This is a last minute deal on a great 57000 acre ranch in New Mexico that has yet to be hunted this season. In fact these birds have never been called before! For a group of 2-4 guys I can offer a semi guided 1 bird bag limit hunt for $500/hunter. Act fast as season ends May 10th! Ranch is located near Clayton, NM. Call me at 806-333-4358 or email at sagebrushhunts@gmail.com

Here are a couple videos from the ranch.

Clayton NM is rio grande country. Why are you pawning it off as a merriams hunt? Let's be honest with people. Thanks

I will be the first to admit Im not a turkey expert. I do have some close friends that are diehard turkey hunters that say these are merriams. Did you watch the videos? Do they not look like merriams to you?

White tips on tail feathers.
Looks like Merriams to me!!!

Ok thanks! I don't want to misrepresent something!

I did some research on the Merriams just recently (because I have a Rio from the northern TX Panhandle that sure has white looking tips in is tail feathers), and what I came up w/ is the bronze-looking band that runs through the black just below the tips (as in your top picture). I could find no proof that this distinguished a Merriams from a lightly-tipped Rio, but I would sure say the Toms in your photos and videos are Merriams. I recently lived in Clayton, and killed a Tom less than 20 miles from town, and he was a Rio. So, it looks as if the area around Clayton has both Rios and Merriams. But yours, Jeremy, definitely look to be Merriams to me.

Ok. Yes they look very white. Thanks for your candor. Very interesting.

IF Jeremyks made a mistake, I guarantee it was a honest mistake.

I believe it may be possible to have Rio's at lower elevations and Merriams at higher elevations in the area discussed.

Well I took a chance and went with Jeremy last week. I'm not going to get into the Rio/Merriam debate but I will tell you he is booked up for next year if he gives me an opportunity. It's a big unique property with a good opportunity to hunt turkey in NM. I have zero complaints. I mostly hunt diy and like most of you here was concerned that I was hunting Merriams instead of the Rios that I have hunted here in Tx for years. My opinion is the absolute same as gamblinman on this one and I have the birds (2) to back that theory up

It was a pleasure hunting with you! Thanks!
