Incredible.  Make sure you post up pics once the bird gets back from the taxidermist.   :icon_thumright:

There are 4 different color phases in the wild turkey. This one seems to be a erythritic, red, phase. Here is a link from the NWTF on each color phase.

Joe, the only erythritic  I saw was a Hen 2 years ago, that didn't look anything like this Bird. The Hen was reddish and when the sun caught the chest almost look like a golden shine to the chest, but no white. Is there white in a erythritic?

Thanks for all the comments guys!  The bird had a 9" Beard a 1 1/8" Spurs that were needle sharp.

Within each color phase there are subtle differences. Not all smoke phase hens are the same. Some have more white, some more black. Same thing with red or black phase. Some erythritic phases will have more red and less black and white and some more black and white and less red. I believe this one has more black and white with less red mixed in. This gobbler is awesome either way.
