[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5875422, member: 10399"] That is how nest survival is defined, but he actually extrapolated the numbers by raising the "daily nest survival"rate (.953) to the 28th power to account for the 28 day incubation period. No doubt a majority of those poults will die before August from a million different causes. But you have to start somewhere. And I hope everyone will agree that's it's better to start with more turkeys before the attrition factors take their toll. And by all means, as individuals we should keep doing what we can to reduce attrition (trapping, habitat improvements, etc.). Doing what we can to hatch more poults and doing what we can to help those poults survive to adulthood are not mutually exclusive. [/QUOTE]
