Ever since reading Chuck Adams, Super Slam, i too have had this a goal of mine. It does take a large amount of money to accomplish this feat, but you only live once and you surely arent going to be on your deathbed and say, man i wish i saved more money. If you plan well and think things through, it is possible to find some "deals" on some of these more expensive hunts.

Rememeber that even the worlds longest journey starts with one small step. Right now my goal is to take representative for each species. After that then i can go back and start knocking off the other species.

Iamyourhuckleberry, if you ever need a partner, ill be happy to go. Like you said, half the fun is just being there!
