Just curious what you guys out there plan to do in your hunting career? the grand slam(all NA big game animals, I think 29 of them) ? Most of them, minus a few you don't care to hunt? or don't ever plan to get a chance to due to cost or luck of drawing a tag?
Personally I want to hunt most of them in NA, though polar bear doesn't exactly appeal too much to me, nor does mtn. goat right now.
What about any other slams etc...across the world? african sheep /antelope etc...?

I want to "Slam" an arrow or bullet into a Wyoming elk this fall and maybe a CO elk as well. Other than that, just enjoying every moment I spend in the woods!! Not that there is anything wrong with having that type of goal in mind but just not something I really wanted...
Personally my near future goals are besides a whitetail with a bow, an elk with a bow....., a moose with a bow would be nice, but that tags going to take a while I think, a rcky mtn bighorn sheep, though probably rifle not bow I'd love to take, again that tag should take alotta years.
My grandpa finished his sheep slam last year with his desert. I would love to follow in his shoes but i dont think its going to happen any time to soon. He got his first three within five years of each other then waited another twenty five to finish it.
W.T. deer ,mulie,black bear,caribou,moose,pronghorn,elk,and turkey if thats one. The last time I counted I had 28 mounts . I want to hunt a big billy goat or a grizz .Mostly b/c I have had lots of them in my crosshairs or bow sights. But those darn guide laws make it hard on a poor working guy with a wife and kids. Maybe I should be looking at some of the critters I can still hunt unguided. Any advice?

Some of these are realistic others may not be but hey that is what dream/wish are all about.
I've never really had much interest in animals outside of N.A.. . .seems in Africa, all you have to do is sit on a water hole and pull the trigger. Not much sport in that. My life time wish list at this point is (in addition to white tail and turkey) : mulies, antelope, elk, bear(black and grizz), moose,bighorn sheep, caribou and maybe a bison.
Plan to complete the grand slam? any slams?
