Title: Toms, Jakes or Hens????
Post by: mpcw34 on March 21, 2011, 09:58:31 PM

Just got back from my new hunting lease here in NC and brought back a few pictures from the cameras. I could use some help deciding what I'm seeing...can't tell if they're Toms, Jakes or Hens in the pictures.

Any help is appreciate for this novice turkey hunter!!!!!

Thanks, in advance!

Jakes

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a few ways you can tell the difference between hens and jakes/toms.
black in color = Tom or Jake
Long Legs usually = Jake
Very small or no spurs = Jake
Also the head seems to be reddish in color.

Jake on the left. Zoom in the picture and you can see the black nub on his leg
