I'll start things off here with a post from my Nebraska trip this spring. I guess it stinks that I had to go all the way to Nebraska to fill my tag this year, but that's hunting sometimes.
I tagged along with 3 friends to Fullerton, NE to chase Merriam's turkeys. They might have more of a hybrid there, but either way it was a Merriam to me. We all had a successful trip and throughly enjoyed the hunting. I would highly recommend it for someone that's never been or is use to hunting our much quieter Eastern turkeys around North Florida and South Georgia. I bet I heard more gobbling in three days than in the last fours years here around Tallahassee.
Below are a few pics from our trip.
Me and my Merrriam. I was lucky enough to get this bird around mid-day by myself. (I had to give my guide a hard time about this, but I was hoping to fill a tag on my own calling anyways.) He did put me on the spot and he was an awesome caller though. I really learned a lot from him.

All four of us with our birds.

Me and my guide Ken. (Ken is another FL guy and normally guides osceola hunts down south)
