Nice...A pair from Texas and a pair from CA on my cam's! I'm chasing a couple now that are close...

 

[Mudranger1]

haven't got any real ones ....yet

Wow, those are some awsome hooks! It seems that everybody gets excited about beard length. To me, the spurs are the real measure of the man.

Called my first one in today. Just had one of those boxes and started making hen sounds. He came 200 yards across an open field. I can see how this could be additictive. They were making all kinds of racket today.

Looks like the last one, you shot in the foot?

One of my longbeards from South Dakota last year.Decent spurs for a Merriams,but nothing like some Easterns.

First ones from eastern NC; an old swamp boomer. Second shot from Sloans Lake Park in Denver; found it protruding from the ground by the base of a silver maple. If any of you western historians recognize the style, I'd love to know some history.

Limb hangers all......now go kill an Oscillated for unfugging believable spurs.....and they don't have beards!

Merriam's get some hooks once in a while too. My wife shot this one last year in CO. The short spur is 1 3/4" and the long is 1 7/8" Beard is 9 3/4"

You would think LOL. I was in the process of cutting the spurs off when I was interrupted and just have not got back to the job yet.

I like the white's on them Merriam, that is a nice bird. Hope you all do good this year.

I need a Merriams! That's a great picture Nick!

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

If you really "need" a Merriams, let me know and I can hook you up with a friend in Meade Co, SD. Beautiful pure white birds. It will cost you around a thou for 3 1/2 days of hunting, room and three meals a day and all transportation including pick up in Rapid if you fly in. Booked up this year.

Those are real nice. It's obvious where the term "limbhanger" comes from!
