Ravin R10 man Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) spooked a hen out from under a small red pine, while getting ground ready for beans.......figured she was on eggs....14 of them!

RangerClay Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Unfortunately she may not return. I was by one of our DEC officials that once a turkey is spooked off her nest she rarely comes back. Often they go off and start another nest. You may want to check back and she if she is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I highly doubt that...Ive spooked them off with forwarder and that hen came right back....we were about to leave the field, so it got real quiet fast, and farm equipment they are used to anyways, we had been right there earlier in the day,..11 a.m. if she had spooked then she was back from that, this was 8 p.m. when I saw her.

wtnhunt Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Bumped one off a nest in the middle of a grass pasture a couple weekends ago when the neighbors cows got loose and tried getting them back in for him. Scared one off a nest here before and she started a new nest like Joe said. No telling how many nests I have come up on while mowing.

Ravin R10 man Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Good news, we planted that field today and I rolled it late today, went right by her at 8 foot away, she just stayed right on the nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
