Title: Finished my Slam with my First Osceola
Post by: ElkTurkMan on March 20, 2013, 05:55:20 PM
I was fortunate to shoot my first Osceola Saturday afternoon.  I was extremely lucky to get him, as the birds weren't saying much.  The gobbling was very sparse Saturday Morning, and in the afternoonw e set up and cold called, and got this bird to answer around 5:25pm, and at 5:34, I had him slung over my shoulder.  I am still excited over this bird and about completing my slam.  Life is very good right now. ;D
