Great pics. Sounds like a great hunt. What area of Nebraska were u guys at. I am heading out Monday to the Chadron area for a week Haven't been out there in 10 yrs can't wait.
I HOPE you are aware that basically the whole Chadron area has burned to a crisp! I started hunting there several years ago myself and up until a few years ago it was the most beautiful place Ive ever had the pleasure of chasing turkeys. We killed the snot out of em too. 3 maybe 4 years ago a LARGE portion of it burned but we were still able to kill birds. Then the very next year it burned AGAIN! This time, it pretty much wiped out all of my honeyholes. Last year we were still able to kill a few birds but it was nothing like it used to be. The truly sad part is that as slow as stuff grows out there, it will NEVER IN MY LIFETIME be as good or as beautiful as it once was.
to really see the area that burnt look at google maps. between east ash road and west ash road and towards hwy 385 it burned to 385 and got to the edge of the state park. i think it was around 70,00 acres that burned. i went thru that area in october 2012 a couple of months after it burned and my place i hunted is gone so to speak. looks like on the very north end of the national forest still has some timber left.
