Title: WORLD SLAM
Post by: slamman on February 29, 2012, 07:48:54 PM
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.

Do you have to call in Spanish or do they come to English calling.

Good luck on your hunt.

headed to Merida in the state of Yucatan then drive 3 1/2 hours to a Menonite farm where I'll be hunting by myself.  The other hunters in our group are hunting with a gun and the Menonites do not allow guns on their farm.  thanks again.  headed for the airport Adios Amigos.  stay tuned for pix's.
