How many here have completed the Capra World Slam? i.e. 12 Goat species.
I have recently caught the mountain hunting bug (bad).
Since I've started to research this topic, the astronomical prices of a North American sheep hunt had me looking into international destinations for Ovis species on a budget.
That search further opened up the possibilities of hunting the Capra species of the world for much, much less. I have recently booked myself a North American goat hunt and am now quite intrigued by the various Ibex, Chamois, Tahr and Tur species that I'm halfway considering taking on the challenge of the Capra World Slam.
Between Canada, Spain and NZ I could theoretically have 7/12 completed, leaving the remaining 5 for Asian destinations.
Has anyone else here done the same? Have you completed the slam or progressing towards it? Just running the rough numbers now but I'm estimating you could hunt the Capra slam for at least 1/5th the cost of the Ovis slam?
Some food for thought.
