My buddy has been hunting this tom on his farm for 3 years back home in PA. He has cool white wings. Anyone ever seen this? 1589819479906_2044216660_71c7191c.jpg1589819479897_2043844123_71c7191c.jpg1589819470030_6205303005_71c7191c.jpg
 
That's a cool bird! I have heard of them referred to as "smoke" color phase turkeys. I do not know how common they are, but I was able to shoot one in Ohio a couple years ago. Mine was not as light as the one in your picture; in fact I didn't realize anything was different until I picked him up to leave the woods. His wing and fan feathers had little to no barring. Sorry for the poor pictures. I really wish I had a good one from the field. Alas, I'm always so wrapped up in what I'm doing when I hunt and fish, I usually don't remember to take pictures. One of these days, I need to mount the fan.

My son and I have seen a hen 2X near our property that has even a bit more white on it than that Tom. Almost looks like a domestic. Hope your pard gets that one, would make for a cool mount.

Very crappy (crappiest of crappy) cell phone pics of the white turkey. It's just to the right of the white cow that is near center frame.
