Not big into turkey hunting but managed to get my first yesterday. Something I noticed while cleaning it was, the wings have no baring like I’m used to seeing. Any in sight? Sent from my iPhone using Michigan Sportsman mobile app
Domestic. Hunting in a barn yard? Just messing with ya. I don't know unless maybe some type of hybrid or cross breed. Either way congrats on the bird.
Not a barn yard bird but I was wondering if it wasn’t crossed. Another thing I was wondering about is that it had a 6 3/8 beard but the spurs were only 3/8 Sent from my iPhone using Michigan Sportsman mobile app
Almost looks like could be part black melanistic coloring . I have shot a few in Southern Michigan like that with almost all black primaries like that but the rest was normal so not full melanistic coloring which woild be mostly black all over .
Yup thats a black melanistic color phase wild turkey. One of the rarest birds out there ! Congrats quite the trophy there !
Thanks. If I woulda known that I would got it mounted. Too late now Sent from my iPhone using Michigan Sportsman mobile app
Cool bird. I saw a Tom a few weeks ago with all white wings. Was all woods for miles so not a farm bird.
