I saw one poult yesterday after a big red tailed hawk dropped it, minus it's head. I'm sure that is reason the numbers of Turkeys have fallen the last few years. A Great Horned Owl has nested in the same tree for three years and it about 150 yards from my house. There is a Red Tail Hawk nest about a 1/4 mile from the house. It's been nesting there for 15 plus years. The of rabbits, squirrels, poults, and any small mammals do not have much of a chance. I have around 15 mature oak trees (Whites and Reds) and just around 20 smaller oak trees, but there are very few if any squirrels. I see one every once in a while.

15 poults with 3 Hens just now , 3 sizes Man, that's wonderful! I did finally see two poults. Now I've seen 5 jakes, one tom and two hens. I'm thrilled! I saw 4 of the jakes yesterday twice when I was cutting grass around the plot. They left when I started cutting and came back when I was finishing up. Hey, I finally saw one fawn too. I was worried. It was a good size this time of year, but had plenty of spots. Not sure where it's been all year.
