Great work.  I was in New Mexico last week.  Temps never got over 35 where we were and it snowed every day we were there.  6"s first morning.  Located a bird on a mt side first morning and couldn't even see the mt due to the heavy snow falling.  We worked plenty of birds for three days.  But they were henned up bad.  Had some in shooting range multiple times but had no shots due to oak brush.  We finally connected twice the last day.

Hunted it hard two different sets of dates last year and had nothing to show for it, but the experience along with advice from gobblenut and his son Ryan prepared me for success this year.  Tough hunting for sure.  Hens seem to lead gobblers away from calling.  Toms won't gobble if they're with a hen.  Pressured birds will shy away from calling in general.  Wind will shut them down.  Steep mountains with lots of deadfall to navigate around.  The "easy" birds get killed or educated early on.  Really have to get off the beaten path to find a workable bird later in the season or have a honey hole that no one knows about or just get lucky.

NM was definitely a very tough hunt and I was very grateful to leave with a great bird.  Congrats to everyone who killed; those were hard earned birds!!

Wel done guys!

Those are flat out the biggest Spurs I've ever seen on a merriams...and the sharpest to boot! Great birds! Also a 10 3/4" beard is a flat out rope. Congrats on some great birds! And public land, national forest birds at that!


I have hunted the Wyoming birds for the last 10 years and we really don't see that many pearly white birds. Most have various shades of buff color. From cream to brown. Very much look like the birds you killed.... with exception of the size Hahahaha.

Again, great job!
