What are you guys seeing? Total #s are down around these parts but with the lack of habitat, I’m surprised any birds remain.

Does that mean the overall average poult survival rate was 2 per hen? My winter flocks are larger than normal. The dry spring most likely helped recruitment.
That’s the way I read it. I’m not seeing the gobblers like I used to. A fair amount of hens. 1 longbeard has been with the same 6 hens all winter. I get pics of them almost daily.

I’ve seen more birds this year and last year than I have in a while. I have a self imposed limit of one gobbler per property max and trap as many coons and opossums as I can.
Somebody killing them for sure. Just not me

Seen more poults this year than I have in the last 15. They are everywhere. Looks to be a fair amount of carryover from last year as well. Looks like a good crop of 2 year old gobblers. This is in Charleston and Berkeley counties.
Maybe the changes actually helped.
We had a good amount of poults this year near my lease but they were all most all hens
I've got a new to me place to hunt and have it loaded with cameras since June'ish. Sometime late summer I got my first picture of a gobbler and he was probably the biggest turkey I'd ever seen. That was the only picture I ever go of him. Through the fall and as late as last week when I pulled all the cameras, on a regular basis I have a group (most I've counted was 33) of all hens. They come to the same field several times a week. 30+ birds and no dudes in the bunch.
Do we ever get to the point were we have a fall season with a hen tag?
Hens lay the eggs. One Gobbler can fertilize a bunch of them. Dead hens don't lay eggs. Yall wannabe hen shooters remember that.

Just Damn.
You’ll never see a hen season in SC again.
And why would you even want to?
And what he said.
We kill female everything else. Maybe we stop killing hen ducks all together too? I could care less either way…
