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.

Actually 28 days she sits.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

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.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

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.

Still waiting on a sighting. Last year had 3 hens with poults I saw pretty regular along with 2 coveys of quail with young birds.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Went to spray a small field to get ready for chufla - finally going to try to plant chufla - i ran 2 hens out and saw 2 poults about quail size fly off - hopefully several were there that just ran out - all were at edge of field in thigh high grass - my first sightings
I ain’t seen jakes here in 2 years - got bunch hens here n deer and first of turkey - had 4-5 gobbler before season - They left for most of Turkey - hope to get some new blood jakes here

I don't care for any predators and I do my part to keep them away.
