Yes jakes are much easier to call in because they do not have any hens.

I' ve passed on all jakes but have been lucky enough to have long beards come my way by the 2nd or 3rd hunt. I could see myself taking a jake on the last day I could hunt for sure.

As an example, I' m on a streak of 10 jakes called in to my decoys on two bow and 1 gun hunt. I' ll shoot one if I don' t get a tom Friday morning.
