RE: diff. between jake and tom???
BKE, I won't pretend to be what I'm not, all my birds have been taken with a shotgun (we can't gun hunt sundays so I take the bow, just haven't connected yet). But, up here we have to take a turkey safety course before buying a lisence, and the instructor did tell us that the corn hole of a strutting bird is an excellent target for bow hunters, I can't really think of a reason not to shoot at a strutting tom.
I suggest asking some of these questions in the Turkey forum, there are lots of guys that know alot more than I do down there, and many are bow hunters also.
Good luck this spring everyone.
