Nebraska Merriam's Tom

Me and my turkey hunting wife took a hunting trip to Nebraska to chase big Merriam tom's and had a great time hunting together. My wife hunted hard and chased turkeys for three days but we just couldn't seem to get a good enough shot at a bird for her. Last day of the hunt she wasn't feeling well so I went out to give it one more try and managed to harvest a beautiful Merriam's tom. My tom weighed 21 pounds with a 9 3/4 beard and matching 1 1/4 inch spurs. We had a great time and will be back next year in Nebraska to get my wife a tom.
