Well I was hoping to get an upgrade or two to help push up our score but just didn't have that happen. However my daughter and I both tagged out in Missouri allowing her to complete her Royal Slam and I was able to fill my tag in Colorado completing my Single Season Grand Slam. What a great season it has been.
We hunted with Kevin Harris from Honey Creek Outfitters and super happy we did. First morning in Missouri we doubled up!
And with a double beard!
My second bird was a hard headed sucker that we worked for almost three hours. I had the great fortune to be hunting with Three Time World Champion Caller Don Shipp and we finally were able to seal the deal.
On the last morning Jaycie was able to fill her last tag on this fine bird.
Super proud of her for completing her Royal Slam at the young age of 15!
Next up was a last minute hunt in Colorado that was very quick and to the point. Tagged out and headed home within a couple of hours. I hunted with David Fox from Hitlist Outfitters off of a fellow forum member's recommendation and it was right on the money.
This completed my Single Season Grand Slam.
A few quick stats.
Missouri Eastern 1. 21 lbs 7 oz, 3/4" & 7/8" spurs, 11 1/4" main beard, 5 1/4" second. 60.19 typical 70.69 Atypical
Missouri Eastern 2. 21 lbs even, 1" & 1 1/8" spurs, 9 1/8" beard. 60.50
Colorado Merriam's 17 lbs 2 oz, 3/4" spurs, 9" beard. 50.12
Feeling extremely blessed.
