Multiple State Outfitters

I am looking for outfitters who have property in multiple states. I'm in the early stages of working on a state slam, and would like to find a few options to knock out 2 states in one trip. Do any of you have any recommendations you would share? Please pm if you had rather not post openly. Thanks

I can tell you who NOT to go with. Stateline Trophy Outfitters.
"I don't hunt turkeys because I want to. I hunt turkeys because I have to."

I booked a 3 state hunt through Pro Outfitters and my guide never showed up. I tried to track him down and got zilch. I went solo on public land in Missouri and had a ball. It wasn't the 3 species or state trip I had planned, but Missouri folks are awesome. Except for the RAT that hosed me. Just info, Al Baker :fud:

Stay away from Pro Outfitters. He put us out trespassing unknown to us, hunted us behind his guided hunters after telling us they were fresh farms, lied that we would be the only folks in camp if I brought 6 total people, took deposits from guys I know back in me and did not hunt them last year (actually called them and told them not to come due to weather) they did hear back from him this year and supposedly gonna get to hunt? Just bad business all the way around.

I did kill 2 turkeys there, but trust me, it was not the hunt I was sold.

Ridge,

Thanks for your opinion piece. You know what they say about opinions. As much as I would love to go gallavanting across the country mopping up public land birds every spring, I unfortunately don't have time for that.

I'm lucky to have 6 consecutive days to travel on a hunt in the spring. That more or less means 2 for travel, and 4 to kill 2 birds. That leaves me with a small margin of error which I am assuming you are calling the "process." I'm not sure where you became the authority on what achieving the US slam was about, but I'm pretty sure that I will enjoy each and every bird along the way whether it's public or private.

Again, thanks for your opinion, but that's not what I asked for.

Ridge

Again, it was not my intention to ruffle any feathers, and I apologize for doing so. I have no "authority" on the subject at all, just my opinion as stated. Also, it might be helpful to know what states/areas you're interested in. Do you have any preferences to location or subspecies being chased? Are you wanting to drive or are you willing to fly? Or are you just looking for any 2 states?

crenshawco

I don't really have any preference on location or sub species. I've killed a few slams so none of that really concerns me anymore. I've killed birds in AL, MS, TN, FL, OK, KS, NE, SD, WY. I'm up for any others.

You might want to check out Joe Conyers. I haven't hunted with him, but he has a good reputation.

I have the same goal. Maybe we can share info along the way. I hope to be adding OH and WV this year.
Check out RDs whitetails in Indiana and Brute Buck Outfitters in KY. I have friends that have hunted both places and brag on each. Good luck this season.  Also, Cherry Tree outfitters in MO or State Line Bone Mine also in MO. Both are good but Josh with Cherry Tree is a turkey killer for sure.
