2025 Gould's Turkey Hunting Season Results





 We are midway thru our 2025 Gould's Turkey Season in Mexico.  See what some of our 2025 Gould's hunters have said about their experiences below: 


Taylor Wetzel writes, “We had a great trip!  My guides, Darr and Parker are good dudes.  The ranch was beautiful and the food was great.  Benito was a big hit with all of us.  I can’t say enough about the whole operation.  Well done, indeed.”


Thomas Mathieu writes, “Let me tell you, it was better than good.  One of the finest hunting trips we have been on. So impressed with every aspect. From the informative pre trip checklist to the very end, it was better than advertised. Truly a lift in memory for us! Thanks so much for providing us with a fantastic experience. Guides Darr and Parker were a class act, and Benito and his family provided wonderful accommodations and food. We loved them!  Just a heck of a fine trip”


Ricky Bohatka writes “We had a great time! Nate is great at what he does. The ranch was amazing! You guys sure have everything together from transportation to and from the airport to the ranches and you definitely know where the birds are!! We had an amazing time and will be back forsure! Thank you Jay Scott and staff for everything! I completed my single season royal slam and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you and Nate!”


Chris Cypert writes “I had never been on a guided hunt before and was a little uncertain, especially given my strong passion for turkey hunting. But I must say that guides Hunter Haynes and Kade Purser with Jay Scott Outdoors made my first experience one to remember. For all those who are looking for a great and Safe Goulds turkey hunt, look no further. This is your place.”


Phil Baney writes “Thank you for a great hunt. It was a challenge with the high winds but that makes it that much sweeter when you persevere and succeed. Jay, I appreciate all the staff did and both of you as well to try to help us work through the conditions of the hunt. You guys went above and beyond!  You know you can never control the weather or the idiosyncrasies of game animals. When my friends ask about it, I can tell them where to go for an excellent Goulds hunt.  Thanks for a great experience!”


Brenda Henderson writes “My husband and I hunted Goulds turkeys in Mexico this week with Jay Scott Outdoors. Great hunt! Highly recommend this outfitter.”


Barry Henderson writes “Got both our turkeys first night.  I appreciate the way the staff accommodates archery hunters. Thanks so much for making this a great hunt!”


Shane Sparks writes, “The Good Lord blessed me with a Mexico Goulds Turkey #1 for Mexico which is #9 for the season. He weighed 22 Ibs and had 3/4 inch spurs. This is a beautiful Mexico Goulds which completes the final leg of the Royal Slam in 50 days. I decided to make this trip after I talked to Jay Scott with Jay Scott Outdoors last week and see if we could plan it out. The scenery is beautiful down there in Mexico. I would like to thank my guide Jose Chavez, Phil Cramer and Jay Scott for an unforgettable hunt that will always be remembered. These guys are top notch and work extremely hard for you to have a great experience.”


Tim Hardin writes “We just returned from a very successful Gould’s hunt in Mexico with Jay Scott.  I wanted to brag on the whole operation, start to finish.  Hunter and Kyle made it happen and I put on weight from Betos’s kitchen.  Can’t thank you enough for the great time!”

 

Tammy Henegar writes “Jay Scott Outdoors is professional and very in tune with making your Goulds Turkey hunt a memorable one! We were well prepared ahead of our trip based on their advice and we had no issues crossing into Mexico for our first visit. We heard gobbles almost immediately upon setting up and our guide called one in within minutes on first day for my son Braedan. Incredible hunt!”


John McCoy writes “ Back in the USA from the Mexico Goulds hunt.  Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciated the way Kyle, Hunter and Beto conducted themselves and the effort they put into making our hunts enjoyable and successful.  I completed a double grand slam in 2005 and set my mind on the Royal Slam as well as the World Slam.  So you can see that hunting the Goulds has been a 20 year dream come true. Since 2005 I have hunted turkeys in 18 states with nearly as many outfitters so I do have a baseline for what to expect from a guide and recognize when guides are going the extra mile.  Your team provided every bit of my expectations. I had an absolutely amazing time. Mexico countryside is so beautiful. ”


Eric Clay write “Can’t thank you guys enough for an awesome hunt. You guys are top notch in every category- hospitality, logistics, and woodsman-ship.  I couldn’t have experienced a more perfect way to kill my Goulds turkey.  Blake and I pulled off a classic no decoy, run and gun hunt.

