I can comment on this out of personal experience! This past turkey season at Clear Creek WMA I had 3 gobblers going crazy 45 minutes after sunrise. They apparently got off their roost an oak bottom 3/4 of a mile away and gobbled not to far from me. They began gobbling while backtracking to the roost area and I pursued attempting to flank. They locked up about 60 yards on the direct opposite side of that oak bottom and wouldn't move. I walked 100 yards down the oak bottom to cross and attempt to slip on them. Once set up and I began clucking and they'd gobble up to 30 yards and then 50 yards back and forth in some thick sh**. I couldn't get a shot and all of a sudden BOOM! There was an old man maybe 40 yards away that was originally hunting the roost. Just saying. It is possible. lol
