## Caption

Glace Rone of Kosciusko, Mississippi, tagged a once-in-a-lifetime white wild turkey on March 15, the opening day of the spring turkey season.⁠
⁠
The gobbler first showed up on Rone’s trail cameras during the 2024-25 deer season. But Rone wasn’t the only one tracking the unusual bird. The tom’s striking white feathers made it easy to identify, and it had made several appearances on surrounding properties. On opening morning, Rone calling and rustled the leaves around him to see if he could attract the attention of any toms in the area. Three minutes later, he spotted the white turkey about 50 yards away making a beeline for him. After harvesting the tom, a biologist confirmed it to be a leucistic wild bird.⁠
