pop in strut and then gobble, and my hunt would be over. The next morning that stupid bird flew the other way! The very next day I’m set up the opposite way and he flys down to where I was the day before. After reading that research I could look back on a lot of hunts and see where this possibly happened. I can’t remember who did the study, but it was great reading! In my humble opinion, roost site consistency is way more about the habitat than any other factor. In this farm country, suitable roost sites are limited. Big timber country is a different story of course.

![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/04/full-8206-254966-img_7024.jpeg) Ole lucky got him a toad of a gobbler yesterday afternoon at 4:45. Lots of activity in the morning hunt, but no gobbler close enough. Same bunch of turkeys came straight in when we went back. He shot the strutter at 25 yards. Stoned him. Never flopped. Local gun shop put on a turkey contest for the youth weekend. Took his bird in to be scored. It weighed 28.4 lbs! Heaviest gobbler I’ve ever been a part of. Good times with the grandson!!

Super!!!!
Did his gobbler win the contest? Won’t know until tonight. They can check them in until 7pm. They’ve got tremendous prizes. 4 guns, double bull blinds, avian x decoys. Lots of other stuff. We will find out later this evening.
