[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5591270, member: 19427"] Ok.... Next stupid question. I don't want to shoot a jake. Being a novice, how do I make sure to avoid this? I get that they don't have a long beard, are less likely to gobble(but might), etc. And I can certainly tell them apart if I can get a good look at the bird... But, if I follow the advice I have read on here, like get behind a rise to make him crest it so he can't see where the call is coming from... I think you get the point. Am I just supposed to remain patient and get a good look before shooting? Is there a distinct difference in the head of a jake vs a mature bird that I can immediately identify? [/QUOTE]
