Great hatch here (pics)

I moved in here at the beginning of June and see the occasional turkey...today I was cleaning up the remains of fireworks and came up on two hens, each with an impressive clutch. I didn't get very good pics but here is a part of them, doesn't show all the birds. They were a lot bigger than quail....

amazing with all the fescue around here, that there are any turkeys at all. Stir stir

I didn't even count but I'd say it looked like at least 8 poults for each hen

Good deal. I'm seeing lots of poults here in East TN. I saw a hen with 8 poults last weekend. They are the size of a grouse and can fly very well.

I'm just seeing hens in groups with no poults. Not looking good for me.

Is that the Duck in your back yard? If so, I'm jealous!

Was wondering the same thing. My guess is either Duck or Harpeth.

My guess is a nice farm pond.

The more I look at it, the more I think you may be correct Wes.

Hope they all make it.

Yea it's a pond not a river, I'm working on stocking it with bass and catfish. The duck or harpeth would be nice too lol

Seeing a lot more hen with poults now. It had to be a late hatch over all.... most I'm seeing are less than a month old. About the size of a softball.
The duck is a mile from my house.

That's awesome man. Looks like you've got yourself a good hunting spot when they grow bigger. I've seen a few groups of poults around lately with a hen and I'm glad to see it. Of course, now that it isn't Turkey season I'm seeing them all over the place. Figures!
