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.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

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

Good luck on your hunt.

CASH

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Good luck man! I can't wait to get down there for an ocellated. Have a great time and take good pictures.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
