Three nice Merriam's we got this year.  The snow helped up out.

Took my bow and wife took shotgun for several nice walks.  Only got close twice, once for my wife, but he would not close the gap, and once for me at 45 yards with the bow, so I passed.

Tmike,

CA was my first guess judging by the terrain.  Was your hunting parter with you?  Great experience for the kids!

Ours were Merriams as well but there must be some Rios mixing in as the tips of the fan have a lot of buff in them.

Ours came in gobbling and strutting the whole way.  He had another Tom with him but my partner was behind a tree and not able to get a shot. That's hunting.

Again nice bird.
