Super Slam: Adventures with North American Big Game [Hardcover]

Chuck Adams (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2004

Super Slam!: Adventures with North American Big Game is Chuck Adams's first book retracing his epic journey to take all 28 North American big game species with a bow. Chuck relives those incredible hunts - all in one book - one that no serious bowhunter will want to be without it. Imagine staring at a snarling 9' polar bear at 15 steps with nothing but a bow in your icy hand and no backup firepower. Imagine a raw, raining, 15-day hunt for Alaska brown bears and placing a tiny sight pin on a 1,400-pound monster. Imagine trekking for the Grand Slam of wild sheep; muskox 50 miles from the North Pole; and a world record elk in the Montana mountains. The writing is vintage Chuck Adams - spine tingling, extreme bowhunting adventure with practical, proven bowhunting knowledge woven throughout.

To be honest, I wasn't very thrilled reading this book. The adventures he writes about are awesome, but pretty much the same as in his autobiography "Life at Full Draw." I'm not sure why I was disappointed; it may be because much of what was written in "Life at Full Draw", was also included in Super Slam. I highly recommend "Life at Full Draw," because it tells a lot more about the life of Chuck from boyhood through his Super Slam!

This book is a must have for bow and gun hunters alike. I would love to someday complete the North American 28 but right now don't have the time or money. This book gives me hope because Chuck did most of his hunts on his own. He's a great bowhunter and storyteller. His accomplishments afield are second to no one. This books tells about it all.

Until reading this book I had only been exposed to Chuck Adams and his legend through the writings of others about him, or through his magazine articles. SUPER SLAM is everything that I hoped it would be. As a hunter myself and one who hunts with a bow from time to time, I especially appreciate the dedication and effort that go into having a successful season hunting even one species (such as white tailed dear in my case). The fact that Chuck has successfully accomplished this feat on so many occasions with so diverse a list of animals in so many different and difficult locations is not only an amazing feat and a dream of a lifetime for most serious hunters, it is also an amazing fact that he has accomplished this and remained such an humble story teller. His writing style seems to reflect the appreciation that he has, not only for his quarry, but also for the fact that he has personally been given this wonderful opportunity to accomplish the "holy grail" of bowhunting. This is an amazing read about not only an incredible lifetime journey, but about an equally amazing, studied, humble and appreciative man. I feel this is a must read for any hunter, whether bowhunter or not. We can all learn and be entertained by Chuck Adams' SUPER SLAM.