I appreciate everything I learned from David’s talks of sheep and antelope hunts and the infinite wisdom that Phil shared from all of his years of successful turkey hunting. 

First class operation and I will recommend to every serious hunter I know.  Can’t wait to return when my son is old enough!”


Stuart Taylor writes “My recent experience with Jay Scott Outdoors in Mexico for Gould’s turkey was fantastic! The area was spectacular with big vistas, and we saw a lot of turkey on the ranch every time we went out.  My guides, David and Riccardo, were very knowledgeable and worked very well together as a team.  On my first hunt, we had so many birds working us in the morning, I lost count. It was amazing! No shooters in range, but what a show. I was joined by another hunter for the evening hunt, and we both killed beautiful gobblers in about an hour and a half. All that was on day one. The ranch buildings themselves were very comfortable, and the meals were exceptional. I couldn't have been happier with the overall experience!”


Deane Flickinger (Snood Platoon) writes, “First Timer for a Gould’s.

Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and extremely safety oriented.  Jay Scott Outdoors/Gouldsturkeyhunt run an impressive operation in areas where photos hardly do their beauty justice and the ranches are prime for hunting.  I along with eight others, successfully harvested our first Gould’s on this trip of a lifetime, three of whom checked the box on a Royal slam.  

From the communication leading up to the hunt months before, to transportation and logistics and ensuring a fun and successful hunt, they can’t be beat.  Not to mention their professional caping and game trophy preservation abilities.

The guides in camp with us were pretty handy with a camera as well and if you’ve never had your hunt captured on film, you’re missing out!!  If you’re on the fence about booking a Gould’s turkey hunt, perhaps because media outlets have you afraid of international travel or you are just scared of having an amazing hunting experience, just give one of these guys a call or seek out somebody who has been and it will put you at ease!  

Thank you Phil Cramer and crew for facilitating a trip of a lifetime brother.”


Brian McCleary writes, “Goulds Turkey Hunts and Jay Scott Outdoors provided one of the best hunts of my life. They are well organized, great at communicating and super friendly…..not to mention incredible meals, awesome guides and tons of turkeys!!!”


Steve Kelly Jr. writes,“Hunting with Phil Cramer and his team at GouldsTurkeyHunt was world class! Their communication before we left was stellar and they made sure our transportation to the hunt lodge was smooth. Once we arrived we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Enjoyed some wonderful mornings watching the birds and our whole group tagged out before it was time to leave. I would definitely recommend going on this adventure with their group. Excellent trip! “


Kevin Hinson writes, “Would like to express my appreciation to Jay Scott and his team, 4 of us from Tennessee have dreamed of hunting the Gould’s turkey for years! The experience we had was unreal from the ride into the mountains to watching these turkeys strut in to the decoys was amazing! Our guide Kade Purser was the best! Thanks for making our dreams come true!🦃


Scott Callaghan writes, “Fantastic experience from flawless logistics, experienced and personable guides, amazing ranch, and bountiful populations of mature beautiful birds. Couldn't have asked for anything more.”


Sean McGraw writes, “Jay Scott’s guys did an amazing job! I killed my first and second turkey this trip, so I will always remember it. Good food, great hunting. Thanks so much.”


Steve Kelly Sr. writes, “ Phil it was a pleasure turkey hunting with you and your crew.  I've hunted turkeys for over 40 years and you guys rank at the top for being organized professional and Killing beautiful gobblers thanks again Phil hope to hunt again with Goulds soon”


Adam Kates writes, “Phil, I just wanted to reach out to you guys and thank you for such a great time. The guides we had Kyle Combs and Hunter Haynes were fantastic and made everything extremely easy and enjoyable. I can honestly say I have never been around guides that were that accommodating. We will be booking with Jay Scott Outdoors again. 

