Iwant to avoid hybrids, the slam is a personal quest, maybe I'dconsider registering it at some point later on but that's not the reason I'm pursuing it.

When it's gone right for me, I swear it's been the best hunt I've been on, after viewing the other varieties I just think the eastern is one of the least colorful, I really like those white tips, which is why I want to go after a rio or merriam's next, also that they're closer to where I'm at, someday I figure I'll have to fly to FL, and AZ/NM/Mexico for a gould's ? and then the yucatan perhaps? hunting a turkey in mexico is a long way's off though.
