This book outlines the author's project "to take all the huntable species and subspecies [in North America] with the same .30-06 rifle", pursued over two and a half decades. "In the process he ..kept careful records and photos of his experiences, and (this book) is the culmination of his efforts. Few hunters have enjoyed such a variety of North American hunting experiences, which range from the polat bear of the high Arctic to the jaguar of the lowland jungles of Mexico. His stories include hunting for the grand slam of North American sheep, all five North American bears, all eight North American deer subspecies, all six caribou, three elk, four moose, the pronghorn, mountain goat, walrus, jaguar, and much more. In each chapter (the author) includes the tale of his own hunt, biological data, hunting techniques, type of terrain, special equipment needs, and other valuable material for hunting each species. All chapters have been carefully reviewed by a competent authority on the biology of the featured animal." This book is required reading for anybody intending to repeat the author's feat, in whole or in part.
