Then there is your answer!

I've been blessed to take many turkeys for my relatively short time pursuing them (almost 20 years now). On the private land I hunt, I know that jakes today are longbeards tomorrow. On public land, a jake today is someone elses jake tomorrow. So if you want to take a jake, I cast no judgement at all. Hunting is what you make it. Personally if I think a longbeard is a two year old bird and hasn't put on much of a show.... I'll let him go.... I don't care if I ever shoot another one! Just want to see 'em strutt and hear 'em gobble!
