Luckiest turkeys in Tennessee

[Harold Money jr]

To piggy back on my post last spring about the luckiest deer in Tennessee after I spotted a fawn in my hayfield mere inches from the mower blades. I was mowing off a weedy patch on my farm when literally inches from the blades a hen erupted flying off. I immediately stopped and checked where she had been fully expecting eggs, I saw these turkey chicks there's at least 8 here. I quickly shut the mower off and gave em a weed patch to do their thing in.
On a side note I've put cameras on my gates and a couple in the woods. I'm astonished at the sheer numbers of predators that are on my place. Coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, possums, and skunks. The only thing I don't have on camera is foxes. I'm hoping these can make it.

I was bush hogging again today and a hen and about 10 poults jumped about 6 feet in front of me and flew off.

Hope they make it. I caught a poult 2 years ago (I think) while bushhogging. A hen took off but stopped and kept hanging around and I saw a few of the little ones. Grabbed them and put them back in the thick's stuff they came out of.
