Illinois turkey hunter joins elite company in accomplishing Super Slam

As he was telling the story of how he managed to accomplish one of hunting’s most impressive and impractical feats, Jack Robertson was quietly sweating out the task of helping a fellow hunter reach a goal of his own.
There was a tiny wince in his voice. Keep in mind that Robertson, a “mostly retired” business owner and still-emerging hunting legend in central Illinois, is now one of only 20 people to officially complete the National Wild Turkey Federation’s “Super Slam” – a task that requires a turkey harvest in each of the 49 states that has a turkey season.
