The WMA I hunt...the western boundary of that line runs thru the middle of it. So if a turkey is on one side of the road in Dixie county, he is an Osceola. If he flies across the road, he is now an Eastern.

Seriously, I've hunted that area my entire life and all the birds I've killed look pretty much Osceola. But, now I am in a lease just 10 miles up the road. The appearance of the birds is VERY different. A lot more characteristics of an Eastern. I would call them a hybrid, though. They still don't look like an Eastern killed in GA

That line means alot to the guys who pay big money to come down and shoot an Osceola. It doesnt mean much to us weekend wariors,but to the guy trying to get his slam that line is important.

That is true no doubt. I don't care if it is a hybrid of not I just like seeing them flop.
