Thanks all, forgot to mention that when I went to recover the bird, I noticed a pile of beard feathers where I missed the first shot.  Guess I shaved off 1/3 or so of his beard.  The missing ones were about 6 1/2 inches long.

Cool story thanks for sharing!  :tup:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Great job, but wondering if Merriams were planted on Lopez Island or if this was a "private" release?

They're all white meat on the inside....   :chuckle:

Don't know, don't care.  Some have said they were planted with the NWTF.  More likely locals.  Still a challenge and fun to hunt.

Great job, you need to shoot about 20 more of those birds. Yes they are Merriam's, and were planted by private. I was asked by the land owner a couple years ago if any youth or disabled would be interested in hunting his birds with a small donation if possible and I was blasted from all directions from a certain few on this board.
Back to the hunt, I don't care if they are Merriam's or Easterners, it sounds like a lot of fun. I kick myself for not going up and doing the same hunt when I had the chance a few years ago. Again good job.
