So we are sitting at dinner tonight after my daughters softball game and my step dad hands me his phone and says “there are 2 hens nesting in that square” the square is near the road and very near one of our rental houses on our cattle farm in TN. I asked him how he knew and where the drawing come from and he told me a lady from UT had backpacks in both of them. They are from a 100 gobbler and 100 hen study where all are tagged and radio collared. These 2 hens are the only 2 that came our direction from 8 miles away she told him. They are both nested in a square that on the map she gave him that is 100’x100’ish. She is supposed to come back and flag both and will be watching them daily. I bet they are laying in the same nest. Pretty cool that they are there, but sad they may be the only 2 that have ever nested there too. Very slim pickings ever for a turkey to be in that area.
