O'FALLON, Ill. - William "Slim" Boente and several of his buddies are considered royalty in the turkey hunting world.

Boente, a 42-year-old construction worker from O'Fallon, recently completed the Royal Slam of turkey hunting: shooting all five species of wild turkey - the Eastern, Rio Grande, Merriam's, Osceola and Gould's - common to North America.

Boente and four of his turkey hunting buddies traveled to Chihuahua, Mexico, during the last week of April to hunt the Gould's bird, the fifth leg of the Royal Slam. Boente; his brother, Steve Boente, of O'Fallon; and Joseph Wrigley, of Collinsville, all completed the Royal Slam.
