My buddy and I spent a couple of days in Nebraska chasing some Merriams last week. We had some pretty good luck and I thought I would share some pictures with ya.
This is my buddys first bird. Pretty good bird and the leader of 9 other gobblers that he didn't let get in gun range. The morning he shot this bird, we probably heard 25 other birds and all of them gobbled till I picked him up at 9:00....
His second bird that answered a box call from about a mile away right before dark. We drove around to the field the birds were in and came in above them. After a couple of yelps from me and a butt kicking that he handed three jakes, he was right in our lap...
My birds were not nearly as exciting as his. I called, they gobbled and I shot. Still a blast though. The first one was shot in a wind break about a mile from the nearest woods...
The call that done him in. Notice the name on the back "Daniel Wills". It is a beautiful Cocobolo pot with copper surface that sings turkey and has been broken in now. He ordered it and has never replied to my calls or emails. I like his call. ;D
And last but not least, the last morning and mid-day hunt that I went on....
