MadHuntinPastor Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Yes last year. I was hunting with my buddy and we scared a hen up. We didn't think about it until the next week when we flushed her again from the very same spot. We went to check it out and sure enough was a nest with about 8-10 eggs. I'll try and scan it soon and add it to this post to show you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: Turkey nests...... I've run across several over the years. I usually try to stay out of the areas where I think there's a good chance of finding one. Sometimes, when spooked off the nest, the hen will not come back.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: Turkey nests...... I found a bunch of nests last summer. It was right after our season just ended. I found the eggshells right inside the nest it was pretty cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Turkey nests...... I've seen the remains of egg shells on a nest once shortly after the hatch. I've also seen a couple of hens sitting on the nest before but kept my distance and eased off. I really don't want to spook those hens off their nest for the same reason Strut mentioned but I have accidently spooked a few hens off the nest.

maytom Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Turkey nests...... I have only seen two actual nests over the last 15 years. The most recent was two springs ago in PA, and I happened to catch the hen actually leaving the nest as I walked by, I caught the movement out of my left eye. I walked up to the nest to check it out and there was one egg that looked like it rolled about 2' away from the nest? I didn't touch anything, and left it as is, and walked away. Here is a pic of a actual turkey nest that a friend sent me last year from Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
