    Like the gut shot Roosevelt, femoral hit big horn, or the mountain goat that bailed off the 500ft cliff?

    Pacific Walrus and Jaguar are both listed on the Super Slam list under "Auxilary". Didn't realize that wasn't part of the Super Slam.

    Obviously I understand there's more to it than that. There's just something about shooting a treed cat that doesn't interest me.

    Is it weird that I have no desire to hunt goat or sheep? (with the possible exception of a goat hunt in Hawaii)

    No. The super slam consists of taking all of the NA 29 big game animals.

    What is Super Slam?

    To qualify for the Super Slam of North American Big Game®, a hunter must have registered the legal taking of all 29 of the traditionally recognized species of big game animals native to North America. For the big game hunter, there is no greater achievement and many have labored a lifetime to reach this astounding accomplishment. At one per year, it would be a 30-year quest. Some, lucky enough to get two or more, could cut that lifetime goal down a little. This gives an idea of the magnitude of the Super Slam.

    The original Grand Slam Club actually began recording the achievement of taking all the recognized N.A. big game animals long ago, in the early 1970s. Grand Slam Club founder Bob Housholder was the one who began keeping up with hunters who had done so. With this history in mind, GSCO has brought this most difficult milestone to the forefront of the hunting world, and given it the prominence it deserves.

    When a big game hunter chooses to register their trophies with GSCO, they are permanently recorded and preserved for future generations. Since GSCO has been keeping up with the Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep® for well over 50 years, it is among the things GSCO does best.

    What is Super Ten?

    To answer the above question, we must first mention the Super Slam of North American Big Game®. To accomplish a Super Slam, hunters must take all 29 of the recognized NA big game animals. Those 29 can be broken down into TEN categories. The ten categories are: bears, cats, deer, elk, caribou, moose, bison/muskox, goat, antelope and sheep.

    So, we can now easily answer that the Super Ten is when a hunter has taken and registered at least one from each of these ten categories.

    Many North American big game hunters will never have the opportunity to take all 29 animals for the Super Slam. Knowing this, Grand Slam Club/Ovis Executive Director Dennis Campbell originally conceived the idea of the Super Ten way back in 2002. He realized that to take one trophy from each of these ten categories would be a lifetime goal and an amazing achievement.
