I grew up hunting Easterns. It's obvious to me with them if it's a jake or mature bird gobbling.
I live and hunted Merriam country for years and couldn't tell the difference. Live in Rio country now and same thing. The birds that sound like "barnyard" turkeys, I can't tell a difference. An Eastern, no problem.

I hunt easterns as well in MS/Alabama and I have been able to discern a difference at times and I have also been fooled multiple times. Some Jakes can really surprise you and I have also had several mature gobblers that I thought sounded like jakes and or were jakes until they got to the gun.
In general you can tell a difference but you will run into a few that will fool you.
