Born2Hunt Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is anyone seeing any birds? It looks like around here we had a very good spring hatch because I am spoting birds every place I look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exturkinator Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? I've seen a lot of turkeys (a number of very nice gobblers) this fall while out scouting the duck holes.... Only problem is my fall gobbler license is for the southwest corner of the state!

Guest rds Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Born2Hunt, I'm not sure where you are in Northern NY but I live in Oneida county and I'm with you. Good spring hatch, I'm seeing birds everywhere and fall season is coming fast,"yipee". Good luck on Oct.1st, I know I'll be out there.

wtnhunt Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Got one pretty good one that comes through the backyard just about every day, has gotten his pic made at our cameras on several occasions. Just posted a pic of him in another thread in here. Too bad there is no fall season in this county. Always seem to see more turkeys here in the summer and fall than we see in the spring.

snapper Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Good morning...came home from work this morning, as I was about to my drive...two hens and a young one came out on the road. Slowed down and 5 more little ones came acrossed. Stopped and put the windows down and could here Kee Keeing and yelping on both sides of the road. Neat to hear and put a smile on my face!

Guest luckyman4 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Marc & rds, I've been seeing birds everywhere since the farmers finally got the hay cut, but don't you think the poults look small for this time of year? As I recall, the young are usually about the same size as adult hens by bow season, but this year they are much smaller. I've saw some articles from local wildlife biologists worried that the wet spring would cause a loss of this year's young. It doesn't look like we "lost" this year's young, but maybe there were some lost clutches, and the hens renested later?? Or is my memory really beginning to fail and the young are the "normal" size this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Been getting pics of one tom about every day, just posted some pics in the photo forum. See at least hens every time I go into my back field where we cut hay off of a couple weeks ago. Hear birds every weekend along my walks around the property.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? luckyman, you're right. I think the poults are definitely alot smaller this year than in previous years. Last year's hatch was really good because we had a fairly dry spring. It wasn't too wet nor too dry. This year (2006) was pretty bad. Those heavy rains totally washed out the nests that were already made in early May. I still managed to tag out this past spring, I shot a jake ( definitely last year's hatch ) on opening day. Then I shot a tom on 5/14. I saw only four hens this year with a group of about 30 poults between the four of them. They were all chicken sized though. Definitely small. They must have been a late nested batch.

ThethirdI Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? I saw 20 of them last weekend when I was out scouting. They were about 45 yards from my stand. I'm pretty sure that one of those birds is going to wind up on the dinner table . They tend to hover around my stand site quite a bit.

wtnhunt Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Sunday morning while sitting in my climber hoping to see some deer, watched a bird for over an hour. Was the same one I am getting a lot of pics of with a beard dragging the ground. He got within archery range, too bad we dont have a fall season.

ladydiehard Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: Any Birds ??????? Been seeing alot of birds...nice birds too.

If they ever have enough birds killed in the spring the twra told me they would consider some fall quota hunts. North and north west of Nashville around Montgomery county there are a lot of birds.

We should line something up to hunt together for the spring season down there in TN - AEDC near Manchester is super good... I'd be more than willing to drive a bit westward if you know of some good places in West TN. I live for a good turkey hunt (is there any other kind of turkey hunt?).
