Nah - but I carry Velcro and a paste on beard extention!
Have I - Yes. A few. I was fooled last yr on the last day by what I thought was a mature bird. It wasn't
I always try to take the strutter out if there are 2 - try not to shoot jakes, but I have taken several over the years. If it's the only thing I see I let them walk.
I hunt a lot more than many of you here.
To me it is up to the hunter - I don't belittle anyone - It is your hunt - as long as it is legal and you are not looking back over your shoulder and the hunt was ethical once your bird is down - then heck ya! It's you memory not mine.
