Turkey Hunting - Livingston, Montana

Spring turkey hunting is done in Southeastern Montana. Which means BIG strutting long beard Merriam gobblers! The Merriam is known for being one of the most vocal of the 4 turkey sub species found within the lower 48 states. Hunting the Merriam differs from typical Eastern gobbler hunting in that lots of wide-open terrain allows hunters to use both roosting as a means of locating toms and glassing for toms after they have left the roost. No matter which method proves to be the most successful, the sight of a strutting Merriam tom, with his white band of feathers forming his fan, coming to the call, is heart pounding excitement.
