Mountain Merriam Down

I absolutely love spring turkey hunting!  I love scouting for them as well as hunting them.  I love to hunt the mountain country for Merriams turkeys, it is just like hunting elk.  There is so much strategy that goes into a successful hunt.  They always seem to humble me no matter how much I hunt them.  I was fortunate to get this nice bird.  Enjoy the pics!

Found some great sign while scouting
Turkey droppings can be a very good sign
 Saw these three gobblers while scouting
Their were some awesome windmills that were not operating and just laying on the ground
These three deer were like statues and never moved while their photo was taken
Roosted these two strutters the first evening and was able to get these great photos
Bird down!!  He is a 2 1/2 year old bird that had a nice tail fan but had fairly short spurs which usually indicates a young bird.  I used the new Primos Bi Pod and loved it!!
I used my box and slate calls that were given to me by my late friend Mr. Marvin Robbins of Timberline Calls
