Have saw some taxidermy pics pretty close to that on the net but never in real life, alive or mounted, pretty cool.

There is a white gobbler in the city limits about an hour from the house.  He is with 4 other regular gobblers and stands out like a sore thumb.

I have saw several white/smoke phase hens but never a tom.

I had a white hen this year that showed up on my deer camera.

My first turkey I ever shot was a smoke phase Osceola with an 8" beard.

I've seen one smokey hen, would love to find a gobbler like that.

Here is the one I shot 6 years ago.  John Beard from TN  mounted the bird for me and actually took second in the masters division at the NWTF taxidermy competition that year.  It was the first turkey I had ever shot.  I actually thought I had shot a domestic turkey at first. Little did I know it would be a once in a lifetime bird!
