Someone who lived in the Owl River area raised a bunch of Merriams about 10 yrs. ago and turned them loose. We would see groups of 6-8 in the jackpines on the Old Conklin Road going up to buddy's cabin regularly, until someone thought that they would all be better off in a roaster. One gobbler would chase the pick up like a farm dog, pecking at the rear wheels. It was really amusing to see.
