Anyhow, I have a grand total of 8.

The Rocky Mountain, California, and Desert Bighorns are all sub species of Ovis Canadensis. Grand Slam Club/Ovis will accept either a Rocky Mountain or a California Bighorn for that subspecies on their list.

T_Inman, what are your 8 critters?


You're right...I shouldn't have said "sub-species" as that indicates scientific and genetic reasoning...I probably should have clarified that big game scoring organizations separate the Desert Bighorn from the Rocky Mountain bighorn....but they consider the Cali Bighorn the same as a Rocky Mountain Bighorn.

Anyhow I have taken:

Rocky Mountain elk
Mule deer
Whitetail deer
Pronghorn
Shiras moose
Barren Ground Caribou
Black bear
Cougar

I have killed wolf too, but it isn't on the NA29.
Like Buzz, I am not too concerned with slams and "lists"...I just like chasing critters and seeing new country.

I got lots of points in several states for bighorns and goats...plus I keep putting my name in NM and ID's sheep hat, but no luck. One of these days.
