[QUOTE="tree_ghost, post: 5609524, member: 14521"] Had an incredible time the past few days in Nebraska. Big beautiful river bottoms and prairies. Had some tough conditions on the opener with slow steady rain all day. I hunted hard all day but couldn’t locate a bird that wanted to play the game. Sunday morning rolled around and the conditions hadn’t improved much with forecasted winds of 20-40mph but at least it wasn’t raining…I ended up covering about 6 miles just moving around the upper rim of the draws and glassing into the bottoms where the wind wasn’t to bad. Finally after 11hours of moving and working I managed to close the deal on a beautiful Nebraska meriam! 8.5” beard 1-1/8” spurs 22lb After a good bit of celebrating we headed to bed with the forecast for Monday morning being perfect conditions, sunny and calm. I headed in to a draw with a creek bottom in it that had birds I’d glassed a couple days earlier. Sure enough at daylight they started hammering but I knew it would be tough cause he had plenty of hens cutting up with him. He brought the thunder hard on the limb but went quiet for a couple hours right under his roost tree while he bred his hens. As he did his business I slowly worked down the creek chanel and up to the edge of the woodline to watch the opening between me and him. Once I was in position I pulled out the call. At 8:30 he started moving down the hill behind his hens. A short series of clucks and soft yelps made him come apart…he busted the opening in full strut and drumming and I let the .410 eat! Straight up stoned him! Textbook hunt! 6” beard 1” spurs 18.5lb [/QUOTE]
