    Part tame and wild do you think? I've never seen a turkey look like that before.
    BTW... congrats to your cousin - is he gonna' get it mounted?

    Apparently it's called an erythritic color phase. If you google it there are photos just like this one.

    I haven't heard yet if he's getting it mounted yet.

    If he don't want to mount it, tell him to freeze it and send it my way! I'll even pay S&H! :tu:

    Sounds like he's going to do a mount kinda like this one.
