Great report and pics! Congrats!
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

Great read. Appreciate you taking the time to lay it out for us all.
To see those plans come together has to be the best feeling. Congrats to you both.

Good deal there congrats. With all of the planning and time you deserved it.

I appreciate all the kind words. It certainly makes these trips better when you have someone that you trust implicitly by your side. I have been on every trip in Tim's quest for his slams, and he on most of mine. I have shared a ton of trees with him and watched him kill many birds with many more to come. He did just as much homework and handled everything he was responsible for. He's a great hunter and a pleasure to travel with. Your partner is extremely important in these deals.
It is also shocking to me how far someone will go toward something they say they want, only to refuse to cross that last pond, last creek, last devil palm flat, hike that last mile, or whatever excuse you can insert. Driving that far and hunting up and down the road is just something I can't believe. I guess that's the difference between some folks and others.

He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

3rd place of 138 hunters.. not bad... never underestimate the power of nomad camo, and a really large ego... congrats!

I can promise you that I think I'm the baddest mofo at the base of every tree I sit against. That doesn't make it true, but its how I feel. I'd say that most successful turkey hunters feel the same way.

I’m not a turkey hunter, but after reading that, I might want to be.
Incredible write up Boozer.
I’ll be down there catching aquarium fish and peacocks in 8 days.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

Loved everything about that story. Congrats. What kind of hammock tent thingy is that?

Thanks man. Its a Lawson Blue Ridge. We chose that because of the lack of body contact to keep down the ability for mosquitoes to bite through. We were very pleased.

I camp some times when I go on long weekend tarpon trips down there and have been looking to change my set ups. That looks worth a go. Thanks for the info.

My nomad shirt was half price. What’s the going rate on a merriams? $1500 sound about right?
