That’s a two-year old for sure. Nice job. I am headed to the Blacks Hills for the last week of the season. What were the numbers like?
Re: BlackHills Gold!

Re: BlackHills Gold!
Haven’t heard any reports on numbers. 2 weeks ago when I was here they gobbled good in the morning and a little in the afternoon. Yesterday not a gobble. Crap weather tho. This morning you could count the stars. Was a beautiful morning for good memoriesmerriamsman wrote: ↑May 14th, 2020, 2:17 pm That’s a two-year old for sure. Nice job.

Congrats!!!
Merriam's jakes don't have spurs to speak of. He's not a Jake. The bar on his wings looks mature also.
You aren't supposed to carry them out by the tail feathers.

Re: BlackHills Gold!
I'm more interested in hearing how all his tail feathers wound up detached from his arse.

Re: BlackHills Gold!
In my (one bird) experience that's a mature Merriam's tom. Congratulations.
Thank you Lord for creating these wonderful birds and allowing us to chase after them.

Re: BlackHills Gold!
That’s one of Gobbler Doug’s old tricks!!
When he shot a jake, he’d pull the tale feathers out to remove any evidence of a “jake” fan!!
He must have passed down his secret down when he sold the forum to Brice.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

You probably know this, but the fan can be recreated using Bondo or something similar.

Re: BlackHills Gold!
Congrats Man I really miss sitting on a pine ridge and hearing that distinctive Merriam's gobble at first light ! Good thing about getting all those tail feathers out like that it makes cleaning the fat of them for a tail mount easier I have found that getting to them while still alive and grabbing that fan and pulling can make the job a lost easier
