I have lots of Hickory trees Bill quite a few giant shagbark hickory. The turkeys show up in flocks in August heavy once they start dropping. Thank these mama hens May have been looking for some early hickory nuts

Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but isn't this really late for such little ones?

Here is Shagbark Hickory very large tree I probably have less than 50 on my property but they’re mostly mature ones I also have quite a few Smoothbark hickory trees. The Shagbark nuts are the size of golf balls. I have a very healthy population of squirrels chipmunks and the turkeys.

I had treestands in shagbark hickories for a few years.  Nice stable trees, but boy can they be loud when the bark catches on your jacket.

I have a permanent Treestand in a group of three Shagbark Hickory’s growing very close together it’s a great spot in the corner of my field.  When we built it I have never encountered wood that was so tough we broke several galvanized large screws trying to fasten to the tree eventually we drilled and that worked but never again.  I made the platform large so I don’t catch my arm or bow when I draw as the bark has a tendency to reach out and grab you