Thank you!”


Tom Hazelton writes, “Jay, I'm just letting you know that I had an absolutely incredible hunt for my Goulds.

I have been hunting turkeys for almost 40 years but never experienced anything like I had with your outfit in Mexico. The number of mature toms was impressive. Every hunt we had multiple birds working in, not all of them committed, but the excitement couldn't be matched. Filling my tags was not an issue, having the hunt over too soon was.  Our guides were very knowledgeable, but more importantly, they were great guys to share a camp with.  I have been home for only two days but I am already working on booking with you again.”


Jason Weekly writes, “Awesome hunt from start to finish. Plenty of birds and knowledgeable guides. Totally awesome experience from start to finish. First Class!”


Patrick W writes ““Can’t even put into words how amazing the Gould’s trip was. Getting to not only hunt, but just observe unpressured birds in such a beautiful landscape was an unforgettable experience. Jay Scott and his guides do an amazing job. I’ll definitely be returning.” 


Mike Lee writes, "Hunting Goulds Turkey in Old Mexico with Jay Scott Outdoors exceeded all my expectations.  From logistics to the final photos in camp, guides Phil, Nate & Stephen made sure the experience was unforgettable.  I can say from experience that you won't regret choosing Jay and his crew to help fulfill your dream of the RoyalSlam.”

Lukas Evans writes, “I just wanted to take the time to tell you how exceptional our trip to our ranch was with our guides Nate and Stephen. I expected this trip to be top quality, but I could never have imagined what I experienced. The ranch, the hunting, the trip was beyond words. Both of our guides Nate and Stephen were beyond top quality. Not only were they very knowledgeable, but the way they were able to work the birds, blew me away. I couldn’t have felt more confident and comfortable being able to harvest my birds. Their professionalism exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this trip to anybody looking to have the experience of a lifetime. I will be back in the future and hopefully more than once.”


Jason Price writes, “I’m sitting here now at the Tucson airport waiting to catch my flight home and my mind started to reflect back on the experience I and the guys with me just had.

From the day I first reached out to Jay Scott about doing this trip until now everything you guys did exceeded my expectations. The planning, travel, accommodations, and especially the hunting was all anyone could ask for.  Kade and Kyle along with Blake were great in helping us get across the border both coming and going.  Thanks for the great experience and memories this trip gave us. I hope to do it again soon.


Karl Snider writes,”Bucket list hunt for the Goulds turkey to complete my Royal slam!

Harvey and I instantly fell in love with the Sierra Madre mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The views were just stunning and to watch big goulds turkeys strut in with the mountains in the background was something out of a dream or painting.

We enjoyed getting to know the cowboys on the ranch and we made new friends in camp and our guides were super. The food was great if you like spicy Mexican food, which I do.

The salsa would melt paint off the wall.  Glad to be home today but l've caught myself thinking about that beautiful ranch and the slow pace life those that live there enjoy. I will be back Lord willing.

Great job and thanks to all the guys at Jay Scott Outdoors for a well organized and safe trip to and from Mexico, I couldn't recommend them enough if the goulds is on your bucket list”


Mark Stillions writes, “Good Morning: Here’s a thought about JSO( Jay Scott Outdoors ::  I had plans on fulfilling my Royal Slam in 2023. Ended up with Cancer . Got delayed until 2025. Mr. Jay Scott under stood this and allowed me to  keep my date open. So off I went 5-4-2025. And folks this was a hunt I will never ever forget. His Guides - Ranch’s- Food - are Top Notch A1. The easy of getting back and forth between USA and Mexico- was an understatement Jay and his Team made it easy. I shot my Gould (Beautiful 1). And Again Jay and his Team made it easy for me to get back to the USA (earlier) as it was close to Mothers Day- and My 90 year old Mom was on her way to see Heaven. It’s the things like this that make it Special- yes it’s about me getting my Royal- But more Importantly Jay allowing me leave camp early is just as Important! Can’t say enough Good things about this Outfitter! Folks who are looking for A Gould or Slam THIS IS YOUR OUTFITTER- JAY SCOTT ! Thank You from the bottom of my Heart ”


