Congrats! We saw a bunch of those in Colorado and a few on Raton Pass over spring break. Never seen them before until this year. Is he doing the slam in one year?

No. The NWTF says the completion of a slam doesn't have to take place in a calendar year. That sure would be fun to try all four in one year though. He has an Eastern and a Merriam now. We tried for a Rio at a buddies deer lease and didn't have any luck. I am looking around and trying to find a low cost Rio hunt. We have been to Louisiana, Kansas and New Mexico in the last few weeks turkey hunting. My wifes patience is definitely runing out. We are goning for the Osceola next year. That gives us a year to collect cans, sell blood, plasma and other organs to pay for that hunt. Just kidding, of course, both those dang Osceola hunts are expensive.
The main thing is we are having a BLAST!!! I can't wait to start over with my 8 year old in a few years.

Very cool. I'm knocking on 40 years old, and my dad started hauling me around turkey hunting as soon as I could walk. It's a passion he taught me, and I still love to this day. I killed my first Osceola this year, and did no good on the Eastern on the way back to TX. I missed my Rio opening morning. However, I hope to get my Rio and Eastern in the next two weeks. If so, I'm going after the Merriam to complete my slam in one year. I've currently killed everything but a Merriam. Just not in the same year. If I get a free weekend open, I can put your kid on a Rio and if I can't I have a buddy who can. That is if the wife still has some patience.

BarneyWho, I really appreciate that. I will take you up on that whenever you or your buddy have the time. You are welcome to come out to my place in Canton sometime and pop some pigs... whether the turkey hunt works out or not. I can keep the wife at bay a few more weeks.
