You can only count 1 if you have both mule and whitetail deer?
Sounds like pretty stupid logic to me, since they are no more or less than the different than between a mule and a caribou. Both are deer.

British Columbia has mule and whitetails plus blacktail and sitka blacktail. Also Mountain Caribou, rocky mountain elk, canada moose, mountain goat, stone sheep,rocky mtn bighorn sheep,california bighorn sheep, black bear, and mt lion all OTC tags.
There is also draws for grizzly, bison, rossy elk, and dall sheep, plus tons of wolves. Not sure how many are on this list of theirs but I have hunted most of these animals succsesfully DYI.

I was thinking about this some more when I should have been working and I doubt I will ever attempt to make one of these lists.

I just don't think I would get the same thrill going on a guided Yukon moose hunt as I do on a DIY elk or mule deer hunt. Shooting a nice caribou seems to be related more to having the money to go on the hunt, rather than being a good hunter.

I would love to shoot a Rocky Mountain Bighorn because they are such a majestic animal, but I'll have to settle on shooting a free ranging Aoudad sheep here in Texas or in New Mexico. I would feel better about hunting a free ranging Oryx in New Mexico on the missile range than paying to go on a guided caribou hunt.

To each there own I guess. Maybe I'll splurge someday and go on a guided hunt and realize that I've been missing out this whole time.

Actually, it seems like a fairly logical way to break things out in order to get to a "Super 10"... One cat, one deer (out of 5 types), one bear (out of 4 types), one caribou (out of 5 subspecies), one elk (3 subspecies), one sheep, one goat, etc. Here's a link to the application. http://www.superslam.org/pdf/SuperTen-application.pdf Technically, aren't the various deer, caribou, elk and moose are all "deer"?

Must be nice to live in such a diverse region.

so if you harvest everyone of those animals you have completed what? And I thought I heard something along the lines of every species needed to be a book animal... any validity to that?

1 of each of those 29 makes the super slam or grand slam of NA I believe.

1 from each group makes the "Super Ten"

I'm not sure if does/cows qualify or not, I don't see why they wouldn't, and no each animal does not have to be a "book" animal.

pretty sure no one has ever taken the full list to make pope n young, let alone boone and crockett.
