my dad and i hunted separate fields opening morning and each harvested a nice tom. his was 20lbs with a 10"beard and 3/4" spurs and mine was 21.5 lbs with an 11" beard and 7/8" spurs.
I passed on a Jake opening morning but shot one of three that came in the second morning. The only year since we have been allowed two that I did not get both was a year I passed on a bunch of jakes early. So I decided not to let pride stand in the way of getting a bird. The next one will have to be a Tom or the last week of the season. I passed up on seven jakes on Sunday. Where I am hunting I have seen at least 14-15 jakes (probably a lot of the same ones over and over) and only one Tom and he was 200 yards away. Must have been a productive spring last year.
