Nests and more Nests in NC

Hunting Saturday, we set up in two different spots and unknown to us were within a few feet of hens on nests. Didnt know it until they finally bumped off several minutes later, scared us to death!!!!!!!! Anyhow, snapped a pic each time and got out there so she could come back.
Thats a whole lot of new turkeys
what is the ratio of eggs to poults that survive typically?

If a hen raises 3 to adult its considered a success. Guy was mowing hay below my house the other day and ran over 2 nests. One had a hen on it and evidently she stood up and he whacked her legs off

These nests look as though they should be out of the way of humans. Hopefully the predators will leave them alone.

You must have a low bird numbers if youve never seen a nest.
Worse than the bird flu on gobblers!
