    Most people who have hunted turkeys a lot are aware of all those things, but when it is broken down like that, I think it makes people go back and remember some things they may have taken for granted during previous hunts. That was well done.

    So I’ve been an avid turkey hunter most of my life and this info is interesting. But I have personally seen them change head colors coming through the woods and not be nervous at all. The snood is and body poster is what I’ve always watched. Just from what I’ve experienced

    It's pretty awesome what you're able to do with your art. Being able to do it based on experience and not just looking at a picture or watching a video makes it even better.

    Solid white head and waddles is the hottest a Turkey gets. I have seen them like this here in Georgia over the years and when they go solid White you can do no wrong with your calling.

    What about when his head is pure white? Had 3 come in together gobbling on their own and they were all white

    I'd imagine all three of them were super hot and playing off of each other, which is why they were even gobbling on their own. Those birds are a gift from Heaven 😆

    Is it true that when a tom is about the breed or is breeding most of his head will be white?

    Yes, and when they're ready to fight. Any time he's fired up that crown will be white
