I told my son the other day if I get a chance on a jake he's done then let 4 walk after calling them into 20 yards this morning. I know there are bigger birds around and thought I might get a chance on one today, had the one I want bad coming in off the roost only to get cut off by a hen.
I've called 8 Jakes in this year and hopefully they will be around next spring.
Son just called me and busted my butt for not whacking any of the four this morning.
I swear next time I'm out if I call in a Jake I'm blasting it. Unless.........
