If a Jake gobbles and struts would you kill him?

I hate turkeys

I have been laying here awake thinking about this one. At one time no question yes. Now I see him as next years two year old and we all know how much fun they are.  I did have one last year stand about a foot from me and gobble his head off, for a brief moment I  thought about  going kung fu on him
but I knew I would lose and it wasn't the right thing to do to the bird.
But would you shoot ? He's doing it all right now .

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

No, has happened to me many tines.

I let him put on the elaborate display and wish him well until next year.

Naw, I like the jewelry way to much to burn a tag on a future long hooked long bearded Sagdaddy.

No, wouldn't shoot a 2 1/2 buck either just because hes chasing and grunting.

A youth hunter or my wife would get the green light if they wanted, but I wouldn't even think about it.

There's too many turkeys running around to burn the tag for me
