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
