My buddy and I are looking to do a trip for the Slam. We're both from Michigan, and were looking to try and do it all in one season. The season runs later up here than other states, startingtowardthe end of April and ending May 31st.

We were thinking of Central or South Florida for the Osceola. I was looking at Oklahoma for the Merriams and Rios. I've found that there are some Merriams in the extreme NW corner of the panhandle. I was looking to double up OK to save on license fees and travel time. My buddy has a fifth wheel camper we would take, so hotels wouldn't be an issue. Looking for public land, but possibly private land if the trespassing fees aren't high. Not looking to use any guides.

I was wondering if anyone that hunts in these areas could give some advice on good locations, the bird populations, and any other useful information. Thanks for the help.
