Truthfully, an argument can be made for either case. It's a 50/50 gamble. You might shoot the one that was going to survive, but you might shoot the one that was going to become a coyote's meal. You just don't know. A lot of people use your logic to avoid shooting them. All the reading I've done suggests shooting jakes has little to no impact on future numbers of gobblers. I think the state of Mississippi protects jakes. Has their turkey hunting surpassed ours?
If you have 2 jakes in front of you, our best estimates tell us that 1 will live and 1 will die before next season. You decide, that's all I'm saying.
