Roost tree at middle of hill. Setup is at top of hill.

Shy Goobler. Any chance of luring him in?
Due to weather around here, only one gooble just before leaving roost tree. Then all quiet.
Tomorrow is the last day of spring season for me.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

Never hunted shy Gooblers  :chuckle: before, but if I had I would try to set up in the direction you think he was coming off the roost and ambush him. Maybe give a couple of hen clucks then shut up. Take this for what it is, as  I am no expert turkey hunter.
Shut up and Hunt!

Sit in your stand until sunset.  Gobblers like to fly up into their roost from an elevated position, which should be close to your set-up.
Dreams are forever on the mind, realization in the hands.
