Will turkeys come back next spring

[Shwangman]

I had been hunting birds and got one on Saturday morning. On Saturday night,my Son was hunting them and pushed them out of their roost and flew in different directions. I have been out hunting deer and I have not seen them Saturday morning. Will they come back this year or next spring?

Thanks

It depends if they were local birds or just passing through. I have spots I hunt that for the first week of season the birds are their then they dissapear. I have bumped them off the roost and they never returned till the next spring. I have other properties that I hunt where I know which trees they roost in everynight it never changes from year to year just like clock work every night at dusk they fly up into the same trees. I have bumped them off the roost by shooting a bird in the evening and the next night they were right back to the same tree.

Thanks Archery sniper for your insight! I think they are local birds because I have them on my trail camera in July and august, pecking at my food plot and i know for sure that the birds have been roosting, along side of this valley, at least three times and last year I know there was a few birds, roosting in different parts of the woods, last year when I was bow hunting.

Four years ago, there was not a single bird to be heard or seen on this land that I hunt dear on so I'm pretty happy that the birds have come to my woods and I would like to keep that way if possible.

Yeah, if they've used that roost area pretty regularly they'll be back soon. You certainly did not chase them out of the area for good.
