The Singing Bowyer:
Nice pics, Mike. I gotta chase a few Merriams one of these days....  I have been having a rough time with a couple of Rios this past week!

TRACY:
Awesome harvest! I think it's fantastic that you include your sons and gave Ty the 1st opportunity at the birds. You're a real sportsman. I don't know how you can keep a straight face after that experience, great job.

I have never hunted Eastern turkeys... but will someday.. I hope to get the grand slam with flint points. I have the merriams and Rio grand so far. I would guess that our birds are not quite as hunted as the eastern variety. we have fewer hunters throughout the whole state than most eastern states have in one county, and those counties are the size of some of the farms and ranches we hunt alone. I am a novice turkey hunter and have only harvested five birds in as many years..all were hunted by spot and stalk so i do not claim to be an expert on the ways of the wild warriors but sure do enjoy the hunt...Hawk a/ho

huntertrapper:
i dont know if it would be possible to stalk these birds here. they are keen and they hear anything. maybe in a field or a clear cut. but i look forward to hunting the merriams when i get out there in a couple years. ;D ;D ;D

hawkbow:
These turkeys are hard to stalk also, for every successful stalk there are ten that bust me. the last one took about an hour of belly crawling through thick brush to get the shot...Hawk a/ho
