Coach Report post Posted April 12, 2010 Went out this morning for some varmint calling - nothing major, blew an easy shot on a young female yote. My buddy and I ended up finding this turkey roost that was unlike anything I've ever seen. In the past, when I find a turkey roosting tree, it is a single tree on the N. side of a draw with a fair amount of "scat" at the base. This morning we were finding a few loose turkey feathers and followed the wind to see if it was a kill or a roost. We found this place where 8 - 12 trees, in a 80x120 foot area, conservatively, had PILES of turkey droppings. Some areas looked like the inside of a chicken koop. There has to be a huge number of birds using this small area and they've been there for a long time. You could literally go from tree-to-tree filling large buckets with droppings. Have any of you guys found a spot like this? I was kind of floored and didn't know what to make of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted April 12, 2010 It's likely a winter turkey roost. They roost together in larger flocks then and when I see sign like that, it's almost always a winter roost, which gets used year after year. During the spring and summer turkeys are more likely to roost in smaller flocks and even use single trees like you mentioned. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
