Post by redarrow »

Center feathers a diff. color than the rest of the feathers. It also kinda torn up. Either from flopping around or maybe fighting.

See that pretty regular around here. Looks like wing bars in the tail feathers. Pretty neat. And it seems like it's always the center feathers.

I killed a nice gobbler a few years ago that had a bit of barring on his tail feathers that looked pretty cool.
