I just heard Fred Eichler just got his last game Rockie Mountain Sheep for the Super Slam. If this is true then let me said Congrats Fred on a job well done. Can't wait to hear the Story.

That is awesome.  I know he wanted it for a long time I am glad to see he finally got there.  Good for him.

In August? Man, I live in the wrong state.

I hope he did it with his curve. Congrats if he reads this.

I was thinking Fred had a Stone and needed a Desert to complete his Slam?

Next weekend is the Muzzy Stump Shoot. Michelle (his wife) thought he would be there this year. A number of guys on this site go to the Muzzy so I am sure that even if Fred isn't there Michelle will fill us in unless someone verify that now. Would be nice for him and I am sure he will appear to be at least a little excited when the camera is on him.

I know the Stone was all he needed since he got the Desert last year.  I am sure he would have used the recurve.  Congrats buddy!

I thought that his slam is the first entirely with a recurve?  Am I right?

No he's not the first with a recurve, but he is second.

Its been so long, I may be wrong but I believe Paul Shafer got the slam completed in the 80s with trad equipment. If I'm wrong let me know.

Yep, it's true, Fred finally got his Stone sheep and has his slam, he is the 2nd to do it with Trad equipment.  He should be on his way back now and I am sure will post something about it, can't wait to see the pics and I hear it is a very big one!  I also heard he camped out on top of the mountain for 30 hours, living with the sheep till he could get his shot.  Knowing what he has and does go thru to hunt, I know that he earned it.  Mark
