The boys are still feeling it where I live. This group walked through the yard and down my driveway this morning.

Kid that plays ball with ours told me he saw a couple hens with about 14 poults 3 weeks ago. They were in my hunting area. Daughter spotted 3 hens with a few poults down the road from our house. There's a few scattered around my neck of the woods.

I saw a couple of hens with around 15 poults on a field edge last week. They were a couple of miles from my place. Sightings have been limited so far.

Thanks for the "tease" in the hot summer. Have you seen any of the Tom's actually breed still? With that much activity, there has to be some poults around.

Quote from: JeffC on July 14, 2022, 06:26:31 PMJeff, I've seen poults with hens a few times not far down the road, but so far this year none on my place. I got game camera pics of one of those toms breeding a hen on June 2nd.

July 25th in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. 7 hens were pecking around in the yard when 4 gobblers came in and started putting on a show for the ladies. The ladies weren't interested, but the guys gave it a try anyway.
