Turkey Hunting

Merriam Turkey Hunting

We are fortunate to have a large resident population of Merriam Turkey’s on the ranch.  Our harvest is never more than about 15 birds a year so when combined with agricultural production that is very conducive to turkey production we offer a very high success rate.  We hunt only the spring season so the weather can change very quickly but we can always find a bird.

Seasons:

Spring Archery Turkey:  Normally the end of March to the end of May.

Spring Shotgun Turkey:  Normally the middle of April to the end of May.

Please refer to the Nebraska Game & Parks web site for final season dates and regulations.  Anyone born after Jan. 1, 1977 must have completed a hunter education or bowhunter education program to hunt big game in Nebraska.

Costs:

Archery or Shotgun Turkey:  $1200 for 3 days and 1 bird. An additional bird is available for $300 and must be paid before attempting to hunt the second bird.

All hunts include 4 nights lodging, meals, 1x1 guiding, and transportation on the ranch.  

Price does not include license, sales tax, alcohol, meat processing, taxidermy, transportation to or from the ranch, guide gratuities, or anything else not listed above.  Any animal that is wounded but not recovered is a harvested animal and the hunt is considered complete.  Non-resident Turkey Shotgun or Archery License cost $86.00 and the required Habitat Stamp costs $13.00.

Booking/Cancellation:

50% due at booking to ensure desired dates.  Balance due on arrival and any cancellation more than 30 days prior to hunt will be credited to a future hunt.
