Year after next should be good. I’m either getting lucky seeing them or a lot more poults made it this spring.

Got a game cam pic of a hen with 5. Also a gobbler that’s strutting everywhere he goes.

Saw 2 hens with at least a dozen poults this morning in Perry county. I think there were more, but those were the only ones I actually saw. One group of poults were chicken size and one was quail size, but all of them could fly. If dry weather really helps them they should be doing great, cause it is super dry.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Saw 2 hens with 12+ poults this afternoon. Tried to get video, but the grass was too high. They were a little bigger than quail.

My buddy that lives on the farm I have been managing to build up the turkey population just text me a report. He saw 4 hens with at least 20 to 25 poults big enough to fly. I had a really good hatch on this property last year and know of 10 jakes that were using the farm this spring. Hopefully this group of poults will make it to become adults.

Another property of mine had 9 jakes on it this spring and we left some mature birds as seed. Things should look really good for numbers of birds on these properties going into spring 2023.

Chuck says "Your welcome"! Chucky ain’t got shucks to do with it. Unless he starts going out and toting a drip torch or running a saw for folks.

Chuck says "Your welcome"! Chuckie hasn’t done squat to add more turkeys on the property I hunt that I can assure you!! The reason I have more turkeys and plenty to hunt have been due to my sweat equity and my personal management practices.

The reason I have more turkeys and plenty to hunt have been due to my sweat equity and my personal management practices. But your hunting opportunities will continue to be limited because some random counties in North AL don’t have enough turkey and too many people living in those areas and hunting. You have to hunt the wrong time of year and shoot less. So how long will you continue to help the population?

I'll let the rest of the cards fall where they end up. As long as our current DNR leadership is in charge, they have little respect from me!! I do not support the direction they are going and never will based off their made up excuses and reasoning. I'll say it again, the current regulations/changes are not putting more poults on the ground. I have never depended on the state to provide more game for me to hunt and I don't reckon I ever will. I was taught early in life you get back what you are willing to put into it. I hate it for the guy's that don't have turkeys to hunt and hopefully things turn around for them.
