Read it in the paper. I'm thinking he was at a christiansburg nwtf banquet at the time. I'm thinking he's the same guy. I think he's talked to jimmy. Mention that next time you talk, see if its him.

I'd never even heard of a 49 state national slam.

That would take 5 states per year for nearly 10 years straight, to get it done in 10 years, and it sounds like some guys have done it in less than 10 years.

Talk about someone deserving a standing ovation!!! :z-winnersmiley:

I'll give him a call later this week and see. Daniel, Scott, and I are hitting new Hampshire and Vermont first week of may before black flies get too terrible.

I appreciate it bud. Definitely a tough task between when you're short on time between the states you hunt. Two years ago I miss in three states, which now I have to go back to. And these states are lottery states. I get too tore up when these dang turkeys come in. Guess I'll give it up when I lose that feeling ;) happy holidays bud!

Bottomland just looks classy.  So does the shotgun.

Some mighty fine shootin' irons you have there sir; a big congrats; how far along are you on the 49 state turkey killin'? let me know; once againg congrats and thanks for sharing.

I'm 26 down with 23 to go :) lll be hitting it hard this spring in a few area. I primarily hunt public ground so I got tons of areas of interest if anyone need help. I put in countless hours since 2006 to get this far. I'm halfway down and will be hitting the tougher states with lottery this season

Your sig line says 21 to go, and you said 23 to go above.  Which is it??

gobble157

you're right its 23...I set most of this up from my iphone using TAPATALK. Correction to be made  :you_rock:

Nice looking collection, Congrats.

Great looking guns. I love the bottomlands camo. I was thinking about a Browning for an auto. I haven't had one for quite a while. Slight preference to pumps but I'm getting out of it ha ha. I need one to double for ducks.
Strut. Gobble. Die.

A great gathering of feather slayers..congrats; I can't imagine a 49 state slam; I am just now getting around to getting the grand slam but I will try doing it with a bow; that alone is going to be extremely tough; hope you nothing but the best of luck; thanks for sharing your bird collectors; mighty fine for sure.
