Took my uncle out for his first merriam hunt yesterday. He is from the motherland (South Florida) and never chased them out this far west. Birds flew down off the roost within 30 yards and we let them jack around for a few minutes then he let the hammer drop on on gobbler and the other couldn't run away fast enough. I am a firm believer in that if you have the tags...leave no witnesses. My uncle was a veteran of an infantry unit during the Vietnam War and had just conquered a recent battle with cancer resulting from that time period. Him and my father taught me everything I know about turkey hunting and both can lay down an Osceola at will. They just seem to have that knack to do it. After all the years of advice and lessons he's passed on to me, it was the least I could do to give him a very memorable hunt in being our first double together.

Well done.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
