If you had only One trophy...

[johnnyblues]

A very close second would be a Kodak Brown bear.

so @Erny you didnt fancy a black and white Kodak bear or one in colour??

 

[tarbe]

Which trophy?

The next one, of course!

 

[Muskox man]

Cape buffalo for sure. There is no substitute.

 

[flyfishaz]

375+ Bull Elk.

Oops I will blame the my I device auto spell for that one. If I had a choice I would choose one in color. Black & White would make for a boring mount.

Other than most local area hunting the overall cost has increased greatly decade after decade. That is especially true when it comes to international hunting which has always been expensive and beyond the means of most hunters.

I still like to dream and one never really knows what tomorrow will bring. But for the most part I feel very fortunate for the times I have gone to far off places and hunted game that I had only dreamed about a year or two earlier. I also don't think any of us will ever realize the dream of doing it all, but we're sure lucky to have put a dent in that dream compared to many others who haven't been as fortunate.

Just to get out of bed and discuss our hunting dreams and memories with others sure beats the hell out of the alternative.

Good dreaming and good hunting to us all!

Very well said said sir. I too am grateful for the hunting and memories I have. Always good to dream big!

I agree with the region of Africa and spiral horn addiction with enysse but would probably reverse the order with Lord Derby, bongo, mountain nyala. As far as what I have, can, or probably will every hunt ... it would be another spiral horn ... the kudu!

I agree Big5, I'm happy for the hunting I have been able to do. To complain about what I can't do is waste of time. I still will be happy hunting impala or warthogs or anything for that matter.

 

[petrusg]

Thanx Tim
