Roosting Hen

I was muzzloader hunting and was just getting ready to leave when a hen turkey flew up to roost close to my position. She knew something wasn't right, but didn't know what. I was trying to keep the camera on her in case she flew. i was in such an awkward position it started to hurt. When i tried to reposition myself she flew off. I missed it. There were other turkeys coming to roost. You can here one that was pretty close about 80 seconds in.

I used the brightness control on my video camera to bring out a little more detail of the bird.

PA Spike King is my son and we have seen turkeys nearly everytime out in PAs late flintlock season. No video or pics, left the camera at home. The hen that was roosted directly over the trail I was on let me walk right under her I tried talking turkey to her but she had none of that and flew off. Prolly scared her with my ugly mug looking up at her. I am a bit confused though whether I am deer hunting or turkey scouting. Can't wait for spring gobbler season.
