Went to the woods today to check on a few things but got a late start after running some errands. About 9am I see a huge gobbler feeding in a field with 2 hens right off the interstate as I go by doing about 70. 2 hours later when I finally get to the property in central FL I come to a gas line and drive up on a hen and about a dozen poults. They couldn't have been more than a couple days old and were probably about the size of my fist, if that. I got some pics on my phone and I'll try and post them up later.
Anyone else seen any poults yet? Kinda funny to see a gobbler still hanging with a couple hens and then run into a hen with a bunch of little ones.
I haven't seen any poults yet this spring. All of the birds my dad and I got were with groups of hens as well, and no poults to be seen.
Its a bit early for poults in Mi. but should start seeing them in another week or two.
Ive seen 6 poults since Friday. They are in my room.

Me and a friend were hunting in South Ga. this weekend and as we were walking down a logging road a Hen tried to attack my buddy, she had what looked to be around 12 tagging along with her.
I saw 14 of them here in Missouri last Saturday. They were still wrapped up in that hard thing they come in.
One of my friends IN SW Florida saw two springs ago a hen teaching her poults how to fly. She had them walk up a small mound of dirt about 3 ft. high and take off from there. Would have been a great video.
