I thought I would respond to your swap post. I have pretty good merriams hunting above my house but it is a pretty brutal hike to get to them. I even backpacked in last year. I also hunt a wide array of big game from antelope to bighorn to moose to elk to bear in Colo, Wyo, and Alaska. Where in Missouri are you located? I've gotten lots of rios and merriams but would like a chance at easterns sometime.
