Called this bird into 10 yards, 1 shot with a 20 gauge a-5.
Was that the gobblers Sombrero on the wall? Congrats on the bird.
Nice. I like the white fan tips.

Nice bird. Those flying mounts takes up a lot of wall space, I learned the hard way.

thank you.I realized another Hunter had shot at this bird, when I got him back from the taxidermy shop.i took a head shot like I always do.sombody had grazed his tail feathers at some time I found out, so that was pretty neat.He was an old bird, and had a huge head

according to nwtf records Merriam spurs get up too 2.25 inches. beautiful bird nonetheless, wish I had 1 just like it.
Pretty bird, I love those white tips

Thanks for the details, I have only killed four Merriams and all have been shorter beards and spurs, some good weight. I am sure this is a regional thing, my birds came from SD & NE... WI resident.

. Thank you, the taxidermist did a great job, it was spendy, but it turned out well.
