Turkey Slam Completed..!!!(Now / w pics..pg3)
« on: March 28, 2010, 08:21:00 AM »
Well guys, Yesterday AM I shot a beautiful 3yr old Osceola tom which completes my N American turkey slam.  I'm hunting near Ocala with Fred Eichler and guide Al Roberts, both of whom worked there tails off to put me on this bird.  Al pulled a "rabbit out of a hat" locating my bird.  Thanks Buddy!!  The hit was solid, but the bird did a 180 and completely turned around on us.  
   I started my slam hunting Merriams with Fred in Nebraska and hunted Iowa, Kansas, and my home state of Wisconsin in my attempt to chip away at the others.  It's fitting that I finished it hunting with Fred and Al.  My Osceola was hands down my most difficult hunt in many respects.  I'm looking ahead now and hope to start working on my Goulds and Ocellated.  Someday..???   Best of luck to everyone this spring season!!!!

Big congrats.  I just started with turkeys a few years ago, but think I may want to start attempting a slam.  They are addicting.
