I realize that I am late to the party, but in anticipation of next season, I'll put my two cents in... I have eaten many dozens of wild turkey over the years, and I have never been able to tell the difference between toms and jakes. They are all delicious, if prepared and cooked properly. To begin, do not allow them to sit with the entrails in for more than a half-hour. Do not expect to cook them like a store-bought bird-they will be dry. Instead, make turkey pot pie, or slice the breasts and fry them with your favorite coating. Deep frying the entire bird is OK, but they will be drier than a farm bird. Finally, don't expect to eat much of the drumstick--turkey do a lot of running and have a lot of sinew in the legs. My dogs love me for them (minus the bone).
