[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 3209090, member: 10019"] You know this is almost a philosophical question, why? On my family farm, I would not shoot a Jake and if your a newbie I would encourage you to wait until the last minute to shoot a Jake, mainly because we have a good thing going on there and its about as close to perfect as I could imagine (meaning, plenty of vocalization and a 1/2 dozen 2+ year old birds or older to hunt, all on 80 acres). Public land, it depends on how hard I work for it...this is completely contradictory to my thoughts on my own farm but the thrill you get out of actually hunting hard is so much more than the "trophy" thrill you get. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying I trophy turkey hunt, I just like hunting mature Toms while they are strutting and gobbling for dominance...Jakes typically lack most of that. [/QUOTE]
