That is a unique one zobo. These days I'd say I've about seen it all when it comes to weird birds as so many are killed from year to year. Can't say I've seen a white winged one though. Definitely one of the cooler ones

Skunked day 1 in western PA. Had rain most of the morning and storms the last few days. Heard nothing with a mile of me. When I scouted Tuesday morning, had 3 birds located.

First time losing a turkey this morning - point/aim at base of neck and see a boil of feathers and turkey flop off the path - track feathers for ~ 20-30 yds and then nothing - it ran into a big swampy blowdown area - took my dog through the area and he could only find the feathers🤢🤢

Thought shot was 30ish yds and it was more like 50 - explains the boil of feathers - what I get for running and gunning

Got one this morning, not an upgrade 7/8"spurs and about 18lbs.  I heard him drumming, dead still woods, silent, no gobbling.

Thanks, was ready to go out this morning but unfortunately my back is acting up too much. So I'll try again for tomorrow morning. I've located a small bachelor group of sizable Toms, hopefully I can get one fired up or at least curious.  :blob10:

Heading to WY Friday and just changed the location where I'm hunting.

Will see how busy the place is and if VRBO indicates anything, it'll be busy.
