I think a certificate signed by the club president and vp only would be suffice.  Then the person could decide how he/she would like to display it.  As for cost you could have the first one free and any other have a small fee.

I agree making something too easy does diminish it in some eyes.  All I am saying is that I personally would like to see something that is attainable by the average predator hunter.  Looking at other "slams" they are unreasonable for the average joe.  I don't have the money to complete any of those.  I can't hunt Africa or travel the world in search of a turkey.  I'm lucky to call in one predator in a week on the public land I hunt. Yes I listed 21 achievements.  Just because its not an achievement to one doesn't mean its not to another.   I'm not arguing that we have to have all of them.  If you don't want to apply for a specific one because you feel its not an achievement for you then don't.  Just like buck hunting.  Some guys are thrilled to even harvest a buck and some guys aren't satisfied unless it a monster. 

We are trying to create something that is for our club.  It needs to be challenging, yet obtainable by the masses.  It is hard to find a happy medium with anything.  Either way I'm not an officer its not my decision.  I paid my money to renew without thought for any type of gain or reward.  I just know that when I first joined there was a lot more chatter on the boards.  Every district had a hunt.  I support our group and will continue to.  I would just like to see it prosper for future generations to enjoy.

Another thing to think about
Is this something that should be at the District level?

The far southeastern PA has literally 100 times more fox than here in the northwest, but we have grays, more coyotes and can shoot bobcat.....

I'm watching Fox Pro Furtakers and their goal at the beginning was to harvest a Red Fox, Grey Fox, Coyote, and Bobcat in one trip because they have never done it before.  Maybe it was just in Virginia they never did it, but that sounds like a difficult accomplishment.
