Killed an African Eastern!!!!!!!!!

Check out this birds colors. Fist one that i have seen like this. Killed it then called in a double bearded bird for my freind on the wma yesterday. Long story short we were checking mine out and talking to the game warden while the double beard gobbled his head off for 45 min while my friend finished talking to green jeans. Finally got him to come on and called the bird right in his lap..... his first double beard.

Absolutely! The name is Derived from the word African American and implies a distinctive dark or black tone of the skin or feathers.

I seriously doubt crossing cultural reference language for descriptives for a turkeys colorations would be anymore appropriate than a member posting a turkey with albino characteristics and calling it a cracker turkey. The mind, what a terrible thing to waste.

Melanistic characteristics would be the correct terminology. The only fowl errantly called a turkey from Africa would be the Guinea fowl.

http://www.wildturkeyzone.com/wildturkey/species.htm

""To compound the difficulties the English had with this immigrant fowl, at about the same time, the 1530s, Portuguese merchants reintroduced the guinea-fowl from West Africa, which had last been seen in England at the time of the Romans. As it was the same Levant merchants who brought this into the country, the guinea fowl was also known for a time as the "Turkey bird", though this confusion didn't last long. For example, the heraldic arms granted to William Strickland in 1550 featured "a turkey-bird in his pride proper" and the bird shown is quite definitely a proper turkey.""

Humor, What a terrible thing to be without!

Cool bird. The first bird I sver shot was more black than any other color. It was a jake. I shot it a couple of years ago and I still have the wings and the fan but did not get it mounted .

Yes, a Melanistic bird, second one I have seen killed this season.
Congrats!

wow i didnt mean to offend anyone. just meant that african natives are usually black. Just thought that it might be migratory.

who would spend so much time doing guinea reaserch to make a point......must be one of Obamas czars.
