Thanks a lot for taking the time to post a picture. I have seen quite a few other wild turkeys taken with similar characteristics that fit what is typically referred to as "Color Phase" or "Smoke Phase" traits so my guess would be it similar to the others was just a wild bird that experienced these traits. This is a very beautiful representation with the pairing of the white and black feathers meshing so well. You are a lucky man what I would give to get a trophy as cool as that.
Nice buck Jamie. I’ve got alot of respect for you guys that get it done with traditional equipment. How far was the shot? What’s the range that you limit your shots to?
Slowly settling into the new place. My dad had a belt sander mounted on a stand under this window. Looked like a good spot for a beer fridge to me. It will also be Remi's resting spot. He'd have liked it down here.
They all ready have but that just means new mounts if I am lucky enough. I should say they are not fading fast however, those have been there for 18 years +++
