Turkey Slam.

[Elkpiss]

Just curious to how many people on here have got the slam on this site, Multi-single season?  I need a couple rio's and I would have 2 muti's.. ive gone for it one year for a single season and came up short with the Rio and time.. That was years ago when i had the time to do that and gas wasnt as much... Just curious, wish i could take a whole month off to chase thunder chickens.. its addicting as hell... I think Turkey Hunting is exactly like elk hunting tactically wise so its a good tune up..

I got a single season in 1998.  I know of a few other guys that have done it more than I.  I will do it again with my son..just not right now.  Maybe in the next couple seasons we will try.  That eastern is the toughy!  Well for some of us anyways!

Few times. Takes time and money.

I have hunted easterns twice for the slam but never connected, my dad got his in 98'  and my cousin got his slam in 04'.  His bird he got on that trip had just under 1 1/2" spurs and an 11 1/4" beard

eastern get great spurs and thick beards. Love hunting Easterns first bird i killed turkey hunting in Washington in 1993

I am 1 turkey away from the world slam.  Just need the Osceola.

tried for the Osceola in 2002 no luck for me went to late in the season.

A couple of years I have gone two of three, eastern+merriams, rio+merriams, merriams+eastern... so I guess multi-year has come and gone, just haven't managed to close the trifecta in one year.  I never did the official thing, not even sure how.  I think it says how in the regs but I'm too lazy to bother I guess.

Got my 1st. Multi season last year, finally boppin' a Rio. Just never have the money to go all out. So stick closer to home and chase Merriam's and Easterns mostly.

Although I've harvested numerous Merriams and Rios, I've made rookie mistakes a number of times with Easterns ....

I think getting a slam is a real accomplishment that is kinda over looked in the hunting world.. Especially in this state, the Eastern in obviously tough as hell to get but just getting the time to chase them all down is another demon.. I would kill the eastern fist then go after a the Merriam and hopefully kill him quick then go after the Rio.. Or do it completely backwards, and hopefully kill a quick Merriam and Rio so you can spend more time chasing an Eastern cause there so tough to get.. Definitely not an easy task and I think the single season slams are a Huge accomplishment.. A single slam is definitely on my bucket list...

Down to needing an Osceola to complete a multi-year slam.  But at a minimum of $1,250 for a semi-guided hunt plus airfare etc.  Might be a few more years before I give it a try.  Have had fun hunting out of state in NE & NW Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, SW Oregon and now planning a hunt to SW Nebraska this year.

Go get the easy Merriam first. Then get the rather easy Rio. This can be easily done in a week. Spend the rest of the season on the Eastern, which is closest to you anyway. If you've scouted an Eastern and feel you have a decent chance, then give him the first day.

One (1) single and two (2) multi-season slams.

I would suggest just the opposite.  Get the Eastern first.  They are in my opinion, easier to kill at the front end of the season.  Many years they could care less in mid to late May.  My experience anyway.  If you get the Eastern first, you have a chance, but as we all know, it's still turkey hunting.

However, MtnMuley's advice can also work.  Either way, you'll need some good ol' luck somewhere along the way.
