I scored opening morning on this 17 lb Jake with a 5" beard. He was with a Boss and his twin brother and I waited as long as I could hoping for the Boss to come in closer .. but this jake started to smell a rat so I took him. I took him in J2 at 5:45 am. Worked 6 other birds that day for my friends who just got real unlucky with a few real nice/lucky birds.
It's been a great year with lots of bird activity. They've been a little quiet but they are there.
