If I take a bird this year at the ranch, I will take a jake. I will see from 12 to 20 all together at times. Thier fans are just about full now but have 2 to 3 inch beards.

Those are good looking birds. Let the arrow fly.

Yes, three jakes. Flogged my decoy for about 45 mins. Was fun to watch! Perfect morning buts it's been slow. Haven't heard a gobble yet. Ive only hunted out of a turkey blind but a handful of times. It's kind of boring...Giving it till 10:00 a.m. then changing course to the Crappie spawn. Big storms coming around 4 today.

I have a love/hate relationship with jakes.

I love to see them and know they’ll be gobbling fools as two year olds next year!

I hate them when you have a gobbler coming in and jakes show up and run him off!!

The love of them being gobbling fools outweighs my hate of them running off what appears to be a gobbler down!

Normally we run and gun. Call locate a tom and work out way close slowly. Not very boring. But the place I'm hunting has over 8 miles of road public land each side that dead ends. If we blow one shot we just go down the road a little more and find another bird. Have not had much luck having them come in like love struck teens so we tried slipping up on them. Worked great last season with both boys taking big mature toms. Got to say they would have shot the Jake's also. Or at least I think they would have.they have only killed two turkey each at this point so any legal bird is game on.

Our youth starts tomorrow. Trying a small shallow pond for the first time now. To much moss for me. Just waiting for my 13 year old to decide he is done.

MY grandson is a r un and gunner also. Locate a tom and stalk behind his homemade tom decoy, Also good with the call.
