Was fortunate to finally get a nice bird this morning, and upon inspection he has solid black wing feathers mixed in with the normal striped ones.  Anybody else seen one like this before?  He was 20lbs 7oz, 9.5" beard, and 1.25" spurs.

I've killed one in my lifetime that had one solid black feather on each wing.    Cool
looking bird, congrats!

yes killed one like that a few years ago...and didn't start paying attention to it until I was cleaning him. I caped and kept his wings for a fan and wing mount but if I had to do it over again and been paying attention I would have mounted him.

I'm all about character so you hit the Turkey lottery in my opinion.  At least preserve the wings for display. I've taken a pile but never one like that.

Cool thanks guys, I saved the wings and fan and am going to make a display with them.  I didn't notice the feathers either until he was in the back of the truck.  Maybe he's 1/2 Osceola ... :toothy12:
