The 2018 NM youth turkey season started out with a big success. Maddie McElwee tagged out on her first gobbler in the Gila on the last day of the hunt. Great job, Maddie!

THE SLAMS

"A slam is considered one of the biggest feats in turkey hunting. A hunter must harvest each species or subspecies of wild turkey listed under one of the six recognized slams in turkey hunting to complete a slam. If you want to test your turkey hunting skills and abilities, aim to complete one or all six slams.

Grand Slam

All four U.S. Subspecies (Eastern, Osceola or Florida, Rio Grande and Merriam’s)

Royal Slam

The Grand Slam plus the Gould’s (found in Mexico and limited areas of the Southwest)

World Slam

Royal Slam plus the ocellated wild turkey (found in Mexico and Central America)

Canadian Slam

Harvesting the Eastern and Merriam’s in any Canadian province (Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta or British Colombia)

Mexican Slam

Rio Grande, Gould’s and ocellated wild turkey harvested in Mexico only

U.S. Super Slam

Harvest one wild turkey subspecies in every state except Alaska"
