[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5882801, member: 10399"] Yes, you are reading it wrong. If it's not a "bearded turkey," it's not legal to kill. The jake vs. gobbler distinction only applies to legal turkeys — i.e., "bearded turkey." In other words, our regs now define an adult male turkey, but they simultaneously prohibit an adult male turkey from being killed unless it is also a "bearded turkey. Meanwhile, bearded hens are fine to kill. You can kill two hens, but you can only kill one jakes, and you can't kill an obviously adult gobbler if it doesn't have a beard. This ridiculous reality is what mega is pointing out. And it's essentially all to keep bearded hens legal. God forbid we expect licensed turkey hunters to know the difference between a boy turkey and a girl turkey. It's just asinine. [/QUOTE]
