I have shot jakes but I don't anymore. I do hunt really good private ground that we own or lease and I don't overhunt areas and choose not to shoot jakes anymore. I have no problems with my neighbors that do or anyone else. They are a legal bird and it is hunting. My son is 11 and he has never killed a jake. His first year of turkey hunting I called in a jake for him and he would not shoot it, told me he was waiting for a long beard. Youth season starts this weekend in MO and if I call in a jake he has the green light but I already know what his answer will be.
