2 weeks I'll be turkey hunting and the 3rd I'll be heading south to shoot some pigs.

It sounds like we might be a year behind your area as we have A LOT of jakes. I've never seen the ratio as high as it is this spring.
I filmed a young girl kill her first bird, a 19lb jake, on Saturday after missing birds the past two years. She was glad to get the monkey off her back!
Most of the birds are still grouped up pretty good here, but hens were already being bred. One more good year and we'll be back to a very healthy local population.
