Bucket List: Christin Flory

One of the things I have always wanted to do, even since I was little, is to complete one of the most strenuous hunting challenges. This challenge is the North American Super Slam. It includes 29 big game animals recognized by Boone & Crockett. There have only been 173 registered recipients of the North American Super Slam. In doing this challenge, I could also complete the Grand Slam. This is when you bag the four types of North American sheep, (Dall Sheep, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Stone Sheep, and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep), in a single season. Hunting has always been a huge part of my life, and this would be an incredible accomplishment and an honor for me to complete.


Another place that I have always wanted to visit is Mach Loop in Wales. The Royal Air Force holds tactical training for military aircraft in this stretch of valleys where they can get from 100 to 250 feet from the nearest terrain. Visiting there also serves as a hiking trip, which is one of my favorite things to do. 


On the same trip, I would like  go through the Eurotunnel  to France. Not only is this an efficient route to get to my next destination, but it is also an extraordinary feat of engineering. The next destination is Omaha Beach in Normandy, France where the D-Day invasion took place during World War II. Another one of my favorite things to do is visit significant historical sites and this would be a huge one to check off the list.
 

Travel and outdoors has always been a huge part of my life and all these things take is one dream trip and lots of dedication of wildlife.
