In the mountains you'll bugger a whole bunch of things up if you just go taking off fast as you can toward one on the roost, plus it's just big, big country. Best to take your time. Add to that, we just don't have the birds we used to have, so the days of hearing three or four and having to decide which one to go to are long behind us. Past few seasons it's seemed I've averaged hearing a bird once every three days, and that's usually walking 8-10 miles a day. You get in a good gap before daylight and listen to as much country as you can. If you hear one, great. But if you don't, you just get to walking. Big country and every little cove is like a bowl of sound. You can have a tiny ridge separating you and until you hit that lip you can't hear that other side. All that to say, most times I'm finding birds 8-10, 9-11, somewhere in there.
