Nebraska Merriams Hunt: Bagging a Gobbler with an Old Diaphragm Call

Nice job buddy congratulations 💪💪

Nothing like when a hunt just comes together is it? 👊🏻

Congratulations my friend!🦃👍👊🍻

@Tyler trying to keep up with you my man, 🤣

@Brad yessir, it’s amazing how different hunts can go. Sure keeps it fun.

@David thanks bud! And by the way, we saw signs for the Hennepin canal this morning around 1 am on the way home. If it’d been earlier, we’d have made you buy us a beer🤣👊🍻

Gotta love when something happens on your own property, let alone have him come charging at a distance into the call. Nothing better! Congrats Sir!

@James you know it bro. I love the sprinters!

@Mike I once watched one sprint 200 plus yards a cross an old beam field into the decoys… can’t beat that heart pumping action!

That’s an awesome story man. Congratulations!

Congrats Mr Mike

@James hahaha, love it

@Nathan thank you sir👊

@Dave appreciate it Dave! 👊

A big congratulations, Mike! 🦃💥
🤜🏼🤛🏼

He was the cause of your left-behind boots!

He was the cause of your left-behind boots! I’ll echo your sentiment about @Dallas and @Nate

Don't find a ton of birds with thier mind lost in the afternoon but when you do they tend to die fast! Dandy bird! Gonna go call for a buddy in the morning

@Lisa thank you ma’am 👊

@Gobbler hahaha, he absolutely was. He’s in the freezer but got a final dig in that cost me $160 🤬🤣

Wow! You make it sound so easy. That’s awesome!!

@Appalachian exactly. I knew I needed to make @Gobbler wait in my driveway if that’s what it took🤣. Good luck tomorrow 👊

@Arica thanks Arica, it all comes down to time in the woods and catching one in the right mood. It’s possible to say the right things to a stubborn one, but that’ll come with experience. Stick with it!

Hell of a story Congrats buddy nice bird👍💪🥃

Congrats

@Mike I'd say @Gobbler would wait on a man to snuff a rooster if need be 🤣

@Appalachian yes. Yes I would. 😎

@Robert thanks my man👊🥃

@Adam right place, right time👊

@Appalachian hahaha, yep. Don’t tell him, but he’s a great dude🤣

@Mike I have been neither of those yet this season 🤣

@Adam hang in there, it’s gonna happen!

Knock on wood, I got an unexpected day off Monday so I'll be in the woods at least twice this weekend. I'm a little miffed, bought a red dot and UPS was supposed to deliver it today and I thought I could have it installed and zeroed by tomorrow but now they're saying Monday 🙄

@Adam ugh. Hopefully they surprise you tomorrow 🤞

@Gobbler 😎 waited on one of my buddies to pop one last Saturday, heard the shot and watched the bird fly away 🤦

@Mike 🤐🤫

@Appalachian that happens to the best of us sometimes. 🤪

Nice Mike. Congrats.

@David thanks David👊. Biggest hooks I’ve ever taken

@Gobbler yep……………..🤪

Congrats on the eastern! We really enjoyed getting to meet you,your son and Rick @Gobbler and just know that you all are welcome here anytime.

Haha yes!

Atta boy!!!

@Mike wouldve been more than happy too. 😁🍻🍻

Awesome story, Great bird, congratulations 🦃

@Mike im about 1 hour east of where you crossed over the canal on I80. Was sound asleep by then after putting in 60 hours this week and to get up early to get ready to head out and enjoy the weekend.

Nice!

Sounds like the perfect start 👊 Congrats on the kill Mike 🦃

@Dallas thanks again for everything! If you guys ever need anything in Michigan, I’ll do my best to make it happen.

@Kevin I didn’t quite do the flat Stanley thing to the same degree Rick did, but I’ve got a few coming🤣

@Brayden thanks, good luck this weekend!

@Ricky thanks Ricky👊

@David well have a great weekend!

@Scott 👊

@John what a week!

Congratulations Buddy! Nice Bird!

@Mike fishing, fishing and more fishing for me. 🎣😁

@Stephen thanks man! 👊

@Mike I remember somebody’s kid come to Utah skiing couple months ago and forgot his coat😉👊🍻

@Robert bahahahaha, true. Had to cut through a small marsh to set up on this bird and my boots got wet, so we left them out on the deck to dry until Rick got here. Wyatt went to put them in the truck while I was cleaning the bird, but I told him to wait a bit more. But it’s definitely on me. 🤪 my wife was at my daughters soccer game and got home and called and. Said “were the boots on the deck supposed to go with you? ”. 🤬

@Mike there at least better be shitter shots…😂😂😂

@Kevin 😂😂😂

@Kevin 🤣🤣🤣. Better!

@Mike called one in for my buddy's cousin in short order, still looking for another

@Mike exciting!

@Appalachian excellent! Good work and good luck!👊

@Kevin

@Mike 👊

That's a mighty fine bird.

@David yessir, thanks! The longest spurs I’ve taken and top 5 in weight. I was stoked!

Congratulations Mike!!

@O2 thanks! 👊

Congrats on another one Mike

@Dave thanks Dave!

@Mike Yes Sir your welcome Buddy!
