tomgobbler Report post Posted April 20, 2013 took my son out for the opener of the youth season, and at 6:00 a.m. called him in a nice gobbler... and well things didnt work out.... at 9:30 set up on some more birds and called in another nice gobbler... and things didnt quite work out.... so about 1:00 showed him this gobbler, and after a long hard thought of crawling out of his sleeping bag in 14 degree weather ( thats what it was when we got up this morning) and me needing to get home for opening day of little league with all his little brothers, he decided a nice warm bed would be nice so he put the hamer down on this one. very nice spurs for a merriams gobbler. good luck tommy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
