This AM Dad & I went to a farm that we had not scouted prior to season but we know the place real well. We just took our time walking in thru the fields and hitting the owl call trying to locate one but had no responses all the way back to the woods. We stepped into the woods about 20 yards to setup on the intersection of 3 trails. Dad was bringing the owl call out again and just then I caught movement in the tree above us. Yep, looong beard! There was just enough light in the sky that I could see the silouette of the bird & the beard. Needless to say I couldn't get Dad stopped on the call and the bird flew off the roost crashing thru the tree tops.
Sorry for the long rant but my question is, will that bird return to the same general area that he was in this AM to roost again or did I blow my opportunity with that bird in that spot?
What do you seasoned Turkey hunters think?
It is private property and not much activity people wise.
