Uh, looks like a pile to me. Wow. You might need help so they dont overrun ya! Let me know. About the time you dont see Jake's in the pictures with the main group start listening for fly down / fly up. In the morning,eve. Unless you spook em they like the same roosts everyday. Unless the wind is blowing a gale.

Those pictures were obviously lifted from a CNN fake news feed. I'll need the Lat./Lon. to verify the post.

I have seen them on the roost while night hunting hogs.
I had a warden tell me that I could go to the woods early morning with just my thermal and upper (no lower) find them on the roost,go back to the truck and case my upper,then go back at legal shooting time and call them down with shotgun. (or centerfire) --- SAWMAN

Today? Nice. Gonna need GPS to verify harvest. For research purposes only......
I swear people dont know the work that goes into Turkey hunting. Gun? Shells?

Remember guys . . . you can use center fire rifles and pistols in Fla and Ala.
In my club in Ala some years ago I killed several turkey with my Ruger Super Blackhawk. (7.5")
Used to sit with my back up against a tree with my gun on shooting sticks. My load was using 44Special brass,a 250gr Speer (cuz I had a bunch of them) @ 650fps. Almost NO meat damage. Breast saved.
Used to take 'em high across the back when they were head down feeding. If they even got off the ground they would go straight up then back down. Never lost one. Most of the time did the kicken chicken . . then dead.
Great for the not so good callers like me,and the birds that would hang up at 60yds. --- SAWMAN

I generally use a 32-20 caliber model 23C savage rifle for turkeys, 120 grain lead s.w.c. Loaded to about 1050 FPS. Inside a hundred yards it’s deadly and doesn’t mess up much meat even if you shoot them in the breast. It just punches a smooth 30 caliber hole . Being able to reach out to a hundred or so yards makes my success ratio go way up.
