Grand Slam Achieved: Patience Pays Off on Opening Morning Turkey Hunt

This is fantastic, now what!?

Going after one more and some thermal hog hunting. Heading out tonight to see if we see any hogs. Thanks brother.@Nate

Congratulations!

@Brandon Thanks man. It was a great hunt.🦃👍🏻

That is awesome man, congratulations 🦃. Wish you luck with the second bird and smoke all the hogs you see, no shortage of them around here that’s for sure.

Congratulations Tom very nice bird

@Ricky Thanks, brother. Gonna try.

@Ted Thanks, brother. These Osceolas are tough birds to hunt. They like to hang out in the middle of these big pastures. I was patient and let them work back and forth until they got just into range. My Benelli 20ga. with an extended turkey choke and TSS ammo hammered him at 60 yards. My longest turkey kill in all my years turkey hunting.

Hopefully birds are active in ohio this years been seeing quite a few driving around

It’s been tough hunting the last couple years. @ Ted Fisher

@Ted Sure hope so. It’s been tough the last couple years.

Yeh I only made it out couple times last year dad passed last February did have the ambition to go he’s the one who got me turkey hunting and always waited to hear my stories after he wasn’t able to go anymore kind of rough

Good job, Florida is fun to hunt! Come back for deer season!

@Ted I totally understand. I’ll be a mess when Dad isn’t around anymore. Almost lost him just before the whole Covid thing. Blessed the good Lord gave me more time with him. Sorry for your loss, brother.🙏🏻

@Chuck Thanks, brother. It sure is.

Thanks slowly getting back on track

Nice congrats

@Danny Thank you, sir. Good luck

Congratulations, Tom!! I knew you'd get that accomplished! Well done! Gorgeous bird 🤜🏼🤛🏼

@Lisa Thanks Lisa. Heading back out now. Rain coming at noon. My buddy is behind the gun, this morning. Hope to get him on a gobbler before the rain.

Wonderful times! I hope your buddy is successful & before the 🌧☔️💧

Thanks. Pretty windy here, this morning. Just starting to break daylight. Have a great day.@Lisa
