    What if you were given the chance to go on 10 different hunts. Anywhere in the world, all expenses paid...

    Where would you go? What would you hunt?

    Let's hear your top ten.

    Wisconsin- Whitetails
    New Zealand- Red Stag
    Alaska- Grizzly
    Colorado- Elk
    Maine- Whitetails
    Alaska- Caribou


    I know that's only 8, but I can't really think of anymore at the moment. I know a lot of people will probably list Africa, but I just don't have any interest to hunt any of those animals for some reason.

    If I could have the time and a big hunt ever year... I wouldn't want the hunts all in the same year.

    1. New Zealand for Red Stag ( my youngest daughter thinks that would be a fun trip for us... I agree. ) This would be down the list as Britty is pretty young yet.

    2. Idaho for elk

    3. Minn for serious WT hunting and a tad bit of beer drinking

    4. Idaho for mountain WT and possibly elk

    5. Ohio/Pa for WT

    6. Idaho for farmland WT and possibly elk

    7. Kansas for WT

    8. Idaho for spring bear, turkey and shedhunting

    9. Minn for beer drinking and WT hunting

    10. Iowa for a trip in the spring for shedhunting and a fall WT hunt

    This one would be easy for me, although I plan on doing these ten bowhunts and more on my own money by the time I die anyway.

    1. Australia for Water Buffalo and Scrub Bulls
    2. Alaska Brown Bear
    3. New Zealand Chamois/Tahr Mountain Hunt
    4. Alaska Dall Sheep
    5. Alaska Mountain Goat
    6. Musx Ox Arctic Hunt
    7. Moose/Grizzly Bear Hunt in Alaska or British Columbia
    8. Quebec Caribou
    9. Mountain Lion over Hounds out West
    10. Argentina Blackbuck/Red Stag Plains Hunt

    According to my list, I need to move to Alaska...5 of the hunts on my top 10 all time are there.:rolleyes:

    Love them Whitetails eh Troy! :D

    I don't believe there are any Stones in Alberta, only Bighorn.....and if I were to hunt a Bighorn, it would be Alberta. For Stones, I believe you'd be hunting BC or the southern Yukon.

    The first would have to be for serious whitetail hunting. Well at least the first day. I wouldn't be picky. :) Hate to have the wife think it was just for the beer drinking both times. LOL

    Any large game in Mountainous terrain: Elk, Moose, Mulies, Bighorn Sheep, Mtn Goats, Dall Sheep...

    ...and probably never whitetails...unless it's some good spot & stalk terrain.
