Must do hunts - species & locations?

[Brent in Az]

Always wanted to do one of those 3-4 week classic full-bag African safaris (just don't have the time). Polar bear and Marco Polo Argali would be a hunt of a lifetime too.

But, I would settle for actually drawing a desert bighorn tag before I am too old to use it.

Me too. I will probably go to my grave before drawing a sheep tag in Az.

Better save the post when I said that, and check back in, say, five years. Then see if I'd fork over the $$$ for a bongo hunt.
Mountain Nyala are beautiful, some of my favorite antelope species. That hunt is far more attractive cost wise than a Bongo hunt - but still pricey!

I've done both bongo and mountain nyala, and I have the opposite opinion! I believe the bongo is a much more reasonable hunt that the mountain nyala. The trophy fee on the mountain nyala is $15,000 and is expected to increase, I'm told. The trophy fee on the bongo is a little less than $5,000 I think. In 2016 a bongo hunt could be had for just under $40,000 (13 days) while a mountain nyala hunt was generally 16 days and just under $50,000.

But I don't have the last word - there may be people with great deals, although I think in both Cameroon and especially Ethiopia, the government makes most of the rules.

I recommend Barbary sheep in West Texas as a very affordable open range 'big boy' hunt that requires physical exertion and rugged terrain. Prices are in the $5k range for good ram. Also unpredictable weather.

As an Alaskan I tell people to look at a fly out for caribou more than moose. Not that a moose isn't amazing, but your odds are a lot tougher, transportation fees add up and dealing with a 1200+ pound deer is work. Wait, I mean...WORK.

Getting flown into a good 'bou herd is just amazing.

I was going to write "Moz/Zim/Tan/Zam" but that sounded too much like the name of a boy band!

I thought those were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...........

At my age any hunt I can do is pretty much the ultimate! Waiting on my September Cape buffalo and African varmint Sunset to Sunrise hunt with PawPrints.
After that what ever I can afford and physically do would be awesome!
Don't be too picky. Take what ever you can. Life isn't forever.

Dall sheep in Alaska is a good one too. Next time I go up there caribou is on the list.

Hi, I would like to hunt Buffalo and Eland in Africa. Mule deer in the USA, and my favorite prairie dogs where available.
