A Longmont teenager has been transformed into an international celebrity after setting a world-record by becoming the youngest female hunter to achieve a “North American Grand Slam.”
Sara Rose Brandenburg, 16, successfully shot and killed a Stone sheep in the Canadian Yukon on Aug. 8.
The Grand Slam is a coveted achievement in the hunting community, which involves harvesting four of the most elusive game in North America: the Dall, Rocky Mountain bighorn, desert bighorn and Stone sheep.
