I shot one by accident last year. Three big gobblers - trailed way behind by a jake - were out in a greenfield chasing a hen - a really big one in the lead. I hustled around and got in front of them and 30 minutes later the hen brought them right by me. I just had a hole in the brush to shoot through. The hen went by and I blew the head off the next turkey that appeared thinking it was the biggun’. When the smoke cleared I realized the jake had charged ahead of the older birds. Not a trophy but he fried-up real nice

No .....I'd rather pass simply because today's jakes with nubs are tomorrow's longbeards with good spurs. I love to hunt/shoot turkey with good hooks and a good beard. They can't get there shooting them as a jake so I pass them. That's just a personal choice for me though. To each their own...
