Is it true that when birds come down off of roost they fly to the east? I had never heard that one before until a friend of mine who doesn't hunt said a hunting friend of his told him that. This is only my second Turkey season and until yesterday I have never watched a bird fly off the roost. And yes, all flew to the east.

I 've seen them fly to all points on the compass.

I would think that either the prevailing wind or the direction they intend to go for feeding would dictate the direction of flydown...

That would be fiction. They fly wherever they want to.....Usually in the opposite direction of where we are sitting..  |

I suspected this was a just an entertaining story, thanks guys. Yes Woody I agree, the critters always go the opposite direction.
