Merriam’s Turkey Hunting in Nebraska
This Western Nebraska camp may be one of the most sought after destinations in the State of Nebraska for hunters. The camp operates and hunts on properties that cover the main destinations out west which include the famous Sandhills, North Platte River, Wildcat Hills, Niobrara River, and Pine Ridge Regions of the State.
All of these locations offer different terrain types, features, and game animals. These regions range from our state’s open Sandhill country where no trees are found for hundreds of miles yet littered with mule deer, antelope, coyotes, and prairie dogs; to the Wildcat Hills & Pine Ridge areas of the state which hold great numbers of wild Merriam turkey.
The Hunt
Our Nebraska partner is very accommodating to almost all types of Turkey hunters out there. These Nebraska farms & ranches offer great blend of envionments to entertain the most die hard turkey hunters.
Most often you will “run & gun” and call for your toms, when the birds are most responsive, if the calling is touch, and proves to be less than effective, there are multiple blinds on the properties, in high traffic areas so wasting time trying to call in uninterested or occupied Toms.
They also have multiple ground blinds set-up throughout the entire turkey season especially for archery hunters. You may also use these ground blinds on rainy days to so that you can stay active and hunting, no matter what the weather throws at you.
No matter whether you’re a marathon runner or an immobile turkey hunter looking to bag a bird, we will do everything in our power to accommodate your group and style of hunting.
