My brother and I have always talked about trying to go for a a slam. We have both harvested a bunch of easterns but no other species. We would like to start on a slam in 2013 with a Rio or Merriam's. We will probably have to hunt with an outfitter due to time restraints with work. Can only get away for a few days. Does any body have any recommendations for reasonable outfitters in a state where you can kill multiple birds on the same trip? We have looked into NE a little bit. Open to any suggestions. No preference on Rio or Merriams as we have never harvested either species.
Thanks!
I have gone to WY the last two years. The first year was to hunt for the second part of my slam. this year was because I had so much fun with the guide on year one. I'm booked for next year already but haven't picked a date yet.My first year http://imgur.com/a/bsVnc My second year http://imgur.com/a/AThNC The first year I flew to Denver and then drove 6 or 7 hours north to hunt. This year a friend and I drove out and back. Here's a link http://www.wfoutfitter.com/index.htm If I can help further just PM me.
Thanks CamoTruck. Those are some good pictures.
Don't want to steal any work from guides but just wanted to throw the idea out there that tags are over the counter with a lot of public land out West. If you decide to try Utah I could help you out. The over the counter tags run from late April to the end of May. The early season here is on a draw system. My hunting partners and I do all of our hunts on public land. We just camp out and usually spend two weeks each spring chasing gobblers in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Arizona is on a draw system also. If I cam be of any help give me a shout.
The outfitter we hunt hunt with guides in KS and NEB... In NEB you can kill both Rios and Merriams. In Kansas you can kill Easterns and Rios If you want some contact info I can get it to you. Im working on his website right now, so it is currently down... Just PM me if you are interested!
what slam are you going for Grand or Royal I can help you for Merriam's in Arizona or New Mexico or Gould in Arizona without hiring a guide.
