I have experienced over the year on the rainy mornings sometimes they do tend to stay on the roost longer.Also since you called to him he may have been waiting for you to come to him. I have witnessed Gobbler's stay on the limb and gobble until a hen walks basically to the base of his roost tree. He will then just hop down and off they go. Who knows what he's thinking I would just get back after him.Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
I walk 40 yards forward, and then he finally busts out of the roost and flys away from me. I'm just not sure what else I could have done??? He might have sit up in that tree for 5 hours.
What is really interesting to watch is when you call to a gobbler and watch him fly up into a tree and eyeball your calling position for a half hour before flying off. I had one tree hop his way in this year also. Fortunately he dropped to the down and made his final approach on the ground cause I wasnt sure I would feel right about busting him out of a tree.

Gobblers that smart need to die.
If I am 60 yards from a turkey in a tree I am waiting until he flys down before I make a move or a sound. X2 Ain't no turkey within eye shot of me every gonna hear a peep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He probably stayed up in the tree because he heard you approaching in the dark.
