good deal petey, nice bird. haven't done much here yet, called one up for a newb spring hunter the first sat. haven't found another gobbleing turkey yet.
I did have an awesome experience on sunday, took this pic at less than 5 yards, its I'm sure is an albino hen, thats blind or nearly so, she let me walk up in plain sight, till she heard the grass rustleing from my boots, she went on the alert, 2 very low soft yelps calmed her down, I took my pic and walked away with her still feeding.


she came out from a very large deep hollow following a normal colored turkey. The 2 main reasons I think she's wild are the pink feet, and the fact that she's too small to be an adult domestic hen, she also shows all the traits of a nesting wild turkey, she appeared recently from out of nowhere, she makes the same feeding circle every morning, I saw her 3 days out of 5 (wasn't there the other 2) in the same place at the same time.
