I don't think it is the first with a recurve.  Didn't Paul Schafer do it with a curve? Not sure if he was the first, though.

Paul Schafer did not get the super slam of all North American big game animals.  He was one of the first to achieve the slam of all four species of North American wild sheep and I think he was the first to get the sheep slam with traditional equipment.

I don't care if he's 31st...I've never been so involved in someone else's triumphs, Fred makes it feel like I'm there with him; through his story telling.
Hope he comes back with video too!
Thanks for all the "shared" hunts and Congratulations, Fred.

Way to go Fred!!!! Looking forward to seeing some pictures!!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

I'm still trying to get my first kill with traditional equipment, much respect for anyone who can accomplish the Grand Slam, as well as having a camera man with you when doing it.  Great job Fred.  Whats next? Maybe the first person to do it twice?
