Default Couple questions with a short video

Ahhh I can feel the time drawing near. That familiar burn in the pit of my stomach is starting to brew! Long exhausting days, a ticked off wife, and a bruised tail bone from countless hours of sittin on the hard ground, Man i CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!
Birds have been getting harder and harder to find around here, but last yr found a new spot with lots of birds, long drive but a really cool spot. Only prob last yr was it seemed to be over run with nothing but jakes, nice big birds, but jakes none the less. Their aggressive nature, exampled in the video makes me think that there were no longbeards around. So my first question: an area loaded with jakes last yr, will it be loaded with toms this yr???? Or have i stumbled on some type of a juvinile proving ground and will see the same thing again this yr?
Next question: What the heck am i seeing in this vid? I mean its obvious whats going on, but for the life of me i couldn't see while filming, or on the vid a willing recipiant for what was taking place.
Have any of you ever seen this befor? If he is that fired up to where he's just goin at it solo, its a definate confidence crusher since i couldn't get him to eaven think about giving me the time of day!! Tell me what ya'll think, Thanks!!!

Hey j76. How have you been doing. We were on the same contest team a couple years ago. Not sure what that bird is doing. I know I have never seen a bird in my neck of the woods do that. Good luck this spring.

First...think you should be good to go on longbeards! I've never seen a spot with just young birds year after year, seeing jakes always gets me pumped about next season.

Second...haha, dose look like he's gettin down? Maybe the hen scooted off? I watched a primos video once with a gobbler posturing to a jake decoy with wings out wide and kind of fluttering......maybe that's what it was.

I know if you see him this year he'll shake more than that with a load of #6 in his head! Good luck
