    Saw for hens with 20-25 poults. Most already fledged but 6-8 were only a day or two old. Good to see

    4 hens and around 15 poults were in yard this morning. It is amazing how fast they've grown since I first saw them.

    I finally got a good count over the last week, was getting worried but they showed themselves.

    3 flocks.
    First 2 flocks where 8 hens with 43 poults, some ˝ grown, some 2/3
    3rd flock was 3 hens, one jake and 26 poults – 6 were 2/3 grown, the rest were about half.

    I've got an old bearded gal that has to be 6+ on age. She always seems to have little ones as well. Come to think of it, a good multi beard gobbler is killed every few years.

    We got bearded hens. 4 and pretty sure a 5th in this one flock here last March. Never a multi bearded tom from this property though.

    I've killed 4 off this place in the past 2 years....none of them were multi bearded.

    Honestly didn't realize there was any connection....but good to know there might be.

    Just my experience that when I see bearded hens on a piece of property I usually shoot more multi bearded birds. It has stood true for some friends of mine as well. Don't think there is any science behind it, probably just luck.

    Here is the latest on the poults at my place. They’ve grown up! I’ve seen them almost everyday since starting this thread. They have been working on the bugs in my dove field for the past month. Finally got an up close look at them this morning. Had 22 total in the front yard and around half were jakes. Looking forward to watching them continue to mature.

    We started seeing them again this week!

    So far Two hens with their poults.

    I was surprised in the difference in ages of the groups. The first group were very young fur balls following the hen around in a food plot. The second group was large enough to fly up into some understory brush when bumped off the plot.

    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    True....but my deer and turkeys enjoy the smell of bacon cooking as the sun is rising.
