Turkey Opener Double Header

[88 man]

My bro and I went out opening morn and this is what we came home with by 8:30 am.Bro got his at 6:10.He was on his own and strutted right into the decs and down he went.Weight at 17 lbs with 4 1/2" beard.
Changed spots and at 8:10 am 5 jakes came into my decs.Bro was videoing my hunt but the bird I wanted would'nt put his head up so the shot was missed in the video.Weight at 15 lbs with 3 1/2" beard.
Not big birds but still opening day joy with my brother.This is 2 yrs running for me getting a bird on opening day.
Me on the left in the lighter coloured cammo with a winchester 1200 and bro with a mossy 500.

So, do wild turkeys taste any different than what one would buy at the grocery store?

I think the bird on the right is a young tom not a jake?

 

[Waterfowler]

I think it is a jake.

What were the spur lengths?

 

[Onagoth]

Nice !

 

[88 man]

No spurs on either bird

 

[CROWCA]

I call any bird that has survived 2 winters a tom,a Jake would be a bird that is shot after his first winter.
The tail on the right bird has grown in and does not have the center tail feathers which are longer on a Jake. My2c
