Jake. Look at the upper covert feathers of his wing. Gobblers are twice that long. Looks like he will have a rope next year.

Sorry, it is the biologist in me lol. You can tell yearling hens from older hens the same way.

Beard rot. Please let us know. I thought his head was right on for a gobbler. It was the first thing I looked at after the beard.


Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Can't tell from the pic but my experience with beard rot (and of course you know this) is the tip is brown/rust in color. If you could enlarge the pic maybe you could tell. I think it' a jake. I'm looking close at a jake on one of my cams and he's an identical twin of the one you posted.

I say gobbler. Head and body are too large and his beard seems too thick to be jake.

I think you can trust AU Coonhunter on stuff like this. I have a hard time being sure by looking at feathers, but I think he's got it down.

I joined a club in GA about 10 yrs ago without even seeing it. Finally went over there last week in April and heard one turkey gobble, and he flew down across the property line. I spent the rest of the day looking around and that was literally the only turkey on the place.

I went back into the area he roosted in mid afternoon and started calling, and the gobbler came up and made a wide circle around me, staying about 50 yards out. He looked exactly like the turkey in your pic, with a short, thick beard that looked like beard rot, but his color was just like a longbeard. I kept telling him to stop and give me a good look at him, or I was gonna ground check him. He never did and was moving away from me, so I let the tss check him for me - Jake. Oh well. He was a $400 turkey.
