Very good, congrats!

I hunted for a NE bird late April and had rain every day. My turkey luck!

Thanks for all the coments, I'm not sure where Grand Island is, but I was on private property just west of Lexington,NB. Platt river runs just south of I-80. Lots of birds in the area. This bird was a Merrian / Rio cross, wanted a pure bred Merrian, but whoe's gonna complain with a bird like this. He had a 9" beard and 1" spurs for those of you care about such things. Came right in and passed up the hen and went straight to the Jake decoy. My hunting partner and I have had really good luck with the Jake decoy this spring. Had several big Birds just flog it and several more peck at it and strut and display around it. Wont be hunting without one again.  RW

Great looking gobbler! Love those decoys!
Congratulations

RW - I go to Nebraska every year and ALWAYS have fun.  Don't tell anybody, but I'm of the opinion that Nebraska has some of THE BEST turkey hunting in the country right now.  Plus, the landowners are very accommodating if you ask nicely and treat them with respect.

We have permission to hunt numerous properties and regularly see flocks with 7-10 toms....sometimes several flocks on the same property.

I help out as a guide with an outdoors ministry that hosts a hunt near Fullerton/Genoa Nebraska (just northeast of where you were hunting).  This year we had 12 hunters that took 23 birds.  It's just amazing.  I was out there scouting 2 days before turkey camp, and took the bird below.

Anyway, Congrats on a very nice bird!

 

Way to go Roy!   Congrats            

Sounds like it was a great trip, awesome pics and bird. Your right, late is great and I think the birds work better later in the season.

Good job on the gobbler!

Mike

way to go Roy!

Hey Roy,

Congrats on your bird? Nebraska eh?  Nice!

Hopefully we'll both draw and be heading back to Kansas this fall.

Talk to you later......Tim

Makes me happy to have the entire season to run round with them crazy birds.saw some little chicks in the field this mornin already.
   Grats on a fine bird.  

Tradhunter, you definitely live in a Turkey rich state. Brian, very nice bird yourself, congrats.  Tracy there is no shortage of birds where you live either, I think you just can't do better than Kansas and Nebraska for Turkeys, the Deer hunting aint bad either....RW

Been in Neb. a few times with the wheelie and it was bird-crazy over there.  Congrats to you and all me fellow trad turkey nuts!

Congrats!
