This is Leland White. He's like an adopted younger brother
that you don't tell people about. And though he's an experienced
big game hunter, he's fairly new to turkey hunting. He has killed
several gobblers, but for one reason or another never called
one in to the gun by himself. That is, until this year. Using
one of my box calls Leland had two JAKEs come in silently about
three minutes after yelping on the long box. Having not much
time available for hunting this year he went ahead and took
this handsome Merriam's JAKE. Later, he actually called and
killed a second JAKE near the end of the season, but was so
embarrased that he wouldn't give me a picture of it. The good
news is that he left several JAKEs for seed and if Leland stays
out of the woods, they'll be long beards next year. You can
bet he'll be putting the box to them next spring.
