I've heard the answer to that, but I have forgotten. A Jake will have the amber too. Maybe AU Coonhunter will chime in.

I talked with a guy from MO and he told me it didn't work with their turkeys due to beards freezing in cold weather. I've never examined an AL turkey where it didn't seem to work.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
