Goulds Turkey Hunting offered by Global Sporting Safaris

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

March 23, 2011/ Aguascalientes, Mexico/ – Global Sporting Safaris is pleased to announce the offering of Goulds Turkey Hunting in Aguascalientes, Mexico. 

The State of “Aguascalientes”, recognized internationally as one of the best hunting destinations for the Gould’s Turkey, is located in central Old Mexico. The unique nature of the mountainous terrain makes for some of the best Gould’s Turkey habitat in the world. Aguascalientes is also one of the more tranquil and safe States in Mexico and is very accessible by international flights. The city of Aguascalientes is often considered by the locals to be the safest and cleanest city in Mexico. Also, the city of Aguascalientes is known as “the land of good people”.

Gould’s Turkey hunting takes place in the internationally renowned “Rancho Antrialgo”. The Ranch is located just an hour plus drive northwest of the State Capital of the same name, in the heart of the “Sierra Fria” (Cold Mountain) Mountain Range which is part of the western “Sierra Madre” Mountain Range. Located at 8,000 ft above sea level, it has high mesas, canyons and mountains which make up three different landscapes: prairies and oak & pine forests.

The Gould’s Turkey is the largest of the 5 recognized turkey subspecies in the Americas, its larger feet, longer legs and larger center tail feathers make them without a doubt one of the most impressive of the turkey subspecies.  The Gould’s turkeys in Aguascalientes may sport from up to 3 beards, measuring as much as 10+” long! Their spurs will usually measure about ¾” to 1”. The pure white bands on the tail feathers are truly a magnificent characteristic of this magnum of a turkey. According to the NWTF records, the current #12 and #32 ranked Gould’s Turkeys have been harvested in the State of Aguascalientes in Old Mexico.

The NWTF, now recognizing the Mexican Turkey Slam in its wild turkey records program, states that for a hunter to complete the Mexican Slam, it consists of the Gould’s, Ocellated and Rio turkeys being harvested in Old Mexico. Once a hunter completes a Mexican Turkey Slam, he is well on his way to complete the Royal and then the World Turkey Slams.

Even though this is a “Mountain” hunt, Goulds turkey hunting will be done from blinds and walking through animal trails and fields, so the difficulty level could be considered mild to medium. You will always set the pace of the hunt for the guides, and both GSS and Rancho Antrialgo will work with you if you have special or limited mobility needs, so there is no strenuous effort required for this hunt on your part.
