Congratulations !!! On his first turkey and the Eastern Wild Turkey !
After more than 20 years trying, if I finally do shoot an Eastern bird, I would no longer hunt them for myself. I would only take other people hunting to get their one Eastern bird. Also, I think if a hunter takes someone else out who gets an Eastern, both hunters should get credit for the WA Slam when they each get a Rio and a Merriam's., too.
Maybe that would take some pressure off the birds on the West side.
