As many of you know we book a few hunts other than our own with outfitter friends from Africa to Alaska. These hunts all have one thing in common.... top quality high success hunting with great people.
The success rate on our Merriam's turkey hunts is second to none. It can be summed up quite simply: Everyone gets their opportunity. Since 2002, we have maintained a 2 bird success rate of 182% with 225% shot opportunity! A one bird success rate of 95% with 142% shot opportunity.
It's pretty hard to do any better than that unless you start shooting them out of a cage. Since 1991 this outfitter has been providing ridiculously high success rate merriam's turkey hunts to their guests. With so many hunters traveling to complete Grand, Royal and World slams, our camps have become the most popular and successful camps for hunters in search of a merriams turkey.
The success rate has been so good that they started guaranteeing the spring shotgun turkey hunts. We want you to know that this is no ordinary turkey hunt. Not only are you going to experience exceptional hospitality, plenty of elbow room on 70,000 acres, scenic properties, and excellent meals and accomodations, but you are also going to have plenty of opportunity to harvest your gobbler!
This guaranteed turkey hunt has caused quite a fuss. We've had hunters and outfitters call us to ask us why or how we can make such a guarantee. The fact is, we can make that guarantee because of our tremendous bird numbers. Time and time again our guests comment that they've never seen or heard so many turkeys and didn't know that such a turkey hunting mecca existed.
THE GUARANTEE:
Quite simply.... "If you do not get a shot opportunity at a mature gobbler while on a spring shotgun turkey hunt with us, you come back, on us for a one bird hunt within two years."
How can we possibly make such a guarantee?
Well, the fact is we would not be able to if it weren't for the fact that we probably have the highest turkey density in the Nation! In fact, since 1991 we have only had to bring back 1 hunter out of nearly 1000 of the guests that we've hosted in all of our camps.
We simply have an incredible number of birds!!
