Title: Poults
Post by: Spring Creek Calls on July 24, 2017, 07:50:04 AM
Been seeing poults all over the western side of Michigan,  from Battle Creek to Gaylord. My initial thought is we had a good hatch. Hoping everyone is experiencing the same.

Saw three hens yesterday with 13 poults in southwest Missouri. Welcome sight. We had lots of flooding during early nesting time, but decent weather during peak hatching.

Hooksfan, what part of SW Missouri? Same here I was worried during the season w all the flooding. I'm by SpringfieldMissouri and wasn't the best gobbling/vocal for me this year. Hope next year is alot better.

Great to hear Mike.  I believe we had a good hatch as well, here in Eastern NC.   We have been seeing several hens with poults since the 13th of June.  We were on our lease yesterday and we saw 2 hens at one location with 3 poults and saw 4 hens with 7 poults in another.  All of these were flying so maybe they will be able to allude any predators that come their way.  Hope everyone has the same sightings.

Looks like a good hatch in North Florida
