I can't help myself I have to brag and I'm going crazy counting the hours. I finally leave this Saturday for Mexico to hunt the Ocellated Turkey to fulfill a life long dream of getting a World Slam. However there is a twist. I will try and take at least one of my birds by bow and with any luck finish one dream and start another by taking a World Slam with a bow. I have never hunted turkey with a bow. Saturday can't come soon enough!
I have to add a thank you (and you know who you are) to certain member(s) on this board who have talked with me for endless hours by phone the last couple weeks giving me tips, support and insight about what to expect on my hunt, and thank you old gobbler.com.
Sincerely,
Bill
Good luck, and like the old saying goes, drink plenty of water. Or something like that.
That would be the ultimate dream to be able to complete the slam!! Good luck and I hope you have safe trip!
On a side note, its Mexico right? Yeah, drink plenty of water BEFORE you get there LOL!
Congratulations on your opportunity for the world slam,good luck,and safe hunting/traveling
