Apparently, the "pox" didn't hit as hard up there as it did down here. It nearly wiped the slate clean down here. I didn't start keeping a journal until I was about your age. It's still worth it! I’m far from being a turkey expert, but I’m pretty sure he’s just a Rio. According to everything I’ve ever read about turkeys in Oklahoma, the population is mostly made up of Rios with a few Easterns on the far east side of the state.
