The GSCO Capra World Slam
The taking of a Capra World Slam is probably the single most physically difficult accomplishment in the mountain hunting world. The Capra goats live in some of the steepest, most difficult and dangerous mountain habitat on the face of the earth. Grand Slam Club/Ovis has defined well over 30 different trophy categories for the world’s wild mountain Capra species. An individual is designated as having achieved the Capra World Slam when he or she has successfully taken and documented with GSCO at least 12 different species or subspecies from the above-mentioned recognized trophy categories.
