Do Toms and Hens roost together? Anyone know?

You will see both of them roosting together in the fall but mostly in the spring and summer they roost close togther.
There is no such thing as bad venison, its just some is better then others.

You mean hens with hens and toms with toms? Separated?

In the spring its usally toms either roosting by themselves or with other toms. In the summer the toms will roost with other toms while the hens roost with thier offspring. When the fall flocks start forming then they intermingle and you get hens and toms roosting in the same trees. Sorry if i didnt explian it better.

In the spring I see lots of Hens roosting together and a Tom roosting not too far away from them. The Tom gobbles and the Hens run to him. I've even heard the Hens squabble as to who gets to go first.

Well what i usally do is scout the night before with binoculars and by listening. When I have a bird roosted I know where to set up the next morning. At night just before dark you can hear them fly up into the trees and also you can hear them gobbling. If you use a locater call just before dark you will get a shock gobble making it easier to pin point the birds.
