Smoke-phased turkeys w/ pics

[Timmer]

We had a couple of unique visitors to our back field this afternoon.  I have never seen smoke-phased turkeys.  From behind they looked more white but from the side they looked more gray.  They are pretty cool!  I travel to hunt due to years of tradition but do let my kids hunt on our property.  Give these guys a couple of years and maybe one of my boys will have a trophy!

Great pictures, hope they make it for the kids. Had 2 hens running around my neck of the woods for a few years, watched a fox tree 1 one day,  haven't seen them in years.

I called in a smoke phase gobbler a few years ago. I didn't shoot it because it had almost no beard so at first I though it was a hen. After observing it for a little while I realized it was a gobbler probably with severe beard rot.  I was just so frozen by the sight (i tried to take a few pictures) I let him walk off. Never saw him again but it made for a very memorable and enjoyable morning.

Cool birds and nice pics.

I think the smoke phase is the best looking of all the different color phases of the wild turkey.

An obligatory full mount IMHO.
