White tipped eastern.

Buddy put a nice shot on this gobbler that's been giving us the slip the last 2 years. His first bird!

I can't recall seeing tips like this on an eastern? He could pass as a Rio! Anyone else?

Yeah the thing that amazed me is the secondary feathers tips. They are not even really copper and have white tips also?

See difference?

Beautiful bird, congrats! The secondary tips stand out to me more than anything.

I also killed this one in Rutherford co. I can't find the original kill pic though...it was the first tail fan mount I made and I didn't keep enough of the inner tail feathers but they were the same color on the tips as well.

Cool and interesting that tree ghost killed his in the same county.
I was more curious if it was a TN bird or somewhere else where Rios and Easterns can overlap.

Beautiful bird, really dark wing primaries as well, almost like an Osceola

This is what I noticed. I've seen a handful like that over the years. The two I've witnessed dead both weighed 26-27 pounds too.
