White New Mexico Gobbler!

Just wanted to share my most treasured trophy to date with you all.  My cousin Bret and I travel to New Mexico from Utah every spring to chase Merriams gobblers.  Last April we arrived and set up camp two days early.  Mid-morning the day before the season opened we saw three mature gobblers cross the road and to our surprise one was white.  I couldn't believe it.  I wanted that bird bad.  The night before the hunt Bret roosted at least six different gobblers while I turned up nothing.  He tried to talk me in to going with him opening morning but I decided to stay in the area where we had seen the white gobbler the day before.  Opening morning found me set up about 200 yards from a couple of gobblers and several hens.  After working them more a couple of hours I finally watched them cross a large meadow and head in the opposite direction.  I gathered up my gear and headed to the North.  After walking a half mile or so I struck two gobblers, one to the North of me and one off to the East.  I sat there patiently and decided the bird to my East seemed more interested.  I cut the distance to a couple hundred yards and began the sweet talk.  Five minutes later I about passed out when this white gobbler appeared gobbling all the way.  I let him work within 32 yards to my right shoulder and let him have it.  I was so excited I could hardly stand it.  I killed him about five miles from where we had seem him the day before.  Turkey hunting is my passion and this is truly my trophy of a lifetime.

Don't know how you walk, carrying enough horseshoes, and rabbit feet to be that lucky.

Awsome trophy.
