[QUOTE="Soft Talker, post: 5879832, member: 23512"] Here in East Tn, after have had started on them around the middle of the second week of March, the most dominant of those 3 will have already bred most of the older, mature Hens of the 13, by the first week of April. If at any time during that period, he gets killed, within prolly 2 days, the next in line takes over. As the older, bred Hens set up nesting, it will string the remaining flock out over a considerable area. Some Jennies will stick together and stay around their "settin" mothers, while others will venture to nesting sites of their own, thus spreading the flock thinner. This will allow the remaining Gobblers, to set up an area of their own, and divide up the willing Hens left. If the remaining 2 longbeards are killed during this period, the band of at least 2 or 3 Jakes that haven't already been mentioned, will take over breeding responsibilities into mid Summer. I'm guessing this scenario, as I have personally witnessed for 22 years now, plays out the same way all over the state of Tn. ;) [/QUOTE]
