crazy how hidden hens can be on nest

[REN]

was out looking at 8 acres to build a house on today, the easement out to the property is 50yds wide and is barely over ankle height in pasture grass. had a hen in a tiny dip on a nest and flush when I was about 7yds away and scared the crap out of me. Literally never saw her and still amazes me how low they can get in the wide open and you still cant see them. NO IDEA why she was trying to nest there with ZERO cover.

Did you check the nest for eggs?

nah didnt even mess with it, I couldnt tell exactly where she was at so I didnt want to walk around it and step on them without seeing them.

So true!
Thanks for posting that, REN!
I just quoted you on a different thread here in the "turkey forum"

So, you gonna wait on putting the driveway in ?

When I built my house there were two nests on the property next o me. One was 50 yards max from where my home was being built but both were in some thick stuff. She wouldn't move for nothing.

because you could walk right by and never see her
