Hunted hard for 7 days but my brother George and I finally connected. Gobblers were not in the mood for the first 6 days. We watched 21 Jakes feeding in a meadow Friday morning.
Did not use a Parker this trip. Rough country.

The Merriam's are certainly beautiful birds. We will hunt N Mexico next. Season opened yesterday and runs until May 15. Taking a break and catching up on the home front.
Much better to enjoy the hunt after the fact if you shoot a bird at the end of the season, but I always stress every morning trying to get our birds.
One taken with a Savage single barrel 20 shooting #9 TSS the other shot with a Benelli M1 12 gauge 7&9 TSS.
