    I'm just curious if anyone's ever tried or been successful at achieving the Whitetail Slam (hunting all 8 of the Whitetail subspecies...for those that don't know)

    No. I have a hard enough time just hunting the whitetail. :bow:
    I might try a few of them but it would be after I retire and the boys are old enough they could go with me.

    No, these slams are for guys that like seeing their name on an accomplishment, I just like to hunt I don't pursue getting my name in a magazine.

    I guess, it would be fun though because from what I have read the deer act differently and the different terrain would be cool to experience as well, just my 2c but at this moment I will keep working on Ohio bucks

    I think this is very well put. I'm sure there are guys that want the slam just for the recognition. That's not my reason though. I want to hit the slam for the challenge of the different deers. They all have different personalities and habits. I like the challenge.
