    1. Never let hunting compromise or get in the way of my wife and kids. Continue to keep/teach hunting in my family as a way of life, not a sport.
    2. Live off of elk, venison, wild game period the rest of my life. All D.I.Y. from field to freezer. (The same with our gardening.) I just like eating what God meant for us to eat, before man screwed it all up. :)
    3. Selfishly; My one goal would be to; Find and kill an Idaho state record whitetail Buck with my bow. Nt or Typical wouldn't matter.
    4. Hunt whitetails in all regions of the USA/CAN with a few close friends and take my boys if the want to be a part of it when they get older.
    5. Whitetail hunt with my brother at least 1 time anually until we can no longer do it.
    6. Kills some critters with my recurve.

    Hey maybe by the time you get most of the way done we'll have 'em here in the 49th state too. Then you'll have to go to all 50. (Some got loose in the Palmer/Wasilla and Homer areas and we even had a couple get loose here in Kodiak.) Global warming's going to have to kick it into high gear before we get a successful nesting season though!

    Man, I am telling ya'll. If someone invents a time machine, I'm outta here! I would start with a T-rex, a cavebear, a sabertooth tiger, and a wooly mammoth. I'd get them mounted, kiss the wife, and dive back in...

    I still have my three hunting goals: The N. American Super Slam, a good representive deer from all 50 states, and completing SCI's world hunting award program using archery gear. Where there's a Will there's a way!

    A big bear (griz) and a cape buffalo are the most pressing for me currently.

    All of the major big game species with my bow.

    Trevor,

    I love SCI. It is hands down the best wildlife preservation/conservation organization, with clout, out there. Moreover, SCI does more to protect everything about hunting (gun right, public access to land, etc.) both domestically and internationally than any other sportmen's association-most other groups keep a watchful eye on SCI and follow suit.

    The SCI World Hunting Award, introduced in 1995, was the highest award in the World Hunting Awards Program,
    recognizing extraordinary efforts in conservation of wildlife. It has been fuel for the fire of many hunters such as Gary Bogner, Chuck Adams, and Jim Shockey (and toss my name into the list). To date only 60 hunters have qualified for this prestigious award. SCI members must have taken 13 SCI Grand Slams and 20 SCI Inner Circles including the Fourth Pinnacle of Achievement and the Crowning of Achievement. The method of take is totally decided upon by the hunter (firearm, bow, or muzzleloader). The slams include:

    AFRICA BIG FIVE
    AFRICAN 29
    EUROPEAN DEER SLAM
    GRAND SLAM OF BEARS OF THE WORLD
    GRAND SLAM OF CATS OF THE WORLD
    GRAND SLAM OF DANGEROUS GAME OF AFRICA
    GRAND SLAM OF ELK OF NORTH AMERICA
    GRAND SLAM OF MOOSE OF THE WORLD
    GRAND SLAM OF NORTH AMERICAN CARIBOU
    GRAND SLAM OF NORTH AMERICAN DEER
    GRAND SLAM OF NORTH AMERICAN WILD SHEEP
    GRAND SLAM OF WHITE-TAILED DEER
    NORTH AMERICAN 29
    SOUTH AMERICA SLAM OF INDIGENOUS ANIMALS
    WILD TURKEY SLAM
    (I believe there were two new slams added this year-i.e. the hunter can pick and choose which slam he wants to pursue).

    The Inner Cicles include:

    ANTLERED GAME OF THE AMERICAS
    ANTLERED GAME OF THE WORLD
    CHAMOIS OF THE WORLD
    GAZELLES OF THE WORLD
    GLOBAL HUNTING AWARD
    GOATS OF THE WORLD
    HUNTING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
    IBEX OF THE WORLD
    INTRODUCED TROPHY ANIMALS OF NORTH AMERICA
    MOUNTAIN GAME OF THE WORLD
    OXEN OF THE WORLD
    PIGS AND PECCARIES OF THE WORLD
    PREDATORS OF THE WORLD
    PYGMY ANTELOPE OF AFRICA
    RED DEER/WAPITI OF THE WORLD
    SHEEP OF THE WORLD
    SPIRAL-HORNED ANTELOPES OF AFRICA
    TOP TEN AWARD
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF AFRICA
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF ASIA
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF EUROPE
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF NORTH AMERICA
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF SOUTH AMERICA
    TROPHY ANIMALS OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC

    Fulfilling the requirments of the slams and inner circles with a bow, as you know, has taken me around the world. I would not trade a second of what I've experienced and learned! It has been an awesome endeavor. I may never complete the program, but I will give it hell trying!