Cody Sorrell writes, “Just finished up our trip with Jay Scott Outdoors @gouldsturkeyhunt.com and it was a trip of a lifetime. The communication from the very beginning until we landed back in our home state was incredible. Blake and Stephen did an amazing job putting us on birds in less than ideal weather conditions.(40-50mph winds) Getting the birds across the border was a breeze with them having every piece of the puzzle ready for us. (A few other hunters from another outfitter missed their connecting flights due to not having correct paperwork at customs) Blake captured some amazing footage but I can tell you that watching on video doesn’t even compare to some of the scenery and views we had during our hunt. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!”


Lowe Morrison writes, “Thanks for an incredible fourth Gould’s turkey hunting experience with Gould’s Turkey Hunt and Jay Scott Outdoors.  This is my third hunt on your beautiful Chihuahua ranches.

My group included three first-time Gould’s hunters and all of them were so impressed with their hunts.

As our personal guide, it was fun to watch the very professional way Phil set us up for each hunt.  Getting to watch the other hunters take their gobblers is very exciting and such an added bonus.

My own hunt where I took two gobblers was an amazing morning.  You were able to call in five mature gobblers to our position in just a few minutes.   After passing a longer shot on a total stud Gould’s,  I was able to take one of a pair of gobblers then finish on another that you called back.

We all appreciate the details that are handled to make the whole Mexican travel and hunting experience so safe and enjoyable.  Our camp was a lovely cabin nestled on a ranch with a wonderful local cook.  

The hardest part of this experience is leaving the hunt behind with wonderful memories, pictures and new friends made.  I’m looking forward to planning my fifth Gould’s hunting trip with you in the near future.”


Johnny Porter writes, “I just came back from the Sierra Madre mountains in Chihuahua Mexico where I finished my Royal Slam.

Hunting with Jay Scott Outdoors was definitely a hunt of a lifetime. Some of the most beautiful country you will ever see and the food and lodging was great. If you're interested in getting your Gould turkey in Mexico contact Phil Cramer with Jay Scott Outdoors you will not regret it”


Daniel Porter writes “Just finished my Royal Slam in Chihuahua, Mexico with GouldsTurkeyHunt.com and Jay Scott.  It was a hunt and experience of a lifetime. Always said I would go get my Gould turkey and be good but after going I am already planning on going back. If you love to hunt the wild Turkey I highly recommend that you make time to go experience it.”


Kayla St John writes, “Had a blast hunting Goulds Turkeys in Mexico for my 30th birthday with @gouldsturkeyhunt & @jayscottoutdoors  Thank you to our wonderful guides @cramerhunts & @kadepurser8 for putting us on these beautiful birds and the great hospitality! Tanner and I doubled up on my 30th birthday which made the trip even more special! Truly blessed & always humbled”


Greg Ray writes, “Thanks again for an incredible and memorable hunt in some of the most spectacular surroundings in all of God’s creation. Our trip was flawless and words are insufficient to describe the level of professionalism and attention to detail that Jay Scott and your guides provide your hunters.  You run your operation based on the highest level of faith and character and integrity and it shows over and over throughout the entire experience from planning to logistics to time in camp to the hunt itself.  I can’t imagine that there is an outfitter anywhere who runs a cleaner, more honest business. You always have your hunters on birds and while nothing is guaranteed when it comes to hunting, you seem to always find a way to deliver.  It stands to reason that any hunter who walks away disappointed from a hunt with you or your team is probably largely responsible for the outcome. Thank you again for another memorable hunt and I look forward to our next adventure together.”

