Dang I hate to hear that, but it happens alot when people cut their fields.

[outlaw]

we have hit 8 fawns to this year and not even half done yet it makes  you fell bad when it happens

[MarkJM]

so far we have hit 1 fawn and 1 nest. its a shame.

That's a shame,but a nesting hen in a hay field and a bush hog is rough on the turkey population !

[outlaw]

Ain't much you farm boys can do to prevent that either.I can only imagine how upsetting that must get. Hope the 5 make it.

[drenalinld]

That's a tough deal. I hope the five make it. Props to you guys for trying to save them.

[mossy835]

Hope they make it also and kudos to you for your efforts.

We've hit 2 jakes. I was sad. By the time I saw them, the blade was right behind them.

Small hay field in KY 5 nests over 60 turkey eggs-- gone.

I went groundhog hunting this morning and when I was done I talked to the landowners wife and she told me they hit a turkey on the nest last week and killed her. She only had 3 eggs. I thought that was pretty odd, about the eggs that is.

Only plus about the situation is you got ya self some wingbones to play with...hopefully.

all the eggs we destroy by accident think of all the ones eaten and smashed by racoons, foxes, yotes, and the like.

watched a hen one time run around and try and chase off 5 racoons, walked down the hedge row and found the nest all but one egg had been destroyed by those masked little buggers.. they were lucky they were out of shotgun range all morning
