Ok fellas I'm looking for a little bit of help.
Couple buddies and myself are looking to put the finishing touches up on a spring turkey hunt for this coming spring. We are after our unicorn, snow white. I personally could care less if it was a hybrid or a true Merriam. We are in a bit of a pickle and can't decide if we should put in for the draw in South Dakota or if Nebraska is the way to go in terms of less hassle with over the counter tag availability .
My question for anyone with experience or prior knowledge with dealing with the draw, how likely are we to get drawn in counties with average tag quotas (15 non resident tags on average-with 70 being the high I believe). Obviously our first choice would be to put in, in the counties in the south central part of south Dakota with high Merriam/hybrid populations as well as high quotas. Another thought (which I like the best) would be to buy over the counter tags in Nebraska and not have to deal with putting in per-say for a tag like SD. Money isn't the issue (SD is a better deal- 2 tags for 100.00) were (Nebraska is one tag for 90.00ish and then habitat fee)
Any help guys would be greatly appreciated. The trip has been in the works for a couple years and this year it seems its finally going to come together, if only we can all agree on an area
