My bowhunting buddy from another state went to Nebraska. He is a bird hunting fool (Pheasants & Grouse) in the fall & archery spring Turkeys. In 2022 & 2023 he arrowed 5 birds in 3 states. His public land bowhunt in Nebraska where he had never been b/4 is over, 2 tags, 5 days there & 3 days bowhunting & he is done.. I call him the Turkey whisperer.

Nothing stops Beav from giving his limit of Toms a dirt nap within 48 hours of the Nebraska opener! Congrats! You're hell on them limb chickens.
From: Paul@thefort

No blind, no decoys. Was set up in front of a thick Cedar brush tree. Called two toms up a hill and as they crested the hill and came within range, ie, 10 yards, I killed one. Nebraska public land hunt at its finest. My best, Paul

What the heck took so long, Paul??! Must’ve been pacing yourself.
Congrats on your bird! Nebraska, I’m assuming?
From: Paul@thefort
03-Apr-24
Troy, Yea, today. This tom and his buddy came from 300 yards away to my box call at 6 pm. They had to traverse two brush filled ravines and then climb the hill to my hide. I did not believe they would come all the way as I was just setting their scouting the area for the past two hours, but their gobbling told me I better get an arrow on the string. They just popped out in front of me in the tall grass. Hot to trot for sure. Sometimes easy, sometimes a hard hunt.

I haven't had much time to hunt due to work and the fish biting. Went out to the farm opening evening and sat in my stand with my 100 year old Belgian made 16 guage. A pair of Jakes wandered by without a single call from me. The last time I dug that gun out of the safe was 9 years ago on my last hunt with my old lab Shadow. Fired it 4 times since I bought it, and killed a rabbit, quail, teal, and now a turkey.

My 10 year old son told me back in January he wanted to turkey hunt this year. This morning on Ohio’s opener, we called a hen and 2 longbeards into the decoys at 15 yards right off the roost. He folded up the closest bird and proceeded to shake for an hour! Pretty sure he’s a turkey hunter now! Congrats on the birds guys!
