DON'T SHOOT ME  

[Bill Carlsen]

I am not going to make a trip to TX to shoot a dillo!!!!!

[Zradix]

How about a mini squirrel slam. Red, fox, black, chippy, and the elusive flying

[Covey]

Here in good'ol IN. we don't have dillo's but the rest is within reach, and do to my recent job loss it look's like I my have some time on my hand's. Bobcat's are kinda scarce might have to check the REG's on them. Good Hunting, Jason

I was stumping the other day and bagged a trophy bull steel grain bin. twice.  Does that count toward a not so super slam?  

My wife is a huntress and extremely understanding
but I wonder what she would say when I told her I had to fly to Texas to arrow an armadillo to complete my not so super slam...  :D

[twitchstick]

I am all about a Not-so-superslam,sounds fun. I know that I would not be able to complete a superslam on my present course,but thats ok. I Know I will not even get to hunt all the speices in my own state. But thats ok.It is nice that I do have several speices to hunt in Utah,more than I will be able to draw tags for. But thats ok. It just dosn't matter I am still have alot of fun. When that pile of brush in the rim rock looks like it has a full curl and my arrow hits it's mark on the brush.  I guess that will have to be my desert big horn for now.

No matter what -- I am not shooting a skunk. I don't want to be within bow range of a skunk.
Slams should have 4 or 5 things or they end up being bucket lists.
I like the roving slam -- stump, pop can, paper junk and rusted can't-identify-it-thing.

[bornagainbowhunter]

Well, maybe we can set up a pol with the above animals and use the top 5 for the 2010 Not-so-Superslam.  This could turn out to be some kinda' fun.
Bill, if ya really want to shoot a dillo, maybe i could mail you one.  

[bornagainbowhunter]

Alright guys, I just set up a poll.
George, your turn for the superslam of roving.

[Bill Carlsen]

Bornagain: Thanks for the offer but Laura and I are done with having pets....besides, how do they do in the snow. We have quite a bit at the moment and more coming down as I type this.

Originally posted by Orion:
Don Thomas had an article in Tradaditional Bowhunter a year or so ago that listed a number of realistically attainable animals to comprize an average person's Slam.  The article was also plagiarized and printed in another magazine so the idea has circulated fairly widely.  Don't have that article in front of me but there might be a few animals listed there that you've left out.  Have fun.      

I have this issue somewhere.  The idea for this is just as you said, it's for the people that either can't get the time to travel out of state to hunt for other species or don't have the money to.  I think that in his article he suggested that everyone make a list of species to try to take that was specific to the area that they hunted in. (not all species live in all areas or are not legal to shoot in certain areas.)  

I made a list of my own and have lost it somewhere.  Honestly I had forgotten completely about it.  I'm glad that this was brought up.  It's interesting to see what some of the others think.

[bornagainbowhunter]

Bill, maybe you could keep it in the garage.  

[Gehrke145]

My goal is, one sheep, mountain goat, one big bear (brown or griz) muskox, antelope, one caribou, one moose, All deer (I love deer) black bear, one elk, just about one of everything just not all sub species.

[LimbLover]

Add the following to that list and I'm in:

1)Oak tree
2)Maple tree
3)Aspen
4)Concrete floor of range
5)Trash can

[George D. Stout]

Armadillo!  As Jerry Clower called it, "possum on the half-shell!"

[katie]

Hey, anyone still working on this?
I am:)

[pickaspot]

How about that skunk pelt quiver idea? Functional and masking scent rolled into one!

I bagged my first gopher rats with my self bow two turkey seasons ago in a buddy's chicken coop in Tennessee. They will go on my back yard list. But wait a minute...we were spot lighting. Do they still count?

[bolong]

All I need is a skunk and a turkey and dang I've passed on some P&Y skunks.

[wbyrd]

This sounds like a pretty fun idea. I'll see how much headway I can make on it this year....

[Bowwild]

I have all of em except the fox, possum, and coon. I'd offer to substitute a chipmunk for the possum. Also, I think a frog would be a good sub for the coon.  Finally, (you know what I'm doing) A flying starling at the edge of bow range should count for more than a common "tweety bird" and I have two witnesses (not counting the thousands of starylings that saw my arrow coming). Oh, and a swinging mountain dew can on a string....
