I am hunting a property that had probably somewhere between 75-100 birds on it during the winter... 600 acre property with ponds spread throughout in rolling foothills...
Come turkey season, I was aware of only three toms and about 20 hens... Never saw a jake... I am assuming that these bigger flocks spread out some during the season?
I was under the assumption that hens keep breeding until all the eggs are layed... And, once the hens have layed all the eggs, they stop breeding and mingling with toms.
