Dr. Williams,
I understand that a hen only has to be bred once to lay a clutch of eggs. What if that nest is destroyed and the hen attempts to re-nest? Does she need to be bred again or will the first breeding still be there to fertilize? I have heard of hens re-nesting and laying unfertile clutches.
Also, is there a good book about turkey habitat preferences and behaviors?
Thanks
cuttinAR,
If she has her nest destroyed by predators, she will not go to gobbler before she renests.
I have a book titled Wild Turkey Hunting & Management. You can order it my website: www.lovettwilliams.com.
