Title: Non-Contest Kill
Post by: jblackburn on April 21, 2014, 02:06:56 AM
Doesn't outscore my first one, but I took a nice 2 year old in Idaho the afternoon of the 20th.  Full story in the General Forum, but I wanted to share with fellow headhunters!

Yeah, the crazy thing is I am pretty sure that this bird is a Rio by the way it acted, sounded, and looks.  ID transplanted a few, but really focused on Merriams.  According to ID and the NWTF, it is a Merriams, so that's what it is!
