They are Merriams in this country and it was a pretty good bird but it is the lightest bird that I've gotten at 20 lbs. and 9 inch beard. I'm not trying to boast but I could of taken a double but decided not to will try a differant spot next week.

Great looking bird, I noticed the double bull blind. How do you like it? I hunted out of one for the first time this year and love my blind. It is a little heavy, but far superior to any other blind I have ever hunted out of.

Rob thanks for doing that I'm not the best with these things. I love the DB and I went in on halfs with my son on it. I just sling the thing over my solders and it really isn't to bad for me. I have a friend that bought a cheap backpack and used the shoulder strapes and had someone sow them on his DB and it works like a charm.
