…last Sunday I ran into something I have come across more frequently in the last few years of turkey hunting than I did in my first decade – rowdy groups of jakes…the trio of (nearly) year-old gobblers pictured here ruled the field I was set-up on…I watched them chase off …
…it’s that time of year again…that time of year when I hear that familiar spring statement made over and over: “The ticks are sure thick this year!” …this is Nebraska – yes, we have ticks…but this is also the 21st Century and we have great, proven methods to get ticks to pretty much avoid you… …
…Saturday morning found my wife and I sharing the turkey woods together – what an amazing morning…birds weren’t roosted exactly where we thought they would be, but they sure were in the mood to sing & they liked what Leslie was telling them with her box call… …at first the gobblers were …
4:30 a.m. - My alarm clock wakes me – and my wife…I hate having to get up so darn early for turkeys…my wife, who is not going hunting this a.m., likes it even less right now… 4:50 a.m. – Driving under a silver, sliver of a moon and crystal clear sky – what …

…this Saturday, April 10, the 2010 youth (shotgun) spring turkey season will commence…what an amazing opportunity to introduce a youngster to the fun, and yes, addiction of spring time gobbler-chasing… …for $5 (and if applicable $1 agent fee) you can purchase a youth turkey permit that is good for the …
…I have not been able to get out to chase the turkeys since last Friday – which is 4-days too long to be absent from the turkey woods during this time of the year…I am getting some tasks accomplished at work today, but my mind continues to wander…so I figure …
…my spring turkey hunting has now officially begun – sure I have been out once or twice in half-hearted attempts at luring a gobbler into bow range, but they didn’t really count…by some amount of luck both my kids had today (Friday) off - amazingly it didn’t get lost in an attempt to …
…got some bad news last night…one of my favorite (and more reliable) turkey hunting spots is no longer open to me – bummer!…the landowner’s son has returned to the area and happens to be a hunter, too…so even though I will miss the early mornings in this particular riverine spot …
