Anyone know of a booking agent that handles hunters looking to do the turkey slam. Any experiences or leads appreciated. The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | ||

Taxidermist David Luke in Breaux Bridge Louisiana takes several groups to Mexico for Oscillated usually in March. I got mine with him. He also takes several groups to Mexico for Gould’s I’m going with him next April. He can help you with the rest. The thing about him is that he has several dates a year with the best outfitters in Mexico and those dates are exclusively for him and his hunters. He is usually in the camp for all the hunts and prepares all the birds for taxidermy. Very good contact for the slam. He has several slams himself. BUTCH C'est Tout Bon (It is all good) | |||

Contact Bill Farley, at Farley's Adventures...he's literally taken turkeys in every single state in the country, Mexico, etc. He's your guy IMO. | |||

I hate to post here to show my stupidity, but what the hell is a turkey slam? Never heard of such a thing and I hunt turkey every April in Kansas. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Cal... a relatively new item in the SCI Awards Program. I am surprised they do not have a Ratite Slam.  ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

If one is a Turkey hunter , they know what the slam is and it has nothing to do with SCI. Check Jeff Budz. He is the king of the slams. | |||

Thanks, Larry. So the gent above who takes hunters to Mexico are not looking for a slam if the turkey is hunted in Mexico? _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Generally, the slam is taking the eastern, Merriam, rio and Osceola. I believe there is a second slam that includes the Gould’s and the oscillated as well. The latter is called a world slam. | |||

Cal the Gould’s can be taken in Arizona and New Mexico but it is a limited draw and hard to get. That’s why most people choose to go to Mexico to harvest one. They are also one of the larger subspecies of Turkey. | |||

Are their turkeys beyond those 6? | |||

There are bush turkeys in Australia, but they aren't a turkey at all, they are something else. Saw them in far north Queensland. | |||

We can help you with the Merriam’s in Wy and the Rio in Texas. Fully booked for 2022 though. | |||

I’ve seen oscellated turkeys many times in Guatemala. They are pretty small, compared with the turkeys we have here in Wisconsin, but they are really beautiful. Quite colorful, sort of like a peacock. | |||
