The North American Super Slam consists of 29 species spread across the continent. And if an adventure hunter harvests all 29 it puts that hunter is very elite company. On today's Hunt the World podcast Brian and Brad welcome in veteran hunter and explorer Shay McGowan, one of our Rolling Bones members, who is getting very close to achieving this lofty goal. Shay shares the stories of how he got started in the quest, how RBO advisors have helped with strategy and tactics and how soon he thinks he'll get all 29.

Before 2021 RBO Platinum member Chad Carpenter had never hunted big game. He grew up in Nebraska and hunted a little pheasant but nothing serious. But then, this father of six, was prodded by one of his boys to go deer hunting. He signed up with Rolling Bones and the rest is history. Chad is one of our 2024 Platinum draw winners who chose a free guided hunt in New Zealand where he harvested a 600"+ trophy Red Stag, Arapawa Ram, and Fallow Deer. On this Hunt the World episode Chad tells his story to Brian and Brad - how he took each step on his journey to becoming a world-class hunter in three short years. Thank you for listening!
