Nebraska Merriam

[pointingdogsrule]

I offered a Merriam hunt in Nebraska at a charity auction. We headed out from Iowa on Sunday. Scouted with my friend in Chadron on Sunday night and located this flock.


Monday, we set up. At daylight a tom walks into the decoys. 5:29 AM dead bird at 34 yards. So happy for this person. First Merriam for him. He is 67 and just took up Turkey hunting 4 years ago. I am so blessed.

Fantastic! Nebraska is on my short list. Would of took my son up there this year but they stopped non resident sales. Maybe next year

Great experience, thanks for sharing

We were headed back to the Pine ridge as well, but didn't buy our tags before the stoppage - next year for sure. Bumping into Bighorns while hunting turkeys is not something that happens very often
