Sat on a huge pasture with Binos this morning hoping to catch a lonely gobbler which I didn’t. I did see 7 hens and 6 had poults and the lone hen had 4 jakes dogging her. I believe this super dry spring has made for a good hatch this year. I got to thinking all these hens hadn’t been with a gobbler in over a month. This was in TN.

They dont need a gobbler but once, they store his spem and can use it to nest multiple times.

👍🏻I figured the poults were about a week old. 35 days since these hens starting sitting on the nest all the time. I figure hen without poults had nest destroyed and starting over. I believe this has been one of the driest turkey season I can remember which is a good thing for several reasons.

Saw a hen this morning on the side of the road just north of Kent that had a bunch of quail sized poults with her

Had some on the lawn this morning; first poults of the year. Last year we had 3 different broods that used the lawn for their first few days. I know that we have more hens around this year, so I am hoping for more than that

It's a good excuse for me to not mow the grass. smile

Not poults, but saw my first baby antelope today. Joker looked about as tall as a crow running behind it’s mother. Pretty neat. Two weeks ago and it wouldn’t have faired too well with the 47” of snow.


83% of all statistics are made up.

We’ve had them as far north in the state as you can go for 2 weeks.

Poults were on the run this morning in the wet ditches as I traveled to Church . This is Osceola NWR.
I see this every year. I think they need to get out in the open a little.

The hawks are out of control, they definitely need thinned out.

Owls are worse and the reason I feel like they are is because they can continue to murder them from the roost as the poults grow. I don't care for any predators and I do my part to keep them away.
