I'm seeing a lot of turkeys in timothy and sorghum fields. They have seemed to make it through a somewhat tough winter in good shape. I'm not so sure about the pheasants. A lot of them get taken by the hawks. But there should be enough for the breeding season.
Hawks are a big problem for the pheasants on the property. Since they are illegal to shoot, there seem to be a lot more of them now than when I was a youth. I don't advocate killing them, but I wish the population wasn't so high.
