For awhile I was genuinely concerned that I hadn't seen any turkey poults on the trail cameras this spring and summer.
Plenty of adults; but no babies.
I figured maybe the torrential monsoons in the spring caused a hatch failure. And the second laying. Or maybe the burgeoning population of predators (coyotes, racoon, skunk and fox) got what was left.
Then all of a sudden when I ran the trail camera trapline towards the end of August, Voila!
There they were. All sorts of them.
Hens along with some good-sized youngsters to put my mind at ease.
I haven't a clue where they've been hanging-out; but I guess I shouldn't fret so much.
Tough bird the turkey is....
