I've been really fortunate this year to have a spot really near the roost. (only once out of seven outings have they not been there)
Anyway, yesterday morning when the birds woke, instead of the usual gobbling and yelping, they were putting like crazy!
Two hens that were yelping, flew down around the usual time, but the other birds took at least 20 more minutes to fly down, and when they did, they went a long ways from where they were roosted.
Never heard a gobble from the roost, but after fly down there were toms all over the place. (just not in front of us)
Anyone else ever experience them putting while on the roost? Do you think maybe a coyote was sniffing around under them?
I know it wasn't us because we were in our blinds an hour before they woke up.
