Completed my Slam....field pics

[BillCartwright]

Spent 2 1/2 days hunting Nebraska and another day across the Missouri river hunting South Dakota. I was on birds all day, every day. Pretty unbelievable. I can't recall ever having only 1 tom come in. They were either in pairs, threes, fives or seven!!! I took birds on the first, third and fourth mornings. The birds were pretty henned up, but pretty responsive none the less. Weather was rain, sun/clouds and wind. Lots of wind. I have two of the three birds killed on film, plus a lot of other footage of strutting, jakes whipping up on gobblers, and setups where birds were just out of range. It was a great trip and one that I believe I'm going to make again next year. I probably seen between 20 and 30 jakes on several different properties, so there should be a ton of 2 year olds next year.

Here are a few in the field photos. I will post harvest pics after I have them scanned in and depict my hunts. Enjoy.

Thanks guys. Took me a year longer to accomplish because of a divorce, but it was worth the wait.

hatracked,
If I'm looking at the same thing as you, that is one of those bail blinds sitting up on a trailer.
