We've got some really open pines up near the house, they were cutting a few more out of there and nearby. The timber guy told us his cutter watched a hen fly off, he went over and looked and there was a nest full of eggs. They went over and flagged all around it and said they saw the turkey coming back in there later on. Our dominant gobbler must've have been running a touch behind.

Maybe they'll make it those chick's couldn't have been more then. Few days old

She was there pretty much every video...think she only left the nest once that I could tell. Wish I had aimed the camera a little lower and moved the damn flagging tape out from blowing in front of it. Have to click on the url to see video https://streamable.com/wlrr3k
