Grand Slam Completed

[wvboy]

It has been 9 years since I killed a Rio .. waited another 6 years to kill a Merriam and another 3 to kill an Osceola .. but I just did it as time and money would allow.. Got it done last week on March 20th ..

Great trip with some great friends.. We went 5 for 5 on Florida Public Land ..   It was not an easy hunt for sure, but we all hunted hard and got it done.  Very little roost gobbling all four days I hunted, as a matter of fact I never did hear one gobble in the roost, but some of the other guys did a little, seems like from 8:30 to 12:00 was the best time to get responses.  All but one of the 5 birds we killed had at least one hen with them.

Me and my Cousin Jonnie walked probably a mile and a half to find this bird mid morning after our initial setup didn't work out.. His hen came in with him behind her strutting.

Congrats on a hard-earned Grand Slam!  I hope to be able to pull off a Slam myself in the future!

And 5 for 5 on public land is real good from what I hear!

Sometimes the best things are earned and the time it takes to accomplish them makes savoring the results that much sweeter.
