I have heard rumor that the white strand of turkey have migrated from Canada. I am not 100% sure on this but, a field I use to hunt had 5 or 6 different white birds in it. I asked the owner of the property and that is the story I got.

I would most definetely shoot one!!!!


Thanks for the chuckle. But in the mid 1980's Ontario and the rest of Canada was listed has having no wild turkeys. Ontario traded some different spieces of wild animals to get some wild turkeys to try and bring them back to their natural habitat in Ontario. It was a sucess.

Actually there is a known fact that wild turkeys do sometimes come "PIE-BLAD", or a white strain, just like you can get moose, deer ect the same way. It is not necessary that it was crossed with a domestic bird to get that way.
