Barry Munsey of Stanton, Va. I called his Merriams in at high noon on an Osage Orange slate in Nebraska. It weighed 20 lbs, had a 8 in. beard and 1 in. spurs.

John Baker of Lee's Summit, MO. This Nebraska Merriams was taken under a Pecan slate. It weighed 18 lbs. Had an 8 in. beard and 1 in. spurs.
My son Tanner with his monster Merriam's. I called him in on a Bocote. Everything in the woods that morning split as soon as they saw this beast strutting through the undergrowth. He was big! 30lbs! They do grow them big in Nebraska.
Mike Hill of Sand Springs, OK. I called his bird in on Apr. 7 with my Osage Orange slate. Mikes was the biggest of 3 Rio's that came in running to the call. It weighed 20 lbs. with a 5 in. beard and 1/2 in. spurs.
There I am all ghilli'd out with 2 Merriams.
Mike Luer of Prairie Farm, Wisconsin. I can't take credit for this monster, Mike did it all himself, but notice the call in the lower right? Osage Orange. You can read Mikes account of the hunt on the Testimonial page. I love it when you guys send me photos of your hunts. I also appreciate the calls in the photos too!
Heres another one of Mike Luer with another nice tom from Wisconsin. Beautiful bird!.....uhh.....where's the call Mike? Heh heh. Mike is one heck of a turkey hunter!
Here's Mike and some of his Buddies with 2 Beautiful Easterns that fell to his Osage Orange Slate.
