He gobbled 2 times on the limb. Gobbled about 40 on the ground. I got to watch this turkey strut and gobble and he was hands down the most beautiful turkey I've ever went after. Luckily he gobbled so much. I wasn't set up close enough and his loud mouth got him in trouble. He's at the taxidermist now. First bird I've ever had mounted. My season is over, but I'll think about this turkey forever.
Congratulations! Photo hint, tie him up to that pump house or lay him on top next time so we can see the whole bird.

Beautiful bird bro, Congrats
Nice hunt and great gobbler. I'm a pa boy and still can remember my first merriam turkey. I look at him everyday.

Beautiful bird
Got my first merriam this year just last week
Them birds are pretty
Congrats on your first Merriam's. He's a beauty. Looks like NE or SD country?
I think I need to get me a Merriam :) congratulations on a beautiful bird
The Merriams have that darker iridescence in their breast feather that truly is an amazing sight for those of us that are in Eastern country. I think a New Mexico or Washington pure white tipped Merriam is about as pretty as a turkey gets.
Awesome!!!! I'm heading out next year for one.
Absolutely beautiful bird!
Added another photo, hope it gives y'all a better idea of how pretty he was. Thanks for all the kind words. He was beautiful. And yes I was in central Nebraska. Close to arnold if you're familiar with that area
Congrats on a beautiful bird and your right there's nothing prettier than a true merriam's I am so thankful that we have them here and I can hunt them every spring
Thats a pretty bird. Congrats!
Congrats....
I've not hunted that part of NE, but I have hunted the northeast corner in the ponderosa on multiple occasions.
Congrats again. That second photo is your best of those two :icon_thumright:
Congrats, that's a beauty.
Thanks again fellas. A good friend of mine took a beautiful bird as well. He's a photographer so I have lots of great photos. First time I've ever got good photos not from a crappy camera or a cell phone. (Even tho the phone pics are fine) appreciate all the comments. I'll make another post at some point with his bird as well. It was a great bird.
Beautiful bird!! Congrats!! :icon_thumright: Merriams are my favorite bird to hunt.
CONGRATS on a gorgeous snow tip !!!!!
Awesome pics and bird, Congrats.
Very nice bird. Congrats

Beautiful Bird. Definitely on my list. Congrats.
Best looking of all the subspecies in my book, congratulations. I will be going for Rio's in 2021 while visiting family in Oklahoma and would love to go after Merriam's after that.

I was up there 16th through the 20th hunting out in that area. Were ya'll in a dark blue or grey GMC or Chevy? Mossy Oak Game Keepers decal in the back window? If so I believe I saw ya'll. Congrats on the bird - Beautiful.
Congrats on your bird. Pretty white tips on that fan.
Congrats, beautiful bird! I can't wait till I get the chance to go after Merriams in a few years.
