Does anyone out there hunt over a full strut tom? When you do, are you concerned about scaring away jakes?

Regards,

I used to hunt with one and did notice that the jakes would hang up and not come in. The only time they would was if there were three or more in a group...strength in numbers I guess!!! Lol
I hunt public land now so I don't use it anymore. Hard enough to get any bird in, can't afford to be picky. If it's brown......

The only thing i would be concerned with is getting 2 oz of #4 shot flying by my face!..be very careful. Could be very dangerous.

As for scaring away jakes in concerned, i would think it would do more harm then good.

i us a fumm strutt tom early season and have had great luck with them . if you watch your birds before the season and see lots of birds in the area then go for the full strutter . if only a lone tom then just a singel hen or a jake . i seen lots of toms out this evening strutting up a storm with jakes all around them DUTCH

Good to know, Dutch. I had three gobblers at the farm last year but I didn't get one. Hopefully the strutter will tick them off enough to put them in range.
