I'd Love to have done it, but honestly way too many $$ for this workin' man.

Dan

I agree Dan! It's doable for the right person no doubt, just ungodly spendy.

Many guys that have completed have claimed to spend around $400K when its all said and done, some less, some more. Im sure you could get it done for maybe even150k less thanthat.....but any way you go about it, a few hundred thousand dollars on hunting trips is far out of nearly anyones reaches.

Ill just complete the slam through reading about others adventures

Well I surely don't have the funds! Not on a military budget! However, I am very lucky to be able to be stationed in places I would never live for a long period of time. Giving me the opportunity at the "local Game" And in some cases resident tag prices help too!

My dreams are shattered!

I'm working onthe WV Slam. Right now I've already taken a whitetail deer, possum, chimunk, squirrel, black bear, black snakeand yard bird. I still need a turkey, racoon and field mouse.

Stay after'em!! You'll get'em in No time!

Don't forget the dangerous, toothie critters: coyote, red fox and tree fox.

My understanding, which may not be correct, is a slam is all28 animals and the super slam is all 28 animals in the book.
Yahtzee!!!!
I believe Chuck Adams was the first to accomplish this with archery..??
Also believe that Jim Shocky was the first with a muzzle loader...??

I work with a guy that has completed the slam.I think it was with all book animals, I'll have to ask him. I know that he's been at it for at least 28 years. He is also a taxidermist and has all of them mounted in his house. I've seen them while getting my deer scored (he's an official scorer). The polar bear is awesome, just huge. I think it was #6 in the world when he shot it. It is super expensive!!

The article in the link was written last Feb. He finished his quest this season.

Wow... Wow, what a story!
I felt among royalty, getting to see the level of one of my old friends whitetail deer accomplishments,
over the holiday season (his man room).

Knowing / meeting someone like this would be awesome and quite rewarding while talking over beers, yes the liquid kind, it's not a typo!
