Would you shoot this?

It looks to me that this is a domestic turkey . They usually have thicker/shorter legs than a wild turkey and the spurs grow wider and thicker but not as long as a wild turkey . The head also looks like a farm-raised turkey , not like the head on a color-phase wild turkey . If this is true then there probably isn't much chance that the local wild turkeys would breed with him . No matter the case , he'll be tasty on the table !!

Bob you brought something up that the farmer that has the two domestic ones mentioned.  They were "shunned" the first couple of years, but now the hen is the boss hen.  There are several white birds across the flock now.  The farmer just doesn't want them shot and it's such a great farm, I'm not going against his wishes.

The male bird I haven't seen for a couple of years... so I'm assuming he was table fair for something!

I would shoot it.......even if it tasted like chicken!

That sucker would be coming out over my shoulder (white feathers and all)

It's a Royal Palm. LOL! Reminds me of a fellow (who will remain anonymous  ) who played a rather rude joke on a friend . This gentleman bought a Royal Palm from a farmer, took the turkey and painted the toe nails pink, and let it go on some property his friend hunted. First thing opening day, the friend shot the gobbler, and was so excited he actually took it to a checking station. Yep, you guessed it, the owner of the checking station took one look at the pink toe nails and busted out laughing....and took some pictures!!!
