I've done it a couple times but each time it's been on one of those years when the gobblers aren't gobbling much and I'm having hard luck. It seems my filter for deciphering a jake from longbeard gets a little blurry when it's like that.  :goofball:

Whew, glad I got that off my chest!!! Now bring on the longbeards or longbeard looking-ish turkeys.  :z-guntootsmiley:

I've killed 2 jakes kinda on accident. In KY you can take two bearded birds so I don't feel bad. Neither of them strutted, I couldn't see their spurs or the length of their beards. If I had known and waited, a big boy might have been trailing behind. Then again, they might have been all alone. No regrets.

Once that I can think of, full roll gobble and hung up and acted like a tom, late season thick cover and  only got a peak of his head and let em have it!

17lb "super jake"  no regrets!