I would absolutely recommend Jay Scott Outdoors/Gouldsturkeyhunt.com to anyone!”

Brett Grim writes, "Such a beautiful place! The scenery and a ranch rich in history! Hearing all the stories from the Ranch owner was a Treat... Where we hunted there was NO shortage of birds...plenty of opportunities... The authentic Mexican food was amazing.... I want to add, that I have hunted with many different Outfitters all over the world, Outfitters are notorious for not returning messages or leaving questions unanswered... Jay Scott and his crew always promptly responded to any question or concerns quickly, efficiently and timely... They were in constant contact and kept us up to date and informed every step along the way, even on our trip home... I can not say enough about how much I appreciated that... Thanks a bunch guys for a great hunt and experience...."

Mark Casper writes, "To say I was excited about this hunt is an understatement. Hunting Goulds in Mexico with the anticipation of completing my Royal Slam, my nerves were high. Jay and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with, clear communication leading up to and throughout the entire trip. Mexico, the beautiful ranch we hunted, turkeys galore, the fantastic guides, amazing food... every detail was top-notch. This was a trip of lifelong memories and new friendships, thanks to Jay Scott and his crew!"

Steve Bemke writes, "Absolutely exceeded my expectations. The hunting was phenomenal in some of the most amazing landscapes I've hunted turkeys. Jay Scott and his staff were so great to work with. This was my first hunt outside of the US and they made the entire experience smooth and comfortable through great communication before, during and after the hunt. I can't say enough about how great Jay and his team are, in handling the logistics of this hunt and making sure we were prepared and had everything we needed to focus on and enjoy an awesome hunting adventure I will never forget."

Nathan Hunt writes, “My testimonial: If you’ve never witnessed a sunrise glimmering through the tail fan of a strutting Goulds, your journey as a turkey hunter isn’t complete. Jay Scott and his team have a tremendous operation - Truly a turkey hunter’s paradise!”

Catie Hunt writes, “we’ve hunted with Jay Scott Outdoors multiple times now. The scenery is incredible and the turkey hunting is spectacular. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was to watch the entire flock pitch off the cliff faces above into our setup in the canyon. I’ll remember these hunts forever!”

John Drummond writes. "So many positive things that I could say about our trip, but I’ll summarize with the following: Our experience with Jay Scott Outdoors was 5 stars. Our guides, Phil and Blake, worked hard before, during, and after the hunt to make sure our trip was a success. JSO definitely under-promised and over delivered!  I want to share with you one of my favorite pictures from our trip. I love this picture because it reminds me of how Phil would meticulously fuss over every bird to make sure we got good photos. Just great attention to detail in all aspects of his job. I have so much respect for Phil and all that he does!

Lyle and Wesley Padgett write, “our experience with Jay Scott and his team was outstanding. The guides are exceptional and do all they can to make sure you have a successful hunt. From booking your travel to getting through customs, they help and walk you through the entire process. We highly recommend them if you are looking for an outfitter to pursue Goulds Turkeys.”

Kenny Dorsch writes, “Can’t say enough about how great of a time we had. I loved my guide Jose Luis! We can’t wait to come back and do it all over again with his crew. Beautiful ranch, amazing food, great birds….couldn’t have asked for a better trip”

Lowe Morrison writes, “thanks to Jay Scott and Phil Cramer for a fantastic third Gould’s hunt with your company. Phil Cramer pulled out every stop to get us all tagged out. The ranch was gorgeous and I have never seen that much turkey sign in my life. This hunting experience is 5 stars all the way and I’m already planning on my fourth trip.”

Doug Reed writes, “Royal slam complete.What an amazing experience. Just spent 5 days in Chihuahua Mexico hunting a Goulds turkey. I can’t thank my guide, Jose Luis, enough for an amazing hunt. He was on top of everything. He knew the land and birds extremely well. After getting to the ranch, he looked at a few trail cam pics and says “we have to sit here tonight“. I tagged out in about 2 and a half hours on my first sit. Then I got to spend the next couple of days talking with the ranch owner and exploring the 600,000 acre ranch while the other hunters got to fill their tags.

