GSCO's Super Slam program honors members who achieve and register what they refer to as a SUPER TEN. The recognized 29 North American big game animals can be divided into 10 categories and one species from each category will qualify a hunter for the SUPER TEN. The categories include bears, cats, deer, elk, caribou, moose, bison/muskox, goat, antelope and sheep.

The SUPER TEN could be considered a mini- SUPER SLAM as any hunter who accomplishes it will have had to hunt all the animal categories involved in a SUPER SLAM and travel the four corners of North America to hunt these species. GSCO also recognizes archery only accomplishments as an "Archery" SUPER TEN.

In 1956, Arizona businessman Bob Housholder began tracking hunters who pursued North America's Wild sheep. Soon after, the harvesting of the four sub-species was referred to as a GRAND SLAM. There are actually six subspecies of wild sheep recognized, the bighorn, desert bighorn and California bighorn, Dall, Stone and fannin.
Dall and Stone are capitalized as these sheep are named after explorer William Healy Dall and naturalist Andrew Jackson Stone.

Today, the Grand Slam Club is much, much more. GSCO records and documents not only Grand Slam's, but the SUPER TEN, SUPER 25 and SUPER SLAM as well as the OVIS and CAPRA World Slams. A GRAND SLAM of wild rams is an incredible accomplishment and one of the most recognized milestones known. The Grand Slam Club requires membership to register trophies but offers a fantastic FREE plaque to members that achieve the GRAND SLAM.
Dr. John "Jack" Frost of Anchorage Alaska was the first bowhunter to complete an archery Grand Slam. See Jack's Biography and learn more about him in Tom Miranda's ADVENTURE BOWHUNTER DVD SET.

A Whitetail Slam is the harvesting, registering and certifying of four whitetail bucks, one buck each from any four of the eight recognized Whitetail Slam territories.
With biologists in disagreement of how many subspecies of whitetails exist (some biologists say 18 some over 30) Whitetail Slam utilized the top deer biologists in the nation ( Dr. Harry Jacobson & Dr. James Kroll ) to break up North America into whitetail territories that would group whitetails with similar characteristics, habitat's and rut times. These territories became the recognized territories and include: Northern Woodlands, Southeastern, Seminole, Gulf Coast, Dakota, South Central Plains, Northwestern and Desert Coues.

Whitetail Slam is different than other organizations as it has FREE membership, however registered bucks that qualify can be certified for a small processing and archival fee. Hunters can establish a personal Slam page at www.whitetailslam.com and as bucks are registered, they can be certified and the individuals Slam Page will track their slam progress. Once a Whitetail Slam is earned and certified, the hunter receives a custom framed Slam certificate autographed by Tom Miranda.

Whitetail Slam also certifies The Ultimate Slam which is eight whitetails, one from each of the eight recognized territories.

Safari Club International also recognizes a similar accomplishment which they refer to as the Grand Slam of Whitetails- however SCI's territories and number of recognized deer species is somewhat different.
