To stop scouting or not

So i've been out a few times scouting and have a good bead on a fairly large flock, maybe 10-12 hens and 3 gobblers. I've heard them early in the morning and i'm pretty sure I have their roost pin-pointed.  A friend thinks I should continue to gather info on this flock. I'm looking for a second opinion?

You can never be too prepared imo I would scout until opening day

keep scouting those birds and others.  the ones you have "pinpointed" could get blow out by something or someone.

Yep, never quit scouting till you are ready to hunt!

Scout in other places, you know where 3 gobblers are, try to locate more.  You can never have too many gobblers located.

Like others said, keep scouting.  Keep a good distance, use binocs and your ears.  Locate more so you'll have options if someone gets to you spot first.
Good luck!
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

Our birds around here don't really settle in to a area to stay until mid April it seems. Keep a eye on em.

I go out as much as I can. Even if I think I got the birds pinpointed. Hearing birds gobble and watching them strut is good for the soul.

Never stop scouting...I scout when I am hunting. Hunting what I can hunt today and scouting what I will hunt tomorrow.

seems like the birds around here rarely roost in the same tree 2 days in a row

if they are all grouped up still you want to keep a close eye on where they are going. I have found that when they are all grouped up the best thing to do is be sitting where they are gonna be before they get there. It never hurts to have several gobblers located. I always like to have one in my back pocket that is hard to get to in case someone else gets in there before I do.
