Anybody chasing slams, personal goals? I would like to get out west and hunt for a Merriam's, before I get much older. Too old to go chasing all over the country, still need to go and hunt Elk somewhere. Hopefully I get to take my first coyote this year.
Kill one with my new Lonnie Mabry glass/mahogany pot call.

Last year hunted a different zone, went in blind, found a flock on 3rd trip over. By the time I was able to get near them they had flown down and were heading to private. Called , got response from at least 3 Toms, heard a few jakes. Moved to where I think they were roosted, started calling again, flock was 2oo yds away. Dominate Tom would respond but they were on a mission to get to a private field where I would not have a chance. Another Tom was closer and started answering more as flock got farther away. He gobbled at 60yds , just over a slight rise, open woods but could not see him, battle went on for over 1 hour, just as I started to get up on my knee's to crawl to another tree, he moved 20yds to my right, knew he was coming, strutted into 35 with 2 jakes. Great hunt, going back to see if I can outwit Boss Tom this year, now that I know a little of their movements.
I've only shot easterns and one Osceola.
My goals not are to get a tom for all my kids.
My youngest (13) is the only child that hasn't shot one.

I have a goal to kill a bird using one of the calls ive made in the offseason. If i can get it done eith either the wingbone yelper or one of the box calls i made i will be tickled pink.
Did my first out of state hunt last year and was looking forward to another one this year, but looks like I am going to have to wait until next year to chase another sub species.
My goal is to kill a bird with at least one of my kids along. My son has seen a few kills with me, but my daughter is itching to go this year as well. She turns 6 on the 3rd day of my first season and is quite chatty, so who knows how that will go. I pretty much need to have a bird roosted and get a blind up over decoys to have any chance with the kids along.
