From start to finish it took 38 days to kill the Single Season World Slam of turkeys. Started in Florida on March 26th and finished it in Kansass May 2nd. I did have a lot of down time between trips, so it really took 14 days of hunting to get the birds killed. I shot a Grand Slam with my 28 gauge, using my handloaded TSS. That stuff is wicked to shoot. To date 11 birds have been killed in 14 days of hunting, so I have been hard on them this season in a short amount of time.

I do need to kill one more Eastern to complete a Double World Slam in one season. Should get that done this weekend. Hunted 3 days in Florida and I called in 4 birds to their death. Mexico was a slaughterhouse. We shot 10 Ocellated Turkeys between 5 of us, and 10 Gould's between 6 of us. Calling in the jungle Ocellated bird using an e-caller was different. Hunted 2 days and we killed 4 Merriams and 2 days of hunting killed 3 Rios. I needed only one day for an Eastern, but I guess things worked out better than others for an Eastern bird. I've seen more birds at my house this year than the previous 3-4 years, so I think the bird population is doing better than previously.
