Right now your 2 yr old or better Toms are also flocked. They will inter mingle at times. Here in Wisconsin I've been seeing toms. Jakes, and hens all striving for dominance in their groups. Lots of mature Tom yelping. It has a deeper rapier tone.

Jakes do breed. You will see jakes always trying to breed a hen. Its like anything else. The hen calls rhe shot.

Almost the kast day of Wisconsin s fall hunt. I watched well over 100 birds. 2 big flocks of jakes, over 70 hens of which 5 of those were bearded. I almost dhot one. And 13 long beards. One of which, fed by himself. Didnt care what any of the other long beards were doing
He was bullied by 2 other toms who did semi strut but he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Nice dpurs on that tom
Closest he got to me was 51 yds. I passed.

spend time out. Watch the flock hierarchy. I kearned a ton. The decoys i did use. I placed as in a spring set up. And it was all wrong.

One big tip. You have snow. You know rhey feed in a certsin area. Clear some ground.
