    Default Mission Complete

    Gavins Merriam completed his Grand Slam Friday Morning after a Battle with hens and Jakes. Gavin witnessed about everything you can in at turkey hunt. There was gobbling, lots of Drumming, Yelping, cuts, Jake Yelps, Jakes fighting, Gobbler breeding hens, the whole nine. Finally after over and 1 1/2 hours the hens started our way. Soon after the hens got close Gavin at 7 years old finished his First Grand Slam.

    That evening we had another come into the calling following a hen. He got to 28yards and I sent a .410 full of Tungsten his way.

    Fast forward to Saturday Morning me and Gavin was hunting with his Granddaddy and at 0540 Am Gavins Granddaddy finished his first Grand Slam Too.....

    Went spent over 56 hours driving and around 4069 miles on the road, but the Mission was Complete.

    Fun times and making Memories!!!

    Awesome.
    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-

    Congrats! That’s special

    The turkey poets are leafy green with envy and you can bet your ass one of their kids will have a super grand oscillated slam before years end.

    That is mighty fine my friend. I'm looking at a packed gun case sitting beside a packed suitcase right now. I packed lots of bullets

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

    Looks like an awesome trip. Hunting on public? Not that it matters just wondering cause I hear there’s lots out there.

    Due to Daddy not being able to run the Hills nor Gavin really, I booked a hunt for us on a Ranch.
