Nebraska Merriams Hunt
Posted: July 10th, 2016, 6:07 pm
Back in 2009, I made a trip to Hat Springs, Nebraska which is in the NW corner of the state. This was my 1st trip out west & to Merriam turkey. It was a great trip with good people & was also a trip of 1sts for me.
The first time:
1. To meet Noreasttrkyhntr, Bob & Catdaddy, Tom, face-to-face. We have known each other for 6+ years on the board. Great pleasure finally meeting him.
2. In Iowa.
3. To see & cross the Mighty Mississippi. There was a tremendous amount of flooding on the IL side, at least we think it was flooding. There was a lot of water in the woods on both sides of I80.
4. In Nebraska.
5. To see wild antelope.
6. To see wild mule deer.
7. To see the official State of Nebraska No Hunting sign.
8. To meet two of Nebraska’s finest people.
9. To ride up & down the mountains in Old Blue.
10. To see a wild Merriam’s hen.
11. To kill a Merriam’s gobbler.
12. To complete my Grand Slam.
13. To see Nebraska Whitetails
14. To go 9 days without watching TV.
15. To go 9 days without access to the NWTF site specifically & the web in general.
16. To almost hit a deer at 75 MPH in IN when at least 3 decided they needed I80 East bound more than I did.
