Default RE: Who's the Turkey expert?

Sorry to disagree, but domestic turkeys can't survive in the wild. Domestic birds typically can't fly and lack the survival instincts of wild turkeys. It is widely accepted that these are color mutations of normal wild turkeys.

As I posted above, I have seen and called several white phase wild turkeys in my life, both gobblers and hens.One of the first ones I ever saw was a white gobbler with a large group of hens in south Mississippi near Hazelhurst. Another time a buddy and I called and videotaped a completely white hen hunting in a river bottom miles from the nearest house. I've seen white ones with the large flocks of turkeys in the winter here inTennessee.
