Flushed a covey of 10 to 15 small toddler turkeys this morning in southern Greenville County. I could hear the hen clucking in the woods. They were in the same field where the lone hen and single little baby turkey was spotted a month ago.
I flushed a covey of about 6 in southern Greenville county last Saturday. My folks had a hen and about 5 or 6 poults in Anderson County last week. Never see turkeys at there place so it was quite a nice surprise.

Had 3 hens and 7 poults drift through the yard 3 weeks ago one afternoon. Saw another hen with less than a dozen small chicks yesterday about a mile away, Laurens County. Saw 2 hens and several fist sized poults in a field near 96 a couple weeks ago. Haven't seen a full brood anywhere, either turkeys or wood ducks so far.

Still haven't seen a poult in Spartanburg or cherokee counties. Had 3 hens in the back yard yesterday,none with hens.....not good.
If it aint got 8 toes & a green head,it aint a duck.
Saw 2 longbeards strutting in a field with 4 hens last Tuesday. Southern Spartanburg county. Still no poults seen in person or on cameras.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
Dates are correct, latest hatch I've seen.

We've had a hen with several poults (sans pin feathers) in our yard as late as 9/28 before. I have pictures of a hen with poults still showing egg teeth on 7/28 one year. No idea of the mortality on those late late hatches but it sure explains variations on tom sizes, super jakes etc. Some of them have surely got to make it.
