I am curious as to which animal would be your #1 pick if you could hunt it. Mine is the lord derby with the bongo a VERY close second. What say you?
 
I know what you mean.....
 
Cape buffalo is my #1 pick. But I'm with Simon with a bunch of other stuff as close seconds!
 
I have to say Cape Buffalo. It may be the "popular" pick, but it is definitely the animal that I thought of wanting to hunt as a child and the one that still excited me 40 years later.

If forced to pick a second species I would have to say Bongo. Such a different hunting geography than anything else I've ever done.
 
:D Pop Popcorn:Way to hard to answer.... So I'm just here for the comments.
 
C mon...give us one!
 
Ok.... Probably a Cape Buffalo, in their element or maybe a Bighorn Sheep in the mountains. But then I have a $hitload of close 2nds. Way toooo hard to pick 1.

I have so many seconds that feel like number ones!
 
Also, a Leopard at night over bait.... That has to be close to 1. See what I mean... I CAN"T DO IT!!!!:confused:
 
Oh yeah.... add a Sable to that list....

So.... your "one" is really a 28 day full bag safari. What's wrong with that???? :)
 
28 full hunting days... right? :sneaky:

Ahhh, the leopard.....MY current favorite that I hope I can cross off my list this September!
 
Giant sable from Angola.......with about another 30 species VERY close second.

Wow I would have to agree with all the above! But if I had to choose just one, I'm going with Mike's thought below on the 100+ elephant! There is nothing that can compare to hunting elephant.... It is the one animal I feel "differently" about shooting, I think it changes you and even takes something of you.... However it is an experience like no other and I would do it again... Yup, my number one would have to be a huge elephant bull hunt done the right way and in the right place... Just damned hard to find the right place right now!

100+lb ele

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
