I've had this idea in my head for a couple of years now,and realized it's not that far off.I live in WV and have wanted to kill a gobbler in each of the states that border me.I've already got KY,MD now I'm going to try VA this year.This might sound a bit crazy to some but I love to hunt other states and this just seems like a fun way to do it.

That's called a Hillbilly Slam ! :icon_thumright:
Well if that's a slam I'm half done. Need TX, NM, and AR...Might be kinda fun to try it.
Ive always wanted to do the Missouri slam:
2 spring gobblers
2 fall gobblers
2 fall archery gobblers
HaHa! I like the name,anybody else have a hillbilly slam?
I live in Missouri, so thats a lot of boardering states :turkey2:

same for TN (8 states border)
I'm trying for the Arizona Slam three of the five sub-species including Gould's Merriam's and Rio's, I have the Gould's and the Merriam's all I need is the Rio the big problem with that is the game and fish here only offers two tags for Rio's each year.
My slam is.. NY,NJ,Pa. I'm thinking of trying Md this season.
I'd go broke buying liscence if I hunted all the state bordering Tennessee. KY,GA,AL,MS,VA,MO,AR & NC. Would be fun tho. It might be cheaper to go for a grand slam.
That's a good idea . :turkey2:

:TooFunny: :TooFunny: Nice. Good luck on your quest Earlybird......
8 states bordering Missouri. Lets see...Kansas and Nebraska would be fairly affordable. Tennessee and Kentucky not too bad just a lil more travel time. Arkansas and Oklahoma...same deal. Only problems would be Iowa (pricey tag and have to draw) and Illinois (I don't feel like donating my money to their state govt)
I have one slam right now - TN
I like it, set your goal and get after it! Good luck chasing long beards this spring...
Denny's has the grand slam breakfast , it's the only slam I'm interested in :morning:
But I do like traveling to new places and putting a dent in the population

. Touché Shannon.
I really want to do a U.S. slam. Partially (ok, mostly) because of my obsession for hunting turkeys but also because I just love seeing other parts of the country. I've hunted 5 states for turkeys and will add another to that list this year and already have plans to add 3 more next year.
