thanks jason, it is beautiful.  bow is a chek-mate hunter I, 60# @28.  arrow is a gold tip 35-55 30" with a 50gr insert and 125 grain magnus 2 blade.  no 'planned' blind setup, just jumped in a bunch of bushes!

Pretty sweet. I've never seen a turkey with white tipped tail feathers. Ours are a light brown.

I PM'd my address to you. Thank you very much!

interesting.  i've only killed 4 turkeys here in nm, but all were similar in color to this one, even the one young jake.  this is not a rio grande turkey either (at least i don't think it is).  curiously though, this one had vary white/pink breast meat.  the others i have gotten had darker breast meat.  This was my first time hunting in this area of nm at about 9000' elevation above sea level.  i was fortunate enough to see quite a few elk also.  one heard of about 50 cows and calves crippled my first attempt at sun up on a young bird.  two hours later i found this one in a field.  lucky me!!!
