Was off work early friday so i thought i would go out and tear up the food plot spot's again and i had to get rid of some brush from around the house off the trailer as i needed it this weekend....anyhow...after an hour or so of tearring up the plot i was getting ready to load up to head for home and i still had to get rid of the brush off the trailer...backed it in to a big juniper bush (?)....got out and started to head for the rear of the trailer and that's when i noticed this turkey taking off in flight....i thought it odd that it would have walked up there with all the activity going on noise ect....so i started looking around for a nest ...could not find it at.....went back to the trailer to unload it and there it was almost rite under the corner of the trailer....a few more feet and i likely would have run over it... :( ...spooked the heck out of her i suspect.....as i had already spooked her from her nest i walked over the 20 yards to my trail camera and moved it and set it on vidio no flash pointing at her nest....i'm sure she is used to the camera by now...as i had it set up on a feeder that she has been using i suspect....(no pic's as it is a moultrie poor trigger speed and ya have to be rite in front of it to get it to react..lol)....was getting a ton of pic's with nothing in them .....maybe her going and coming from her nest??? ....as the camera was pointing in that direction......anyway took a pic also here it is....and a pic of the trail camera up in the tree pointing towards her nest...

Very cool situation!!!!

Can you switch your camera so it will take video clips? Its be cool to get the little ones on vid!

Yep got it set up to vidio...it take's 15 second clip's i think and a couple of still's when it is triggered.....


Yeah i hope to get some pic's or vid i don't care either would be great....not gonna bother with it for a few week's......anyone care to take a guess as to how long it will be before they start to hatch....I think i heard some where it take's 21 day's ???....21 day's from when??? .......another ???? probably already answered here but i'll ask anyway....does the hen need to be bred for each egg laid..or is it just once for the whole clutch ???.......

Well went out and picked up the card from the camera over the nest....nothing.. :crycry: ...i hate this camera...i moved it and put it on a bait barrell starting to bait a bear see if i can get any pic's...if i get hit's and no pic's...i think that camera will not come out of the wood's...i think i'll cut my losses and have a little fun with a hammer... :boxing: .. :lol!!!: ..i don't think i'll ever buy another moultrie ....this thing su@ks.......


on a lighter note i did see a hen (turkey) and quite a few chick's along side the road this morning....and when i was out filling feeder's and checking the card took a spin to the back side of the property and came across a bunch of grouse chick's...they could fly had to stop and go real slow as they were flying up from every where along the trail...there was a good bunch of them... :thumbsup:
