I'll be heading to Neb. for the first time myself May 16-19 with Gobble n Grunt outfitters I'm hoping I timed it close. Good luck to you
Unless you're hit by really bad weather you'll be successful. Lots of birds.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Going out to Nebraska May 6th-12th for my first time this spring with a few buddies. Still undecided as to where to go? Not looking for anyones spots, but if anyone has any general direction or area they would recommend I'd appreciate any and all help I can get. Also, besides terrain, what else can I expect to be different hunting in Nebraska compared to Missouri? Thanks for any help.

Leadbelt a group of us just returned from an archery hunt in NW Nebraska. I had hunted NE Nebraska in the past and I thought that was amazing. Well the NW part of that state is even better.

I'm not sure what the gun hunting is like or how much hunting competition there would be at the time that you are going. Here was my experience for the week we were there.

The scenery and abundance of wildlife is very impressive. The elevation is something that I never really thought about but depending on your elevation of where you live. You might feel the impact of the elevation change. Birds were very vocal but still in fairly large flocks.

I was able to arrow this 2 year old on public land on the 4th day of my hunt. Shoot me a PM and I can give you some more detailed information.


Here is a picture I took from the top of one of the Buttes. This is overlooking the area that I killed my bird. Really neat part of the country.

I'll be in Merriman, NE this weekend for the opener, weather app seems to change the forecast every day but it still looks really good.

My buddy gained private access to some huge ranches 2 yrs ago but I have not been able to go with due to newborns and job changes the last two season but this year is a green light for bird smashing. should be a fun road trip will probably spend longer in the truck than hunting but that's all part of the fun.
