Modcut, no advertising- read terms of service

He has a bunch of leased properties about four hours west of Omaha, Modcut

I flew into Omaha, and after a quick dinner in The Old Market (turn of the century buildings and cobblestone streets that have been renovated with restaurants and bars) I started heading west.

Well, the sun came up, but when the turkeys came down they took off in the other direction. Scott called for a few minutes, but quickly decided we needed to move and cut them off.

We tried, but all we found were the hens, no toms.

Since Scott has so many leases we hoped in his car and went looking for turkeys. After a few empty sports, we struck gold. We hopped out of the car, and quickly loaded up, and hit the ground. Now we had to belly crawl to a spot where we could see them, but they couldn't see us.

There was a hen and a branch between me and the tom. But as soon as the hen moved, I took the shot and dropped him. My first turkey!! He did a couple of summersaults, but by the time Scott was on him, he was dead.

Man what a rush. I was shooting my Beretta A300 with Winchester Long Beard ammo. It's funny, when I was patterning it, it kicked like a mule. But when I pulled the trigger on this guy, I don't remember the recoil or the sound.

Next it was time for pictures. Afterwards we headed back to the lodge for breakfast. Walt and Marilyn were my hosts, and prepared a delicious breakfast. The fact that Fox News is on in the lobby 24/7, was just a bonus.

When I asked Marilyn about cut, she said, "oh honey it hasn't been that many in a few years". I told you, it's a small town
Afterwards we went out and saw a bunch more hens, jakes, and one tom, but I didn't have a shot.

This time we were out working the trees. Don't let anyone kid you, Nebraska is not flat. Did I mention Scott is a tri-athlete? Did I mention I'm not?

Here's today's pictures, more tomorrow.
