Ive got no turkey on my property until last year. A hen nested and I jumped her up by accident. I left the area and didnt go back for 3 weeks and found her nest with all the eggs still in it and you could tell she hadnt sat on the eggs.
After deer season I put up a feeder with a timer. It throws corn, oats and cracked corn once a day at daylight.
Today as i rode my 4 wheeler around a curve by my deer stand there was a hen turkey. My feeder is not far away and I check it. To my amazement there were turkey turds and scratch marks around the feeder. I filled the feeder up and changed the time and left.
Im so happy I got a bird visiting and hopefully she will nest close and raise a flock this year! I dont plan on hunting my property for turkey until I get some birds established. h.h.
