Took Gutpile to WA for some Mountain climbing with firearms.
Shook off some of the stereotypes about Merriams turkeys. We faced henned up Gobblers that shook the hills with Gobbling and drew the line at 50 yards..
We did find 4 gobblers willing to play and they rode home on Delta. They gobbled like crazy and drummed as loud as any turkey you will hunt.
Saw the usual gorgeous vistas along the river.. lots of Elk, Mule Deer, Whitetails, Coyotes and Waterfowl for a bonus.
My favorite hunt of the year. Good lord willing, I will have it in me to climb the mountains in 2014.. they are getting steeper that is certain.
