Seen this term tossed around on a few threads on here... What does "Super Jake" mean?

This...

Only difference to that of a grown gobbler would be his fan would still have a few longer & feathers maybe a short beard and spurs but the fan tells the story IMO. He full roll gobbles, struts, sometimes hangs up, etc. Kilt a couple... not ashamed a bit.

A jake, is a jake, is a jake.

Early born bird from the previous year. Should have a fan that appears full. Gobble is going to be close to full.

Super Jake (noun) - a term used by hunters to make themselves feel better about shooting a young male turkey.

As Yek said, a jake is a jake. They act like young male turkeys trying to learn their position. Some gobble better than others, some are more aggressive. They're just learning.

I prefer to let him walk and kill him a year or more later.

I had a "super jake" on my club last. That was his nickname. He was running with a group of turkeys that had 3 other longbeards. his beard was about 2 inches. After further inspection of this group of birds, I noticed that he had longer spurs than any of the other 3. I'm guessing he had beard rot. I'll see if I can find the pics of him.

I also had an encounter with this "super jake" he come from behind me, passed my decoys and went to a strutter that was 100 or so yds away and took him in the opposite direction. I thought the hens were the ones that pull that crap!!!!

I'm saying its an excuse for killing a young turkey. People shoot inferior young deer all the time and use the excuse of a cull buck. Shame on you Yekrut.

I won't. I called up 3 so far this year on 2 different occasions and have let them go each time. I don't shoot jakes anymore. I use to when I was younger and just starting to turkey hunt. I don't shoot spikes for the same reason.
