Do you hunt jake wild turkeys?
beards and spurs make for poor table fair. First legal bird too the party gets an invite to dinner.
Jakes are more tender than old longbeards.
I wouldn't pass on one, they taste much better. So yes I hunt jake wild turkeys LOL
Absolutely, much better eating. I would take a 16 lb. Jake over a 24 lb. Tom any day...................................Daniel
One wonders for those that answer no if at the 11th hour on the last day a Jake stands in front of you presenting the choice of either a good meal or tag soup what the choice would be.
If the answer is yup I'd take him than you be a Jake hunter too.
A jake in the hand is worth two toms in the bush.

Every time...
I’d much rather take a Jake. I have passed up big gobblers to take one.
Hummmmmm........ 30% claim not to hunt jakes however 100% of the comments are pro Jake. Guess no one wants to commit to never taking a Jake. I'm sure there is the odd one that would choose to eat tag soup then pop a Jake but not 30%.
Big spurs and long beards are terrible table fare. LOL
Yes!! I would take a Jake!!
Hi everyone. First post.
I clicked no as i dont go out to hunt a jake, have passed on a jake and had some of my best hunts while having jakes in front of me. I dont mean any disrespect to anyone who shoots a jake, as i have also and prefer them for the deep fryer! But like the added challenge of getting a wise old tom in close. Thats what i plan to do everytime I go out...And that does not happen everytime I go out! I think if the question was do you shoot jakes or would you shoot a jake would maybe get different responses? Just my 2 cents.
If it read tag soup or Jake why would it make a difference? Sure all of us want that huge tom or 10 point buck but if you punch that tag on anything else than you should respond yup I hunt jakes. Think for most respondents its a bit of vanity to claim you only hunt toms. Like I said earlier there may be the odd one out there but not the 25% plus as claimed.
Computer savy guys out there must be a source to the harvest stats collected as to the number of toms vs jakes taken. Would love to see actual take as compared to what's claimed.
Toms only for this guy.
Butterball for me.
