LOL   They definitely move around.   Telemetry studies have been confirming this over and over.   I think it's funny when some people will call up a bird 2 or 3 weeks before the season and say if I can call him in now, I can call him in when the season opens. Of course that bird is just as likely to be miles away as he is there when the season opens.    One other thing, a lot of people think with all these jakes here this year, my property will be full of 2 year old birds next year. Of course, many of those jakes will be miles away from there the following year.

My favorite is. I have been messing with this bird for x amount of years and I finally killed him. Now sometimes it may be true but I think most of the time it is different birds.
