At the end of 2011, Justin Ragazzine was an overworked entrepreneur with a New YearÕs resolution to make more time for himself. But even he could have never imagined that booking a hunt online to fulfill that resolution would take him on an ambitious quest across the world to harvest twenty-nine animals in two years, making him the youngest hunter ever to complete the North American Super SlamÑand in a record twenty-seven months.
In a fascinating account of his journey to several countries, territories, provinces, and states to realize his goal, Ragazzine shares stories of each expedition that included hunting on horseback for Dall sheep in the Mackenzie Mountains, bow-hunting for black bear in Canada, pursuing musk ox and caribou in the Arctic, and hunting for Columbia blacktail in Oregon. Included is advice on the best equipment and hunting techniques as well as helpful tips for others interested in embarking on similar expeditions.
