Can't afford to travel the globe or lay out big $$$ so I'm going to go for the Back Yard Slam. I figure I'm good for Chipmonk, Squirrel, skunk, possum, groundhog/gopher, crow, vole/mole/mouse,(night hunt) weasel, racoon, flying squirrel and then the Marco Polo catagory would be Turkey, Deer, Coyote. I have Black Bear and Bobcat and the occasional Moose but they're not worth the jail time. Don't get me wrong some day I'd like to do the real slam but these will do for now. What will a slam in your back yard produce. It's small stuff but still a pretty heavy taxidermy bill!!
Mike, Only thing I would include is a fox and maybe a beaver. Big Ed
Do we have to leave cats and dogs out of this?
Just kidding! :bigsmyl: I like my dog.
With some luck.....groundhog, chipmunk, squirrel, crow, racoon(got that one already), possum, possibly a coyote and I saw three turkeys last week. The turkeys are not real likely to show up again anytime soon though.

All that you listed plus bunnies and rats, pigeons. Shawn
I think you should include atleast 1 bowfishing trip how about Goldfish/?
I had a slam for years and did'nt even no it.Heck I've got a couple.
THANKS MIKE
It's amazing what the back yard will kick up!!!
Wow! What a great back yard! I have squirrels,birds and a groundhog or 2.
Hmmm I would list what I have had in my backyard, but I dont wanna see anyone get upset. :D
Mike, in all seriousness, for bear you should look into the Catskills...
Here in Florida, I would include armadillo and buffo frog(a non-native frog/toad? so big you could put a saddle on).
With a short excursion I could throw in an exotic species... The elusive Nutria.. what a trophy.
Ours would be red squirrel, grey squirrel, chipmunk, woodchuck, coyoye, red fox, bobcat, muskrat, raccoon, cottontail, snowshoe hare, partridge, and crow.
For big game, it would be, deer, bear, moose and turkey......that's only 17 species, oh well, no commercial endorsments for me.
Squirrel, rabbit, possum, would be a small game slam...
Coyote, bobcat (rare but have seen one)and badger would be a fur bearer slam...
Course, I counted 7 deer the other morning in the full moon light within 30 yards of the house but no other big game in the vacinity that would qualify.
(I'm assuming herefords, holstiens and angus won't count...?)
;) :D
Ishi I'll have to check out the Catskills some time. I hunt NY for deer on occasion. I know a guy that has property off RT 17. I think when I buy the sportsmans deal I get a bear tag.
Hey Oregon Okie can't you count Big Foot. I thought it was out your way!!
Khumo tires, 10-30 bottles, a vintage '50s Budweiser can (pull tab top), rusted Tonka trucks, a screen door, a broom, and a '57 Chevy flatbed.
Bunnies, squirrels, deer, probably rats and mice and etc. coyotes, I havent seen but suspect coons skunks, and possums.
Mike, usually every big game license comes with a bear tag...atleast I know resident licenses do. I know where there are a ton of bears, and a lot of state land...
Of course, with the bigfoot issues from last summer... :scared: :biglaugh:
Frogs, carp, snapping turtle????????????????
lmao sweeney......good one man. :D :biglaugh: :D
Sweeney....south side of town, off Yuma Street? :readit:
Our slam is to take a red squirrel, a fox squirrel, a grey sq. and a chipmunk on the same day. We also have something we call the POOP and LUNG Record Bk.( the ovidious successor to Pope and Young)-- but thats something to complicated and silly to describe here.
