This was seen today, in Central Ohio. Never seen one myself, but this is a nice looking bird. Looks to have a 7" or so beard.
Hard to tell but looks like a Bourbon Red (domestic) that got loose.
Looks cool!
Matchbook454, Thanks!
Don't know, but I'm sure it was exciting to see.

He should gobble a lot and weigh 35lbs then ;D
This does not look like a bourbon red but could be a crossbreed bourbon/ eastern. Or it may well be an all wild eastern with odd colors.
Beautiful bird! I could only dream of a wild gobbler like that coming into my call. Imagine the surprise if you didn't know about him and then he just came strutting in with those colors.
