If you haven’t already, go here and read Part 1 of mine and Calvin’s 2015 Nebraska Merriam’s hunt. Our first few days in Nebraska for our annual Merriam’s hunt was nothing short of frustrating. Despite the high hopes and unwavering confidence we had brought along with us, Nebraska had decided to
The 2015 turkey season began much like the past several years have. Opening day quickly approaching and I’m not nearly ready for it to begin. I had obviously been looking forward to season beginning for several months, but with working a full-time job and other life events in general, it always
There is little that gets me more excited than the thought of our annual Nebraska Turkey hunt. Each year as the trip approaches, my mind cycles through endless scenarios of how I’m going to arrow my Merriam’s. We all dream of that quick slam-dunk hunt where you nail a bird
Two weeks prior to the opening weekend of the North Carolina spring wild turkey season, I was running four trail cams on three different farms and getting up early most mornings before going to work to locate birds. The past couple season I had not done my homework, and ended up having

With my Grandpa passing away merely days before the turkey opener my heart just wasn’t in it like normal. Opening weekend was filled with heavy hearts and funeral arrangements as my family closed the book on what was the tale of a great man’s life. Having difficulty dealing with all
The month of April is without a doubt one of the favored months of the year for the majority of our nations’ turkey hunters. In the South, the dogwoods bloom and the grass turns green, and for the most part, the turkeys gobble. April 13th marked the opening day of
Saturday, April 27, 2013: I got the blind setup on the eastern edge of the freshly tilled bottom field and was setting out my DSD flock when a gobble sounded off in the woodlot behind the blind. “Finally setup in the right spot” I thought to myself as I finished
I made the 7 hour trip down from my Ohio home to meet up with my friends Forrest, Sarah, and Brad in North Carolina to do a little turkey hunting for a couple of days. After every one of the SELFILMED crew (except for myself) had already tagged a turkey in
