Head west young man

I'd take Rapscallions word for the fact that they look like his originals.

Merriams it is!

We have killed plenty of true merriams in the pine ridge area in north west Nebraska and it is about 50/50 with the super white fans vs the more buff colored ones. Coloration doesnt mean much. Sounds like a fun trip. Takes some getting used to that high pitch drawn out gobbling (compared to easterns). You keep thinking they kinda sound like jakes until a tom comes in.

Yeah man the first one I heard I wasn't even sure it was a gobble.
