One of these is tbe Goulds tbe other a merriams .

Im guessing the bigger one is Goulds? But Im no expert, look the same except size

[Red Rabbit]

Goulds is with the white rimmed tail feathers seen on the viewers' right

[Little Creek Calls]

My guess would be the one on the right, more white tipped tail feathers. Great looking mounts.

[Big Browns]

I was going to say the bird on the right due to size and the whiter tipped feathers.

[oz31p]

I’d guess the one the right because if diferant that the ones I have on my walls .

[Edge]

Guessing one on the right because everyone else did.

I'm with this guy!

 

Also-Nice mounts!

[Arizona Griz]

I think it is the left bird since the tip of the tail feathers are more cream color.

Both are very cool, well done.

Dang so which species is this? Picture courtesy of Southern Az 2 weeks ago. L.O.L. crazy birds!

 

 

 

I did not kill cranes but saw peacocks. 😂

This brings up a good question ... why are Goulds tags such a big deal?

 

A tape measure of some sort must surely be involved.

It's the largest of the turkeys and only found in a couple of places in AZ & NM and the majority of the population is in Mexico.

Right

[tomgobbler]

The one on the right is a Goulds , however Ive had Goulds with the tips the color of the other one and Ive done merriams with bright white tips ... the Goulds is bigger but its not by very much . The top of these birds heads were almost the same height , the Goulds is a little fuller through the body & tail ... but its pretty minimal .... at least for the minimal #s Ive done - about a dozen Goulds including one my son shot with a bow , & they are very very similar in coloring & size to merriams ,

 

Another Goulds & merriams

No idea why they turned sideways anyone can fix it feel free .
