Roosting trees are usually the bigger/taller ones that are not to dense with branches, they want to fly easily into and out of the tree....

To add to the above, they are sometimes found on or by the side of a hill. Easier access for the birds to get in to the tree, flying from the top of the hill into the tree means less energy spent from the bird.
Well definitely some information that I have not seen and it all makes perfect sense, I am greatly appreciative thank you. Am I correct in saying that the tree type I should be looking for are pine, spruce etcetera?
I've hunted Brant and Norfolk county for the last 10 years, if you're in St Thomas you aren't that far off from where I am. In my experience, there's no tree that turkeys love roosting in more than a white pine.
Good to go, here's to luck for your turkey hunt.
Remember if possible show your gratitude to the land owner, offer to help him with something or anything you can do for him/her.
Luck is the one thing I will need lol. I have made sure to offer my services during field harvest and any other time that he may require a helping hand. I also offered to share and game. The only request I got was to clear out any nuisance animals and do not hurt any of the trees. I know it's early in the year so I will be sure to ask again when the work on the fields begins.Quote:

Wish we could have Turkeys in Alaska to hunt.
They love to roost over water too. Be it a creek or a pond.

Well I have both of those lol. Apparently a group went in years ago and wanted to "improve habitat". They then went to the owner and asked for thousands of dollars to continue .... he said no!Quote:
