My son Isaac killed a cool Merriam's here in Montana yesterday evening that strutted in behind a hen that liked my yelping more than the tom did. In MT you can hunt until 30 min after sunset. I've never seen a turkey still on the ground that late, but we did call these in yelping, gobbling, and strutting just before sunset. By the time we realized we needed to get some photos, I needed a flash to get rid of the blur.
I hope you can recognize what makes this bird unique
Cool bird, congrats! I get birds in my area with a feather or two on each wing like that, never the whole wing though.
really nice! :icon_thumright:
Very neat
That's cool
Congrats too
Cool bird congrats! Did he talk you into a full strut mount yet?
Strutting mount were some of the first words out of my mouth, so there was no need to talk me into it

Neat. A friend of mine shot an Eastern with wing feathers like that a couple of years ago. Congrats to your boy.
Congrats to both of you!! That'll make a cool mount!

:you_rock: awesome bird good job
Fantastic bird Isaac!
Kid better get a decent job to pay his taxidermy bills. You've taught him well - he seems to be turning into a great young man.
Nice!
Must be one of them ninja birds, all dressed in black. That's rare for sure. Great job Isaac!
That's a cool bird. I bet Black Wing and White tail color really look good in a Mount.
Oh that will be a pretty mount for sure! nice trophy for your boy
Very cool. Congrats!
That is a very cool bird!! :drool: Glad you are mounting it for him! Congrats to both of you!! :icon_thumright:
