Check it out! I was blessed with a great opening morning, I killed this longbeard at 9:15 this morning. He had a 10" beard, 36 mm (1 3/8") & 35 mm spurs and weighed 21 lbs. The really cool thing though is he has jet black wings with no barring. He also has a dark overall color and some neat fan banding. I killed a bird on the same property in 2009 that had 5 black feathers which were mirrored on each wing so I guess it's just a weird genetic trait with this particular flock. I checked him in at a buddy of mines taxidermy shop and the guys there said they had never seen a bird colored up like this (and neither have I). How about you guys? Anybody out there ever see this kind of coloration on a turkey before? Never seen a Wild Turkey such as the one you harvested. BEAUTIFUL TOM!! Congratuations!! What County did you bag him in? Warrick Co. |
