I'm somewhat New hunting again after taking a few years off so I didn't get to hunt the golden years of NY but we saw many more birds in western NY than last year. So many Jakes it was absurd. Those that waited were rewarded with big fat birds. 22 lbs 1inch spurs and 10inch beard and dad got 21.5 1.25inch spurs and 11.5 beard absolute ham of a bird. I was so proud to call that bad boy for him!
