The wife and I moved from FLA up to God's country in Tennessee 3-1/2 months ago. We've got deer and turkeys on our place. Haven't seen any poults yet, and was worried about it. Have had very few sightings or game cam pics of predators or nest raiders. We have been seeing lots of adult turkeys.
Finally last week we had 4 adult hens come in with poults of 2 different sizes. There are 4 poults about 2/3's grown, and 10 poults that are about 1/2 grown. It was awesome to see, and now that they've found the corn pile by the house, we've been seeing them regularly. :icon_thumright:

5/19, found a lot of scratching, started soft talking and scratching my way thru woods, sign continued to get fresher. Look to my left a Hen is 15' from me, have to get to phone, she doesn't  like me moving, starts to walk away then turns and starts walking back to me, start videoing, then the ground starts moving between us, 8 newly hatched poults. Cant get the video to post here, too big of a file, click on link below, I hope it works, taken me 2 days of trying to get it posted. It was awsome to see interaction between momma Hen and her poults, think when she first saw me move she putted, they all froze, had to been only 7 to 10' from me and I never saw them till she calls for them to follow her.

One of the bearded hens behind the house was gone  in late Spring and I figured she was a nesting casualty.  She showed up again in early July with 10 poults.  Another (non bearded) hen started coming around with 3 poults of her own, that got reduced to two.  Those 2 poults took up with the bearded hen & they all come around to eat every day.

Luck counts, good or bad.

Eastern shore of Maryland, saw a hen with 6 or 8 young poults this morning, maybe 2 or 3 months old. Been told they were in the area, 1st I've seen them, made it across a busy 2 lane. Hope they make it, looked big enough to fly.

The wife saw a different flock of hens that had maybe 6 poults maybe half grown. Different area than our normal group. Dad reported on Wednesday, he saw 6 or 8 hens with probably that many poults in his county. He lives in next county over from us.

MS had to have one of the best hatches ever.. I've seen several large groups on camera and on the roads.. I am currently running 4 cameras on different properties and there are flocks at each one of them.. 2 are at places I've NEVER seen turkeys..  I've definitely been more excited about turkey pics than deer this year!

Daughter sent me this pic out her back door Saturday.  Really good flock right here on our property.

Riding around Saturday we bumped a flock.  Looked like 2 adult hens and 16 good size poults. 
Best I've seen in years

Saw these about 5 miles from the cabin. Fron what I could tell its about 6,7 hens with a bunch of polts ranging in size from small to 3/4 grown. Close to 30 altogether. Was hard counting them as they were running around eating grashappers. The pic not so good
