This was the first year I ran into hens with poults in the woods. What’s worse, killing a gobbler on 3/15 that probably has bread hens already and will likely be replaced by another? Or, separating a hen from 12+, day old poults that don’t stand a chance without her? It was an odd year all together as far as turkey behavior/gobbling, but it wasn’t for lack of birds. I had more birds than ever before across north Florida and south Alabama, public and private. 5/7 was last day I went and heard the most gobbles, at least a dozen different birds.
