Jake/Gobbler hybrid
On the 2nd day of the season this year, Big Buck Brannigan (some of you might remember him) got his first gobbler while we were hunting together. It was a nice one: 19lbs, 10" beard, 3/4" spurs. It had all of the markings and size of a 2 year old bird, but the center tail section was very noticeably longer than the rest--like a jake. The other features convince me it was a 2 year old. Ever seen this before?
