Avian flu killing thousands of domestic turkeys. Did it kill your wild ones. Something killed most of mine. Went from 75 to 4 by actual count.

Pete, if this just happened recently, it is likely due to the spring break up.
Fall= Large flock or flocks.
Spring= Individual birds or a few early flocks of hens that soon disperse as they begin to set.
Hens do not like other turkeys in their nesting areas. Gobblers do not like other gobblers in their breeding areas. Turkey's disperse in the spring for various reasons. These being the biggest reason. Short of pics of dead birds, you are likely just seeing this. God Bless
