I am located in eastern Iowa right on the Mississippi River. I am looking for a Nebraska Merriams hunt. Willing to offer hunt here in a Iowa for Easterns, waterfowl or possibly deer.

I've spent time in a number of areas in Nebraska.  If you want pure merriams you may want to concentrate your efforts in the NW corner of Nebraska.  I've shot pure white tail-feathered toms in the same flock as toms with buff/tanned colored toms elsewhere in the state.  There are a lot of rio-crosses in the remainder of Nebraska.  I hunt here in Colo and it's the same thing from the front range eastward to KS.  Some white a some buff/tan toms in the eastern plains and river bottoms.  I've shot pure with merriams in the foothills and mtns for several years but harvested a cream tail-feathered tom in the mtns this year where they are supposed to be pure merriams.  I guess a lot depends upon whether it matters to you whether you want a pure strain of merriams?
