I took my 13 year old son to Florida over the weekend to try and finish his slam. We made the trip 4 years ago and he missed on the last morning. Lady Luck was on our side as a couple hens flew in right off the roost to the opening our blind was positioned in. It wasn't long before a nice tom and 4 jakes came in to check the hens out. The tom finally separated from the jakes and KABOOM his slam was completed. I would like to thank Billy Henderson with Deep South Outfitters for putting us in the birds again.

Awesome accomplishment for an avid hunter much less a 13 year old. CONGRATS! Hope to complete my 20ga and 28ga slam this year.
