They shutup and dissappear after about 8:30. They don't have to come out in the fields around here yet. The woods are so wide open the hens can see them from hundreds of yards away. And they can see me too.

Good Luck on the Turks Rob!!
I have guys that swear by them up and others swear by them down and claim they are more out of the way
As you know they seem to do a pretty darn good job either way, although I put mine up (Habit)

Very nice Rob.If you get one in range my money is on you. I just got back from Windsor NC.We onlylocated one bird on the roost and that was this morning, the birds just werent responding unfortunately, we had to rely on spotting them instead of roosting birds in the evening and finding them before fly down in the mornings. We still got 3 birds in UltimateCamo on video with one gobbler going balistic ona decoy. I was the only one that couldnt close the deal, imagine that lol. The birds were red hot until Sat eveing when the cold front rolled in. Im heading back for a few days in 2 weeks to hopefully fill a tag or 2. Good luck Rob, Im sure you and Jeff will lay the smack down on some birds.

Good luck down there Rob. Make sure Jeff is primed and ready on using the GL2.
Remember, start with the filter open all the way and gain at the highest setting, lower your gain until you're under 6 then start lowering your filter. Keep doing this until your filter and gain are set right for the daylight. Don't forget to white balance for color correction. And for Pete's sake make sure those numbers are rolling. LOL Mike has beat that into my head.
