Me or none of my friends have ever seen a bird like this. Wondering what you guys think of him. Check out his black primaries and his tail fan has no black barring just black speckles. His fan also seems very light colored to me. Called him in this afternoon and laid the hammer on him at 30 yds with a 3-1/2" #5 Longbeard!!!
23lbs, 10-1/2" beard and 1-1/8" spurs.

Now that's neat congrats :icon_thumright:
Awesome bird, congrats! :icon_thumright:
That's awesome!!
Nice bird!
That's awesome, congrats on the unique bird! I've killed a few that had a single black primary on each side, but nothing like that one. I'd be getting that one mounted, or at least doing a cape mount including wings.
Congrats!
I think this is an Eastern/Buzzard hybrid HAHA. Congrats on an awesome bird
That is a cool bird. Never mounted one but I'd have to think real hard about that one. Congrats
Never seen one like that.
Congrats!!
Definitely a rare bird, that looks cool! Congrats!
Now how cool is that!? Great bird!!
I'd be calling the taxidermist for sure. Congrats ! :icon_thumright:
Sweet bird and a hoss to boot! Find room for him! Congrats!

thats sweet Id try and get some kind of mount going maybe even just a cape and wings
Thanks guys. I'm going to mount him myself. Probably mount him strutting to show his wings off. Plus that is the way I will always remember him before I pulled the trigger.

Straight to the taxidermist w that one.
Congrats! That is one unique bird!
Very cool!!
That is THE RAREST color phase of the easterns. You have a true trophy. Or maybe a turkey/buzzard cross? ;)
I'm thinking full strut mount!
:drool: that's a awesome looking bird! Congrats. He's gonna put some $$$ in the taxi's pocket!
That is definitely a trophy - once in a life time!
That is a special bird for sure......
It looks to have zero white barring in the primaries and no black barring in the tail feathers also -- cool looking gobbler
Cross between turkey vulture and eastern turkey !!! LOL kidding ;D awesome looking bird congrats!!!.
Very cool bird :icon_thumright:
that is pretty unique! Congrats! I've hunted a lot of easterns, and never seen coloration like that. That tail fan is cool too! Make a nice mount.
AWESOME!!! no bars on his tail fan either!! Way cool.
There is no question that he would be getting mounted and added to the trophy room! Super cool and unique, congrats!!
I think they call that "A crow in the woodpile syndrome" .For sure a beautiful bird.He deserves a full mount. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
