With spring turkey hunting underway, it’s important to understand what hens are doing right now — nesting.

Hens slip off to lay one egg a day in a well‑hidden spot, returning quietly until the clutch is full. Once she starts incubating, she stays put for nearly four weeks, relying on cover and stillness to protect her brood. Knowing this nesting window helps us hunt smart and respect the cycle that keeps turkey populations strong. Stay safe and good luck this season!
