Finally killing some Merriam

My first ever. Sombody must have sent a shot thru his fan at some point. And my buddy got one yesterday. His first also.

They gobbling pretty good but not coming to calls worth nothing. Pretty much spot and stalk hunts. Gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

Man, that spot looks familiar. Good luck and safe travels

Atta boy David! Y'all pile em up!

Thanks y'all to. This is a new spot from last year. We did alot of map time and found areas not burnt. Alot more trees have fell now.

We were there early in May last year and had the same trouble. They were henned up big time. We will be there later this year. The last time I went later in May the birds worked to calls better.

Congrats on yalls birds

It all looks the same on the ridge. I haven't been up there in a few years, but it is about time to make another trip. I love those hills.

Where y'all at?

Dr. B

We are in Chadron/pine ridge NF. I set up 50 yards from 1 yesterday gobbling at every call. Dang turkey dropped out rite behind a fallen tree. Gobbled twice and vanished. Been alot of stories close to that between us 4 this trip. I was about ready to limb one. Lol finally saw this 1 strutting. Watched where he went in woods and ran to next opening. Luckily he walked rite out like skrippted.

Congrats

That is a very familiar storyline. Pretty much the same thing we've experienced. I did have two Longbeards yesterday morning wanting to come to us but their boss man was across the gulley and above us. Everytime they started down the hill to us the boss man would march down the hill right behind us and gobble and the other two would shy back up into the corn field. That's the only birds that even thought about responding to a call so far.

Congrats!

Congrats, those sure are some pretty birds

Congrats!

Congrats!!

Pretty bird. Congrats. Yall hearing a lot of gobbling there?

I would east side of 385.

Good deal! Your buddy's bird is missin some of his forehead...

Congrats !

Congrats

Yeah we are east

Towards the cliffs

Nice...

Yep. You up here hootn? Our first spots have crowded up so we moved on back. Do you know if it's ok to come in the back side thru the pastures that lead into the land? Would save alot of steps.

Just do it and play dumb.

I was looking for the like button foldemup.

No I'm not up there. PM you.

yeah after he shot it, he got to it and it started running down the hill so he polaxed it at about 10 yards.
