Well they ain't stopped gobblin yet!

Was in northern central Nebraska - saw a bit of struttin and heard morning gobbles.

The neatest thing was even though I forgot all my turkey calls - I used a ball point pen bottom as a mock wingbone call and had this big ole bad boy just yakkin' his fool head off. Called him within 10 paces of where I sat in my blaze orange dog judging clothes.....hehe

Made my day for sure! Oh was a Merriam with about a 11 inch beard and had over 1 inch spurs. Was a dandy.....mebbe I'll go after him next year!

JW Those sound like some tuff birds you hunt there

Actually LB was a totally new area for me!

Never hunted there but would like to. Saw a group of 2 goods toms and then 2 seperate singles. The last being the best.

Fun was that pen bottom as a call. hehe

Have never shot a Meriam...
