Nebraska 2021

Post by Hoobilly »

Got one in Nebraska today.

My 16gear ok’d daughter went with me. She had a blast but today she was flat wore out and slept in. I went and mid morning I was glassing wind breaks etc and looked north and hens were 200 yards looking at me. The split second I knew it was turkeys they peeled out to the ravine I just came up out of.

So I went south behind the hull and hoofed it a 1/8 or more then started glassing. They didn’t go far. Once they came out of the ravine they looked around and felt comfortable enough to feed

I decided I needed to move further east and saw some pines about 200 yards that looked like a good ambush spot. Hoofed it there and a few minutes later I see him in the shade under a huge pine. Hens fed all around the hillside and had a hen at 40. Surely he would follow? The close hen turned back down hill and he wound up a 100 yards away following 2 other hens and moving north westerly. I knew I needed to go back to where I started from. Hoofed it back around hill and got to where they should be and nada. For a minute I thought I bumped him. Then I realized there’s a small ridge between me and that large pine. I went to the last pine close to the ridge on the slope knowing they were probably still in the windbreak.

I held the strutter decoy in front of me, hunched down and moved to ridge to check and see where they were. To my surprise he was 40 yards over the hill strutting. I dropped the dele and brought the gun up and stood up and banged him.

Way to go, Brice!

I’ll be placing the fan on the board after I get it prepped

Once it’s boraxed I’ll get pictures of the beard and spurs
