caznik Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 About two weeks ago I came home from work in the morning and when I happen to pull in the driveway I seen 2 hens and around 50 baby turkeys. Man that was a pretty cool site to see, more turkeys for me to hunt in the future. Well what I like to know is? Do these baby turkeys when they are about 6in high, can they fly in the trees when they are suppose to roost. I remember about 5 years ago I was working in my back yard and I had my german shorthair loose with me. I started hering all kinds of turkeys flying around in the woods behind my house. Well about 3 minutes later here come my dog with a baby turkey in here mouth still alive. I took the turkey away from her and the baby took off. I just wonder if my dog can catch a baby turkey. I wonder how many baby turkeys get killed by coyotes to. Caznik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntingfool43 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Saw a hen tonight with 7 little ones, about 8" tall and they all flew off from the road. I think yotes cause more problems by killing hens that are setting. Had a hen last year that I was keeping an eye on, she had a dozen eggs in her nest and something killed her and all the eggs were destroyed too.
