Tim Herald lives in Lexington, KY and has been hunting since he was six years old. He has hunted and fished all over the U.S., Mexico, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Canada and New Zealand, and has harvested 20 wild turkey Grand Slams and 1 Royal Slam. In 2003 Tim took a double Grand Slam; one with a muzzleloading shotgun, one with a modern shotgun. Herald was only the 11th person on record to complete a single season blackpowder Grand Slam, and only the 3rd on record to complete both a blackpowder and modern shotgun Grand Slam in one spring. Herald finished out 2003 by taking both a bull elk and whitetail deer with his muzzleloader that qualified for the record book.  In 2006, Herald completed his first wild turkey Grand Slam with a bow.  

After receiving a Master’s degree in Natural Resource Conservation, Tim has shared his experiences afield through the many newspaper and magazine articles that he has written (credits include, Turkey Call, SPORTS AFIELD, Wildfowl, Turkey & Turkey Hunting, Deer & Deer Hunting, North American Hunter, Peterson’s Bowhunting, etc.). Herald is a member of the Southeast Outdoor Press Association, is the “Destination Deer” columnist  in Whitetail Journal and writes the “Bowhunting Tactics” column for Bowhunt America. In 2001, Tim’s first book Gobblers I Have Known…The Evolution and Ramblings of a Turkey Hunter was published. Herald now owns and operates a hunt consulting service (www.grandslamhunts.com). In his capacity as the Marketing Manager for Under Armour as well as a pro staff member for Knight & Hale Game Calls, Thompson Center Arms, BowTech, ThermaCell, Horn Hunter Packs, Carbon Express Arrows, Winner’s Choice Bowstrings, and Nikon Optics, Tim particularly enjoys teaching newcomers to hunting the calling concepts and decoy strategies that will make them successful in the field. Tim has conducted seminars throughout the U.S. and has also been featured in many major outdoor publications, television and radio shows, hunting videos, as well as ads, catalogs and commercials for various outdoor companies. Along with frequent appearances on television programs such as Realtree Roadtrips, Mossy Oak’s Hunting the Country, Knight and Hale’s Ultimate Hunting, North American Hunter, etc., Herald joined the staff of the Hunters Journal Television Show on the Outdoor Channel in 2003. Tim was added to the panel of 2006-2007 pros for Whitetail Country (ESPN2 Sunday mornings), and co-hosted LimbSaver Outdoors in 2007 on the Men’s Channel. Wolf Creek Productions recently announced that Herald and good friend Scott Haugen will host the award winning Outdoor America in 2008.
