Got my first tom of the year, 21lb merriams, little over 1" spurs, 9ΒΌ" beard, took 30 heart pounding, nerve racking minutes for him to come in after his first gobble....what a rush!!!

You guys are makin me jealous with all your birds...STOP  :)  :)  :-D  :-D

Seriously, nice bird. You can get two spring birds? That's awesome. We can only get one out here in PA, and we can only hunt till noon :? . Good luck on that second bird.  :D

Man what a pretty bird.  Congrats sir.  I got to get out and hunt some of the other species.  Those merriams are almost as purty as an eastern bird :wink: :lol:

Thanks!!!  Actually we can get 3 spring birds...only 2 can be Merriams, the other can be a Rio or an Eastern, we have all three here in Washington...if I can ever get an Eastern, I'd get my Washington Slam, but they are hard to come by. :cry:

Nice Bird!!  I hope to get a chance to fill my last tag Saturday. The weather isn't looking very good. Cooling down and rain likely.
