buckee Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 The term "Grand Slam", means different things to different people, and even if you say "North American Gland Slam", it still means different things to different people. If you were talking to a regular sheep hunter, a grand slam would be to hunt and harvest one of every species of North American sheep. To a trophy sheep hunter, each one would have to score in the record books in order to qualify or be a world class best of every species, if you wanted to take it to the top. If you were talking to an avid bear hunter, it might be the goal of getting one of every species of Bear in North America. etc, etc. To some of us, it means, hunting and harvesting one of every species of big game in North America, which makes a pretty long list, and if you wanted to throw in that they must all be world class trophies, then the "Grand Slam" becomes a tough accomplishment to fill. It really does mean different things to different folks, depending on which Gland Slam, you wish to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M00N Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Re: what is the american grand slam Buckee's right as a Grand Slam to me would be harvesting a PA buck, bear, and gobbler in the same year. And a Super Grand Slam would be a PA buck, bull elk, bear, and gobbler in the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdickey Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Re: what is the american grand slam It can also mean the 5 primary specie of turkeys found in the U.S.! But most probably, it would mean all of the primary hunted GAME animals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
