« on: April 28, 2013, 02:32:29 PM »
Tom usually comes to the Lodge every spring, but this year he went to southern Mexico after an Ocellated turkey to complete his NWTF World Slam. Wow. What an awesome bird.. This is Toms 60th turkey!!! He is getting a full mount.. Check out these pics..

Wow....   look at the spurs on that dude.....

And, is it just me or does it look like  a peacock snuck into the family tree somewhere?    Those colors are indescribably beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.
