Title: Turkey help, Dayton
Post by: SkookumHntr on May 02, 2023, 07:58:22 AM: My Boss’s son needs a rio for the Washington slam, I thought I had him all lined up on some private property outside Dayton, the hunt was lined up and everything so I thought, my boss reserved a room and everything, well the property completely fell through and not panning out >:( long shot but was wondering if anybody had any tips or point my bosses son in the right direction for a bird. 🙏

Yes, they will stay in the roost longer, and won't be a vocal in my experience. But they will still do turkey things.
