Nesting Conditions?

[Lawdwaz]

All this rain and cold temps aren't  helping the restocking future of the Wild Turkey.  Will this cause an upswing in breeding activity if/when the hens loose current nests??

if the nest is lost the hens will renest..i've seen young poults as late as september.

June is the month when cold/wet weather can really have an adverse effect on the turkey hatch..

Average hatch date in NY is around June 11.. Cold/wet weather then will put a hurting on the turkey hatch.. A warm, dry June means lots of turkey poults survive...Weather like what we are having NOW would be deadly on the hatch if it occured in June.. No need for alarm yet..
