A Jake is a legal bird? You need to ask yourself - what do I want out of this? Only you canask that question and then answer it.

Now me - am to a point in my turkey career - I do catch and release - Jakes are let go - but caught on film for me to enjoy over and over and over again as I called them in. To me the kill is the end - and yes - I have a few mounted unused tags - so be it - I am after quality of the hunt and not quantity. But then Imust remind you - I hunt several different states as I can afford to. If you do not have that luxury - then see my first comment. Ethical turkey hunters never poo-poo another man's methods as we each have our own. If they do then they left their ethics in the tiruck and you know from the getgo - you probably would not choose to hunt with that person.
