Dream Trip

[joey46]

After two years of covid reschedules finally said "go for it" and jumped in with both feet.  Airlines, rental cars, motels etc etc. Spent the first week of May chasing the Merriams and wasn't disappointed.  Results pictured.  BTW - flying in and out of Tampa and Denver had zero problems with TSA and my firearm.  All of these forums seem to make a big deal out of this and again, for me, it has never been a problem.  Ammo was in the gun case.  Again no problem. 
Bumped into many turkey hunters on the trip.  Another secret out so I'm not even mentioning the state involved although I was close to three that were available to hunt.  Good luck to all.  My bucket list just got a check mark.

Congrats a great trip, glad it worked out for you and you finally got to make it! They're beautiful birds and I think they're one of my favorites to hunt just because they're so different in every way than what I've grown up hunting down here.

Did he put on a show for you and did the funky jake make the trip?

Funky stayed home and is still pouting about it.  I had to pack light so no decoys, no chair, no camo netting.  Strictly a run and gun solo hunt.  A mouthy hen was behind me and simply mimicking her brought the deceased and two others down a small hill.  Lots of strutting but no gobbles.  They had hens in view so no surprise.
