Headed to the lease tomorrow night, but we won't get there til around midnight. I've roosted birds once at midnight, but that was the only time I've tried. Does it work often?

I wouldn't think so, but you never know.

It don't hurt to try but with hardly no moon I am skeptical.

"around here, turkey hunting is more like a religion than a pastime.getting close to nature, getting back to where we most belong is something we hold sacred.when we do get to take one home, we do so with reverence"

If you are going to be out there at midnight and locating turkeys why not go ahead and tag out.lol :fud: Just kiddin, what technique would a guy use to locate that late without spooking?
Jakes are like scotch. They are not worth a darn until they age.

I've never even heard of any roosting birds at midnight. But I guess its possible. Id say go out there and try it.

 i once busted a gang of gobblers while coon hunting one fall, went back the next morning and set up and killed a Longbeard and bobcat when the started getting back together. If he's henned up on the roost and you do bump him he might not be henned up in the morning ;)

Did it work the first time you roosted at midnight?  :blob10:

At camp one night, it was thundering and i swore i heard a turkey gobble, but brushed it off a s a dream. Then my buddy asked if i heard it. We stepped outside and everytime it would thunder this bird would gobble. This was at 1 or 2 in the morning. Needless to say, we killed the bird 5 hours later.

Hang on, I'm not talking about stomping through the woods all night. I'm talking about stopping on the road on a few good spots on our way back in to the camp, killing the truck for a few minutes and hitting the owl call. Like I said, I did it once and it worked.
