Haven't hunted Meramac CA, but have hunted several other areas .... I think you will have a good hunt, as Missouri really has a lot of birds to hunt. The thing I have found is to hunt the outside perimeter of the CA..... for some reason, most hunters tend to hunt towards the middle of these areas. I think you will be impressed with the care that Missouri gives to their CA's.... much better than here in Louisiana and your state of Mississippi. BTW..... I almost always hunt Missouri during the last week of their season, and am still impressed with how many birds will work.
