boss gobbler?

[utfan1]

couple weeks back while deer hunting i got surrounded by a large flock of turkeys. gobblers,hens , and jakes. the gobblers were being pushed around by a boss bird. not uncommon ,however the boss had a mohawk. black feather/hair on his head maybe 1.5 to 2" tall and as wide and long as his head.
has anyone ever saw a gobbler like this?

Might have been injured and the feathers were growing the wrong way ?

This was my first year to hunt in Bama and I killed one that was growing a pretty nice mullet...