I have to say, Goulds Turkey Hunt is a top notch guide service. Everything was in order from the time you get off the plane until you get back on the plane to go home. The ranch I stayed at was beyond my expectations. The food and service was absolutely amazing. If you’re looking to do a Goulds hunt, this is the way to go.”

James “Hunter” Bass writes, “Can’t say enough good things about your operation from traveling and getting down there the communication with guides and transportation from the airport everything was perfect the food was great Kade was a phenomenal guide you can tell he has a true passion for goulds hunting and it’s not just a job he puts a lot of effort into making it a safe and successful hunt can’t wait to get back down there in the near future to hunt with him again.”

B. Jayson Henry writes, “I just returned from an epic turkey hunting adventure with Jay Scott. Everyone in our party of six got their Birds and we were able to fully enjoy the experience in the rugged beauty of Chihuahua Mexico. This beautiful turkey completed my Royal slam and I couldn't imagine doing it any other way that was Jay Scott and his group of guides. Thanks so much for the Memories.”

Chris Bishop writes, “Although Jay Scott’s reputation precedes himself, I can’t say enough about how amazing my trip for Goulds Turkey was. From beginning to end we had turkeys all over us. The food was amazing, the lodging was incredible, the guides do an absolutely incredible job helping each hunter get on birds. Already looking forward to next time.”

Aaron Philmon writes, "Just wanted to touch base with you guys. I’m writing to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed myself on our hunt a couple weeks ago. It beyond exceeded my expectations. The ranch house was great the food was awesome. Our Guides Seth and Jose went above and beyond in working to get us hunters on birds, filling out all paperwork and getting us lined up to get back to the airport. I’ve never been on a fully guided hunt with lodging and meals and this one was 5 star, from the shuttle at the airport into Mexico the way back. Use me as a reference and I will definitely recommend Jay Scott Outdoors Gould’s hunt.  Any ways guys Thanks for a great hunt."

Dave King writes, “Guides Darr and Parker Colburn made our effort to get our Gould's turkeys extremely enjoyable. Their knowledge of the birds and our Chihuahua ranch was the difference maker in all of us tagging birds. Definitely recommend booking with www.gouldsturkeyhunt.com if you're in need of a Gould's or just looking for a fun adventure. Awesome Trip!”

Jason Uhl writes, “After an absolute miserable experience this April for my Ocellated, I was really dreading coming back to Mexico. Jay Scott, you run an absolutely rock solid business and I can’t say enough about how well planned this hunt was. Nate, my guide was great and the ranch owners were awesome people too. After seeing how easy these birds were, I kinda wish I would have waited for a little better show but we call them in 3 times and they hung up on the decoys. First chance I had, I stuck an arrow in one. Archery Royal slam complete!! Top notch outfitter and I will give you a good write up when I get home. Will be back again sir!”

Tom Booth writes, “My Gould’s hunt with Jay Scott Outdoors was everything I hoped it would be!
Darr and Parker were excellent guides, and this father and son duo are of the highest quality character imaginable!All of the details were professionally handled, making all of the travel as smooth as possible.I highly recommend Jay Scott Outdoors"

Tim Day writes, “The hunt with Jay Scott Outdoors was superbly done. Very professional. Outstanding friendly guide and the ranch owner was present and very helpful and personable. There were 10-15 gobblers present at every setup. There were at least three mature gobblers within 20 yards at every setup. Highly recommend this hunt”

Justin Milizio writes, “I had a blast down in Mexico hunting with Jay Scott’s team. Our guide Kade put us on turkeys in no time and the birds put on show after show! Friends and family members had concerns over how safe it was to travel to Mexico and anyone contemplating this trip should not worry. Jay has worked hard to make sure every step of the trip is easy and safe for his hunters.”

