Smoke Phase Gobbler

[sixbird]

I saw one smoke phase hen lots of years ago and a friend killed a smoke phase hen maybe 10 years ago during our fall season...

I saw two silver/gray toms on a lease near Lumpkin,Ga in the fall one day while scouting. I looked hard in the spring for them but figured they wouldn't make it for long before something would get them.

Great Post
Is a smoke phase the same as a silver?
eorlando that Osceola is awesome!

Thanks!!!  From what I have heard they are one in the same. Just different names from different folks.

never seen a smoke gobbler, but I have some neat footage of a smokey hen from a couple years ago on a Washington turkey hunt.

I've seen one dead smoke phased gobbler and one alive. The National Forest where I live is full of smoke phased hens. If you see a large flock (10 or more) more than likely you'll see a smoke phased hen. I've seen as many as 3 or 4 in one flock.
