This is encouraging.  I am pretty sure that we didn't have the best hatch this year in MS.  Several big thunderstorm systems throughout the hatching period, but I don't think it was terrible, plus we had the best hatch that we've had in a long time last year.

Lots of hens.........  Not a single poult seen, yet, by my brother or me.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

I saw 1 hen with 6 poults in Midwest, 6 gobblers and hens w/no poults.  I have not saw any poults in PA.

Over the weekend driving through central Missouri i saw 4 different hens in 3 different counties.  Two of them had around ten poults, and the other two had 6-8.  All flying size.  I need to tally up my total, but so far I have yet to see a poultless hen and I would say the average number of poults per hen is probably close to 8.  Quite a few with 10-12.  Poult sightings are in the hundreds for me and I usually don't see hardly any.

Seen a few poultless hens in northwest Missouri and seen a couple last night in Central Missouri. Overall has been a good hatch in Missouri probably a 2-2.5 poult per hen average. Its amazing what dry conditions can do so predators don't smell them.

89 hens and 91 poults for me since June 1
36 gobbs

Tons of year old birds though, and the groups of hens (i assume jennies) without poults have skewed my poult per hen ratio a bit
