I had forgotten that from prior post I think Rut and I were in basically the same general area in early May 2022. For anyone planning a Merriam safari if you find Belle Fourche SD on a map and draw a 100 mile circle around it you should find these heavily white tipped birds. This will include areas in the states of SD, WY, and MT.  I was on a one and done WY hunt and after tagging out had plenty of time to drive around and glass.  No doubt these are pure Merriam with no hint of hybridization.  I'm using mine as my forum avatar. I hope for a return trip. That is one of the best taxidermy jobs I've seen Rut.  Congrats again.

Correct Joey! We were hunting in the same general area. Loaded with Merriams turkeys.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.
