I believe the Merriam's are the most beautiful birds out there.  I love the Easterns and the Rios were great, but man oh man... those Merriams really get my blood flowing!

Nice bird man!

Great looking mount. I really like the snow in the habitat. I am having my 08' Eastern mounted in full strut and he should be back by spring of 10'. Do you have a good story to go along with such a good looking gobbler. Thanks for sharing, Mike

they aint much of a story with this turkey, we went up a long winding road to the top of a hill and got out and walked about 500 yards struck a gobble with a Darin Dawkins butternut and walnut boxat 3:00 pm and finished him off with a dominator glass about 3:20 he came in over a rise and it was a done deal.

Stumpy,
That is a great mount!!  I think that the Merriam's are the prettiest of the spieces.
