First Turkey of the Year
 

Well we got our first turkey of the year on the ground opening day of Nebraska archery season. It was a great looking 2 year old pure Merriam. Hopefully we will get a few more in Nebraska before Kansas and Missouri open.

Great looking bird you got there. Man I really love those Merriam Tail Feathers. I think they are the best looking subspecies.

Is that the new Realtree AP you guys have on? It blends into the background well in the pics.

Yeah, its the new Realtree APG. It blends in great out there. We havent had any trouble drawing back on the birds, especially when hunting from a pine tree blind :)

Good Hunting
