This Merriam’s turkey hunt takes place in 50,000+ acres of private land in east-central Montana. The landscape consists of beautiful pine ridges, creek bottoms, and hay meadows which create the perfect habitat mixture for these birds to thrive. Birds will primarily be pursued using run and gun techniques in conjunction with decoys and calling, but blind hunting is available. Access to such a large block of land and focusing on the limited offtake of mature birds ensures that each hunter has the highest quality hunt possible.
Lodging comes by way of a comfortable 12-bedroom and 10-bath facility that assures all the comforts of home. Wonderful meals will be prepared fresh each day by the lodge’s resident cook. If Merriam is on your list to complete the slam, this is the hunt for you!
