RE: Grandslam?
I believe you are refering to what is more commonly known as the 'Super slam'. A "Grandslam' is the taking of all 4 species of N American wild sheep. The Super slam consists of taking one of all
4 Sheep species
all 5 caribou species
2 Elk species
Bison
5 Deer species
1 mountain lion
1 mountain goat
all 4 bear species
all 3 moose species
1 muskox
1 antelope
Some people have argued that Walrus should be added to this list.
I'm maybe a third of the way there!

RE: Grandslam?
Yea you're right Mark, there is at least 3 species of Elk including the Tule elk. I don't know why its not included in the Superslam. But there are several morespecies of whitetail deer, Bison, and even sheep.
I see that B&C even list Jaguar as a N American trophy as well as 2 species of walrus. I'm only guessing but I believe B&C drew the line somewhere, probably ruling that tule Elk, Jaguar etc are not included because of their scarcity and difficulty in being able to hunt them legally.
