I have been adding a new state to the list each spring, not trying for the slam just like new turf, and most of it is a convenient location for the most part!

Probably run out of convenient spots pretty soon at this rate, but I don't care, will just hunt different spots in some of the same states!

I like seeing the new territory too.  I'll never try for the US slam.  It seems to take some of the fun out of learning new places.  They have to rush to get another state marked off, I like a slower pace.  But power to them, the time, money and effort to get a US slam is big.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

i'm not doing a US slam necessarily but if i do, it'll be a life long thing. i'm 29 now and i think i have maybe around 10.

with that said, i don't know that i'd want to go back to mississippi again

I have loose plans made but always subject to change. I'll be hunting somewhere any time I can

I've not given it any thought.   I'll probably put a plan together about February.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

A lot of my longer trips out of state get planned last minute. All depends on when I called back to work in the spring. Sometimes it's march sometimes it's the end of April. The trip duration is based on phone calls to the boss on Fri to see how the next week's schedule looks.

I've got four states (other than my own) on my "wish list" for next spring.  One is already arranged.  One is a late-season fallback depending on my time allowances and my attitude. 

The other two require more planning, a flight, rental vehicles, and all the other associated accommodations and logistics,...and I will start making those a couple of months before going.  There are just too many "unknowns" between now and next spring for me to start getting too much into making any firm plans for those long-distance excursions. 

In addition, you never know when a few buddies on OG will say,..."Hey, let's all get together somewhere next spring and go huntin'".  One has to be prepared for those possibilities, as well!   :D ;D
