Grand, Royal, World, Mexican and Canadian Slams
One of the biggest feats in turkey hunting is completing a slam. There are three recognized slams in turkey hunting: Grand, Royal and World. The NWTF has compiled a list of people who have completed each slam. The wild turkey records database accumulates records on all wild turkeys currently or previously registered to determine who has achieved Grand, Royal or World Slams. The completion of a slam does not require the kills to take place in a single calendar year.
• Grand Slams
Eastern, Rio Grande, Merriam's and Osceola (Florida) birds
• Royal Slams
Four subspecies listed above in addition to the Gould's bird
• World Slams
Five subspecies listed above in addition to the Ocellated wild turkey
• Mexican Slams
Mexican Slam consists of the following birds harvested in Mexico only: Rio
Grande, Gould's and Ocellated.
• Canadian Slams
Canadian Slam consists of harvesting the Eastern and Merriam's bird in the
following provinces: Ontario, Quebec, Mantoba, Alberta or British Columbia
