Default SuperSlam Of North America 29 Completed

Fellas i just returned home from my sitka island blacktail hunt and i was successful in harvesting the deer, This completes the super 29 for me as i have hunted every noted animal in north america now.
First off i want to thank alberta outdoorsman for the continuous support in relaying information and the outstanding information a person can receive from this website.
My wife and kids,Darien and Shelby have been extemely supportive through the whole journey with me beyond and above, I thank them for this.

I publically wrote about my journey over the last 7 years of seriously going for the north american 29 becasue i strongly beleive if people can see the different animals and storys of them animals it might drive people to different adventures.

I will be the youngest person in the world to ever accomplish this and the only reason i was able to was becasue of the drilling rigs here in alberta, I would work the winters and hunt the falls.

Interesting facts on completeing the quest.
1. I hunted with 20 different outfitters to complete the slam

2. 7 differetn wheel planes and 3 different float planes and 8 different pilots

3.I hunted 6 different provinces in canada, i hunted 4 differetn states in the united states and i hunted 2 different place is mexico.

4.Total cost of the north american 29 is 248000$

5.easiest hunt was the black bear and the hardest hunt was the bighorn sheep.

6.My wife ventured on 8 of the animals with me through thick and thin, Blinding winds and heavy rain and snow falls. Thanks Brandie

7. Only 2 animal made the boone and crocket record book ( the tule elk)
2 animals made the Pope And Young Record Book(The muskox,shiras moose.)
And 4 animals made the awards in boone and crocket,The yukon moose, Woodland caribou, Mexican coues deer, North american elk

8. I used 5 different weapons to complete it, Archery, 300 RUM, 30-06 M70 Winchester,300 Savage lever action, Open sighted black powder muzzleloader( you have to hunt the columbian blacktail with this weapon, oregon laws)

I thought i would post the north american 29 for everyone to see.

All four sheep

Wow what a Feat congrats on the 29 and all look like great animals. I think its great that your wife and brother were able to share in your adventures!

Pat have you ever given any thought to publishing a journal of your hunts for the Quest of the 29?? I Think it would be an awsome read and very informative

Once again way to go

I don't know you, Pat, but, from what I've seen of you on here over the years, it strikes me that it would be hard to find anyone who could deserve this more. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

I stole this from another site......I just about peed myself laughing!!!!!!!

"At first I thought this was just a wealthy guy throwing his money around. (If I had it this is exactly what I would do.)

Then he said he works on the oil rigs so I figure he's a common guy.

"Then I saw his wife and I thought he's gotta be a rich guy.

Then I saw his hair do in the Musk Ox picture and I'm thinking common guy again because he would have done the Donald on the hair if he had the money.

My final profile of Gunslinger is that he is a middle age male of slightly above average wealth who is hung like a horse with an affinity for having his picture taken with a variety of big dead critters.

Great trophies Slinger! Thanks for sharing. Now get after those sheep!"



Congrats again Slinger'!!!!!!
