[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5879838, member: 1409"] Perhaps every "pocket" is site specific, but I don't see many nesting hens wanting to nest anywhere close to another hen. Big pocket, small pocket, to what extent does it matter? I see [U]nesting[/U] hens dispersing (from a "pocket" or a "flock"), commonly to each nest hundreds of yards from the nearest other nester. Many or most of the hens remaining "flocked" together are actually young jennies, which aren't ready yet for their 1st breeding. We really need some Toms to survive into May to help breed them. When the dominant Tom is "busy" with a particular hen, several hundred yards away, another comparably dominant Tom can simply come in from any direction. IMO, the more Toms in the greater general area, the better. And the more breeding days those Toms have before one of us kills him, the better the odds for better nesting success of those hens.
