Turkey Hunting Grand Slam:
In order to complete your Turkey Hunting Slam, you'll need to
bag all 4 of the US Turkey species: Osceola, Eastern, Rio
Grande and Merriam Turkey. After you get those 4, you can
also get the Gould's Turkey native to Mexico. In North
Carolina,
you can hunt the Eastern Wild Turkey.
The
Eastern Wild Turkey is found in eastern states including
North Carolina. The Eastern Turkey has chestnut brown-tipped tail
coverts (smaller feathers which cover up larger ones) and
dark-buff or chocolate-brown tail tips characterize the most
abundant and most widely hunted turkey, the Eastern Wild Turkey.
The tom turkey’s breast feathers are tipped in black, while
other body feathers are colored with copper or bronze metallic
iridescence. The primary wing feathers have white and black bars
that extend to the feather shaft, while the secondary wing
feathers mainly have prominent white bars. This results in a
white triangular area on each side of the back when the wings
are folded backward. Hens are browner with less brilliant
iridescence and the breast feathers are tipped in buff or
chestnut. The Eastern Turkey can weigh from 8 to 25 pounds and
grow as tall as four feet!
