I saw a jake chasing 2 hens yesterday, gotta give him credit. Also saw 2 sandhill cranes in the field. First ones I ever saw up here. Nice to see new things. Z
That is cool. The Jake must have thought the two hens were real lookers!
Those cranes are funny to see. I see a few during scouting season and hunting season.
Jakes are like 16 or 17 year old boys, chasing anything and everything. Some of us still remember what that was like!

:TooFunny:
I'm still chasin' :drool:
Last week I saw three jakes strutting with a lone hen in a fresh cut hay field. Wonder if any of them got any :z-flirtysmile3:
Chances are the three jakes more than likely got in a fight and the hen walked off all alone or found a girlfriend.
Cranes around this neck of the woods were almost nonexistent 20 years ago, now they're all over the place. I usually see more crane than turkeys in fields.
I started seeing the cranes about 10 years ago. I watched two fight of two coyotes one day. The cranes were very effective.
Saw my little guy again, no quit in him, lol. He might be a good youth day bird next year. Z