Elliott and Jared Mallard write, “What an unbelievable experience to the Sierra Madres of Chihuahua. The whole process, From the booking, to the hotel, to the paperwork, Jay Scott and Phil Cramer and the crew made everything seamless. Waking up to cold temperatures in the morning hearing birds gobbling everywhere on the roost. Returning to the lodge to home cooked meals after every hunt, followed by the optional cerveza and swapping stories with the other hunters. Our guide Jose was everything anyone could ask for in a guide. He knew the land and the birds as good as they come. 100% recommended to everyone and we can’t wait to be back!”

Erik Guggenheim writes, “Mexico is the land of Turkey dreams. I just finished my Single Season Royal Slam with Jay Scott and what I thought was a one time trip is now going to be a regular event. His team is more than professional; they are the best. This is what pure turkey hunting is and an experience you have to see to believe.”

Dan Bennett writes, “Goulds turkey hunt in Mexico with Jay Scott Outdoors was more than a hunt, it was a true adventure! The attention to detail the staff puts into everything from the time the hunt is booked, through you dropping your bird off at the taxidermist, makes for an incredibly smooth and comfortable experience. Every aspect of the hunt was beyond my expectations and filled with excitement along the way.”

James Cantrell writes, “We just got back home from our turkey hunt with Goulds Turkey Hunt and Jay Scott. Our guide Phil Cramer was super helpful in all aspects and a great guy to be around. My family and I had a wonderful time and harvested 3 Goulds in one day and will highly recommend y’all to everyone we know. Thank you again!”


Lauren Brown writes, “This last and final trip for the 2024 turkey season was the stuff dreams are made of. I landed in Chihuahua Mexico on Thursday and right away the adventure began. It took a 3 hour shuttle, overnight at a hotel and a 2 hour truck ride to get to camp.
We hunted some, checked trail cams on Friday evening, and made a plan for Saturday morning. 3:45am wake up call, 40 min ranger ride, and got set up with time to spare. They started gobbling on the roost early and came into the spread not long after that. It was a hell of a show. A bunch of toms with some hens, strutting and gobbling, I've truly never seen anything like it. I was so busy watching the show I almost forgot to shoot, but shot at the last one that came in and finished my single season royal slam
If you have any doubts about flying to Mexico to shoot a Goulds with @gouldsturkeyhunt - you should book the hunt now. Even if you are a female book the hunt with @gouldsturkeyhunt! I can't say enough good things about @jayscottoutdoors and @cramerhunts .
I changed dates last minute due to some unplanned events and was pretty anxious about going to Mexico by myself, but I felt safe and taken care of from the minute I got to Chihuahua.
Everything was handled seamlessly from start to finish, the food and accommodations were great (the ranch owner's sister cooked some amazing meals for us and taught me how to make her secret salsa recipe) and of course the hunting was next level. I was lucky to hunt with 3 great guys and @cramerhunts 's knowledge on the area and the birds was impressive (his truck playlist was pretty cool as well. I waited to post about the trip until I got home because I wanted to take it all in, but I can't tell you how many times I sat there thinking, this is the coolest trip I've ever been on. Thank you @gouldsturkeyhunt for making this girl's royal slam dreams come true.”


Benjii Henry writes, “What a great experience, not just a hunt. I enjoyed everything about it starting with crossing the border, the drive to ranch then up thru mountains on UTV. My guides were excellent. Kade Purser was my main guide and kept me entertained the entire time. Kade and Preston work well together. They both took videos/pictures for all of us. Our food was excellent. You said it well, hunting Gould’s in Mexico is a unique experience. Keep Preston and Kade working together. A++ team. “


Jack Bispham writes, “The trip was great. Guide Phil Cramer worked his tail off to make sure the three of us got our two turkeys each.  I’d recommend this trip with Jay Scott Outdoors to anyone wanting a Goulds turkey. Reuben did a great job as your transportation person”
