Nope but I hope to...how far do I have to go, all 4...been shooting them with shotgun but have yet to take my first gobbler with a bow...I hope to take my first, an Eastern this year...then I'll work on the Osceola, Reo and then the Merrian...probably go for the Goulds and off to the UP for the Oscelated(sp)....

I have several friend that have taken multiple species of Gobblers but none of them have completed their Grand Slam yet. Actually a couple of them just don't really have much of an intrest in hunting the Florida Turkey to complete it. One buddy of mine, instead of completing his "Slam" he continues to return to NB and SD to hunt Merriams Gobblers.
Myself, I've only taken Easterns with my bow but next year I may have the chance to hunt Rio's in TX. After this I am going to try hard for a SD Merriams. I think a "Slam" with a bow would be an awesome feat to pull off!

That's because he have a lot of turkeys here in Nebraska....and some are rather large. The place that I am going hunting this weekend has toms that will top 25 or 26 pounds. I just bought a bow a few months ago and am going turkey hunting for the first time ever, with my bow. If things go well, I am going to try to complete my Grand Slam with a bow. It's tough to do, I would think, but it's always worth it.

Yup, we're keeping it clean. I do mean "HUNTING" for sheep. Most sheep are the real deal; Dall's, Stone's, and Bighorn. It's the Desert Bighorn that you have to make sure you are hunting.
