Sweet!!!
He'll look like a giant snowball when he's struttin :biglaugh:
Are albino turkeys protected???
Hmmm... what's that Bob Marley tune about sheriffs?
Kinda weird that his beard is black.
BONUS!
I feel vindicated Kenny!!! I thought I was seeing things when I saw him last year. Glad someone got a photo of him, and that he made it through the winter!

That's wild.
The spirit turkey.....

That is really cool!!!!

That's awesome! You might need to paint some of your decoys white in order to get him to come in.
Is that an albino, or is it a domestic turkey that got loose and reverted to the wild? Whichever it is, it is very cool.
Doesn't have the much bigger breast of a domestic turkey.
The black beard is interesting. Grecian Formula?
Cool ! Not sure where in Missouri that was taken , but I know in the early 90's on a ranch between Mansfield and Ava , there were several flocks that either were mostly white or piebald . None were albino. But their behavior was the exact same as the traditionally dark Eastern birds. Never did a get a shot at one.
Thats awesome! I am no biologist, but would imagine the beard would remain dark regardless of the pigmentation anomaly. It isn't like a humans beard and grows much like a toenail from what I understand..
I have seen a few hens that were "piebald" but nothing like that! very cool and thank you for sharing! That is no farm bird for the skeptics!
Season is in for us in SC and they are giving me a fit.. Basically they open the season too early in the upper part of the state (which was passed to change next year), and they are henned up. They gobble on the roost and shut up on the ground, then stay in the thick pines throughout the morning with no pattern just courting hens.
Hope you kill him. That's awesome!
Full body mount would be mandated!!! :coffee: :thumbsup: :archer2: :campfire:
I saw another one several years ago 25 miles north, also had a black beard. Must be standard equipment. I'm very sure this is a wild one , and I emailed the MDC to see if they are legal, if I ever call him in I'll decide then if I'll shoot.
We have had the smoky birds also , all hens that I've seen, and I have seen an albino hen once a long time back.
A rarity....thank you shaing
Cool!!!...like that doe I posted a couple weeks back.
MDC says albino turkey are legal in both spring and fall seasons . I'd have to decide when he showed up tho.
Back in the 70's MDC swore there were no albino or white turkeys. Guess they can be wrong.
I couldn't find it anywhere on their site so I emailed them and got
There wasn't any lions for a long time either ... lol
That's cool Kenny. My lil bro had 4 all white Jake's in a flock behind his house last year. They all had short all black bristly tufts on their chest.
I will shoot one given the opportunity. Feathers are easier to dye and they look the same when going in the oven after you take their clothes off.
As far as the mountain lion debate, they did the same in NY too. Claimed they were all Bob cats even disputed trail camera photos at first. Then when they couldn't uphold that lie any longer due to substantial evidence, their new story was " young male from the Dakotas" looking for love.
Not sure about cats but I know teenage boys go to the females, not 2,000 miles away from them.
Not sure what story they came out with after a female was hit and killed by a car.
