Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Grand Slam Completed

Beautiful animals! Congrats on all those sheep! What a great deal.

Me too. Several times doesn't count tho. Especially if they are dinks.

(sigh!). One does what one can. I agree - that Stone and the picture, are outstanding!

You might just have to get some new hunting boots with velcro if you anticipate problems with your laces. Then you'll be able to go after Altai argali, Gobi argali and Marco Polo rams to add to your wonderful collection.

Thanks for all the responses! I'm flattered.

My sheep rifles are:

Remington 700 KS in .280 Rem w/Bushnell 6500 2.5-16X Bullet: 145gr Speer Hot Core & Swift A-Frame 140gr

Proof Research Terminus in .300WM w/Swarovski X5i 5-25X Bullet: 185gr Berger Classic Hunter

Bansner Ultimate Ovis in .270WSM w/Swarovski Z5 3.5-18X Bullet: Sierra 140gr TGK

I handload for each of these rifles.

***Since mentioned, here are some other sheep I've taken in recent years.

I've been very fortunate to make travels around the world. Thanks again for looking.

Altai Argali- Mongolia


Gobi Argali- Mongolia


Marco Polo- Kyrgyzstan


Blue Sheep- Nepal

Fantastic! By the way, you are making me feel lazy.

Nicely done sir.

Nice. At one time I was interested in trying for the Grand Slam. I have a stone and a bighorn but after going to Africa my interests changed from sheep to the spiral horn antelopes. Back when I was interested in sheep the desert was the hard part. Tags in the USA have always been limited and MX wasn't doing the hunts like they are now. If you want the slam these days you can simply stroke a check for any of them if you have deep enough pockets but that wasn't the case in the late 70s.

Congratulations. Quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations. That’s quite an accomplishment. I appreciate you sharing your pictures and rifle information with us.

Now that is magnificent! I was just trying to think of other goals to keep you hunting! 140 TGK in .270 WSM

Congrats on your slam, great achievement and great sheep. Then on to international sheep and goat as well, super, and still at in your late 60’s as well, that is admirable, those Mrs get steeper and taller every year, don’t they? Fellow Wyoming sheep hunter here. Completed my slam in 95 , grand slam #637. I was particularly proud, that as blue collr worker ( oil patch) I was ble to get it done before cost really escalated. First ram, at age of 40, dall 1762/8 BC, self guided chugach range Ak. Drew Nevada desert in 92, biggest event of my life, Stone in BC 93, and finally bighorn Alberta. Last sheep bighorn here in Wyoming, self guided, in 99. Last sheep hunt , have pulmonary fibrosis, at age of 85, sheep hunting days are done, miss it but with no regrets. Costs have gone thru the roof, haven’t they? I heard one of the bid tags at sheep show went for over 800k, can that be true? Congrats and keep climbing the mtns

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, congratulations on an amazing achievement! I'm envious of the experiences you've had hunting sheep all over the world!

Congrats, dukxdog! Thanks for sharing this and letting us live vicariously through some of your adventures. What a great lifetime of mountain hunting (so far - not over yet!). The 26-day hunt in Idaho is the kind of thing I dream about. Made my Saturday morning, thanks!

Congratulations. Beautiful animals
