If
you manage to take all four of the above species, you have hit
the “Grand Slam” of Turkey hunting. Then you need to add to
your collection the Gould Turkey native to Mexico. The
Gould’s Wild turkey lives and thrives in the northern and
central parts of Mexico. Gould's is the largest of the 5 turkey
species and they differ by having distinctive white tips on the
tail feathers and tail rump coverts which usually separate to
show an "eyelash" appearance. Lower back and rump feathers have
copper and greenish-golden reflections, not like the faintly
iridescent velvety black found on the Merriam's. Gould's body
plumage is said to be somewhat blue-green in coloration. Adult
females have a less pronounced metallic greenish and reddish
sheen and are more purplish.
