2015 season was one of the best for me not only because I completed my Grand Slam but I had the opportunity to shoot the slam in one season! Before the beginning of season I needed the Osceola and Merriams to complete my slam. I have been out 2 other times for a Merriams and it snowed hard everyday on both trips so I felt I had a curse. I started out in Florida, back home to TN, Wyoming, and ended in TX. Each memory made this year will last a lifetime. Now after season depression is starting to kick in. Each bird has a unique and memorable story each of their own. I'm just thankful for The Lord blessing me with yet another season.

Congrats! Nice turkeys
That is a great season for sure!! Congrats on the awesome birds and the Grand Slam!
Congratulations on the great birds and pictures! The memories are the best part and hopefully they help get you through the off season.
Awesome season!
There is an older fella here local that owns his own archery shop, he must have 50 mounts in the shop. He said without a doubt he could give me the details of every single hunt. What happened, calls he used, methods, locations..... He said the mounts where discussion pieces, the memories would last forever.
:icon_thumright: way to go!
