[davydtune]

Shoot him! Jakes usually have an uneven tail fan. That guy is a mature bird.

 

[ranger1973]

no step in the tail its a long beard.

 

[PAstringking]

no questions about that one....

but then again...i shoot jakes :wink:

 

[Carpn]

Both gobblers are toms......Nothing wrong with shooting a Jake either...

 

[Skeptic]

This is a pic of a Jake, notice the tail fan.

 

[QuickReflex]

white head & strutting = shooter longbeard
red head & strutting = ..............shooter jake

She'd love it for sure! She is in school during the week so it won't happen next week when I come.

 

[ahawk19]

as others have said

Its a tom the tail feathers are even. I think the bird beside it may be a longbeard also.

 

[ahawk19]

at second glance

The bird right beside it is definatly another tom.

[HOKIEHUNTER07]

Being that the picture is 4 years old, he may not be on the land anymore, but that is definetly a mature Tom.
