I was wondering if anyone has hunted any longbeards in Nebraska? I will be going up there for work for about 3-5 months and will probably not make it back home to partake in the usual hunting festivities. I was hoping to get into some Marriams while i'm up there. Is hunting Marriams/Rios any different than Easterns? Any info anyone might have would be great. Thanks

I haven't hunted Rio's in Nebraska but have in other states and find them not to be much different than Eastern's when it comes to hunting them. I do however think that they are much more vocal than Eastern's in alot of cases.

Not much info here about hunting Nebraska but I know they have some good public ground as well as Indian Reservation ground which you have to pay a small trespass fee to hunt.

They also have a early archery season that starts in March for turkeys and you must obtain a bowhunters saftey course to be legal.

GOOD LUCK!

I don't know about Nebraska Rios, but the ones I hunted in Texas last year would gobble all day long! It was awesome! It's a lazy gobble compared to an Eastern's, but they use it often. They respond really well to locator calls in the middle of the day.
