Do you wish you could get away and make that great escape to the wide open outdoors for a spring turkey hunt for the granddaddy of all turkeys, the Merriams? In the Elkhorn valley, the Niobrara and the Missouri River meet up

[/align]with the Great Sand Hills. This is where those dreams can come true.

[/align]

This outfitting and guiding operations is the culmination of a dream of a hunting, fishing and outdoors enthusiast that eventually lead to this successful hunting / outfitting agency.

[/align]

[/align]


With the outfitter being a lifetime resident of Nebraska, roaming the fields and streams of Nebraska for the last 50

[/align]years he has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and outdoor experiences. He would now like to extend an invitation

[/align]for you to come join him on a Nebraska adventure where the hunting is real with no game fences, across some of the most diverse terrain in the country, so wild you'll expect to see herds of Bison to come thundering over the hill. Come

[/align]lose yourself in a place that time forgot.

Areas hunted are in North Central Nebraska.

[/align]

Area 1:

[/align]Most of this area is in the Ainsworth/Meadville areas. This area of the state is rolling grass covered sandhills that give

[/align]way to steep, tree lined canyons of pines and hardwoods. There is some agricultural ground mixed in but mainly open country. This area holds an excellent hybird Merriam along with an excellent native Merriam turkey population, a guy

[/align]might even find a lost Eastern here once in awhile. In this area they also have access to 3 different private parcels of

[/align]land for a total of 5200 acres, the largest tract at 2100 acres.

[/align]

Area 2:Western Panhandle Region of Nebraska

[/align]This area of ground totals 2600 arces of private ground. The area is steep remote tree lined canyons of pines mainly.

[/align]True native Merriam turkeys are found in this area. They have taken a couple Rios in this area in the past but are few

[/align]and far between, but let us assure you the Merriam population is alive and thriving. This area does require access by walking only during dry conditions due to fire hazard.

[/align]

Area 3: Eastern Species only with a shot at a hybred Merriam possible.

[/align]1800 arces of private ground bordering the Missouri River. Rolling hills with hardwoods and scattered pine. This area

[/align]holds a good population of the Eastern species with some hybred Merriams thrown in.

[/align]

If you are requesting the Merriam species, hunting location is not decided on until just prior to the hunt due to scouting

[/align]and weather conditions. Some areas on the ranches are not accessible if wet conditions exist due to road conditions.
