Still a jake, but it's the biggest jake I've seen. 5 1/2" bird, 3/8" spurs. The stupid birds kept circling us for an hour and a half until he connected. They finally drifted off to the north of us so I took a risk and it paid off. Grabbed my gobble call and hit it and they hammered back! They covered about 500 yards in 5 minutes! Two jakes came in to 25 and 30 yards and he put the 30 yard bird down in a hurry, off my knee to add to it! Due to the angle he had the barrel resting on my right knee and I had to drop my left leg to give him a clear shot! Haven't weighed it but I'm saying about 19 pounds. Here's a pic of it.
