In a 1948 article in TRUE magazine, Grancel Fitz first published
the designation "Grand Slam" in reference to the successful hunting
of the four indigenous North American wild sheep: the Dall, Stone,
Desert, and Rocky Mountain.
But there is another free-range North American sheep slam available
to hunters consisting of Red Sheep, Armenian Mouflon, European
Mouflon, and Aoudad.
For Red Sheep and Armenian Mouflon, Jim Boulton hunts with Rowdy
McBride on the famous Clayton Williams Ranch in West Texas. Then
Ken Wilson travels to Hawaii to hunt pure European Mouflon on
the big island with Gene Yap (whose young son, Matt, also shoots
a good trophy in an exciting sequence). For Aoudad, Steve
Jones of Blackcountry Hunts guides Ken Wilson on a successful
mountain hunt south of Marfa, the highest incorporated city in
Texas.
For the challenge of free-range sheep hunting at a fraction
of the cost of Grancel Fitz's Grand Slam, give The Other
Sheep Slam a try!
