I guess he's 12 years old now.
Here's the slams from the descriptions there:
A Grand Slam consists of taking all four U.S. wild turkey subspecies (the "Eastern" (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), which has the most widely distributed geographic range of all the subspecies; the "Osceola" (Meleagris gallopavo Osceola), found only in Florida; the "Rio Grande" (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia), found in the central plains States; and finally the "Merriam's (Meleagris gallopavo merriami), found in the western mountain regions of the U.S.).
A Royal Slam includes all the subspecies above plus the "Gould's" wild turkey subspecies (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana), found mostly in Mexico, but with an isolated few areas near the northern Mexican border, in Arizona and New Mexico.
Finally, a World Slam includes both the Grand Slam and Royal Slam subspecies plus the "Ocellated" wild turkey species (Meleagris ocellata or "pavo ocelado"), found in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico - Campeche, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Tabasco, and Chiapas - also in the northern border regions of Guatamala and Belize.
