Warm conditions and effects????
I think all of us would agree that due to the warmer spring that our turkeys are way ahead of schedule. I have talked to 2 guys that live in southern MO, 1 guy in AR, a guy in TN and LA that have seen hens with poults already. I've been watching a bird in our alfalfa that hasn't strutted for almost 2 weeks. He and the gobbler my boy shot had 18 hens with them the night before youth season, the most I have seen with him the last week and half is 2. Also the first day of turkey season I saw a fawn track in one of my mineral licks and talked to some more guys that have seen the same thing.
