Your 2025 Hunt Plans?

South Africa night hunt in August with Kemp.

 

[HuntingGold]

Gee whiz, after reading all the responses, I'm feeling a little under gunned. With that said, I'm in Spain now. Shot a Southeastern Ibex two days ago and will start on the Ronda tomorrow afternoon.

2025? I hope to get to a nice little Africa visit in mid-July with my friend Warren.

With that said, I'm taking my wife to the Sheep Show in January and maybe the Western Wildlife Expos as well... she is getting the bug and may add to the list!

If not, I have eleven grand babies that need attention! Especially in the shooting sports. I hope to be there for them.

 

[Rare Breed]

And you need that for your tie!

I know plus a Grouse and fish I believe!!!

The fish is probably the hardest of the lot, a 5kg tiger is not common. But we will sort that out on your next trip to Zimbabwe! In the meantime get the Scottish Highland stag, and the bird can be partridge, pheasant or grouse. And a dram or two and some haggis.

Nothing international planned (currently ) but Banteng in the NT around September, with the usual Aussie suspects on the cards any other R&R break.

Don’t laugh probably cheating…can I take the pheasant on a hunt in the US?

Going back to Blaauwkrantz in South Africa for 9th visit in May.. I will hunt Cape buffalo. Got my first buffalo this past May and I am now officially an adrenaline junky!

The bird must be taken in the UK, not strictly Scotland, anywhere in the UK. Why not take ir at the same time that you come for your stag? We can assist, I'll tell you more on the Carruthers thread.

Still working on 2025 plans, but what I currently have scheduled/booked are:
- ducks and geese on the Eastern shore of MD in January,
- spring turkey in SC in April,
- tahr and chamois in New Zealand in May,
- black bear / whitetail in NC in November,
- pheasants in Nebraska in December.

Still trying to get a elk hunt this fall in Utah or Idaho.

 

[Safari Dave]

Nothing yet, but the auctions are about to happen, and I'm a sucker!

DSC is in Atlanta in January, so who knows???

(Why Atlanta, BTW???) I live nearby, and I like it, but I don't understand it...

 

[Pablo]

You hombres are killing me! I’ll have to read your reports on here to get my fix, mostly. After spending a lot of dollars this past year, (and still have to pay for taxidermy) I’m relegated to some fishing trips at the coast here in Texas. My wife and I like to hike, and we just did some hiking in Big Bend last week. We are trying to plan a tourist trip to Alaska, we have no idea where to go yet.

 

[LivingTheDream]

I have to ask question: how do you manage available spare time to get two times or more to Africa in a year!?

Stop caring about work. I'm halfway serious about that.

Bezoar Ibex (Turkey) in Feb
Leopard (Namibia) in July
Chamois (Croatia) in November

Going to be a good year!

Well, I might after my kids graduate at college.

Good plan you have there for 2025! Wish you success!

I see you have Chammy planned in Croatia for next year. If you have any questions about my country let me know any time!

 

[Frederik]

Nothing set in stone yet need to get through last few weeks of 2024 first.

A trip to Belgium to show my wife where I come from in mid June 2025

But planning to do a week in Waterberg mountains hunting for meat and hopefully a klipspringer or mountain reedbuck trophy, July 2025

The rest will be open for any good deals that pops up and the cashflow being there.
Luckily I'm here in SA already so no heavy planning on flights etc.

 

[Bandera]

Deer hunt through late January if I don’t bag this one before Christmas.

March hog hunting in Tennesse.

June Buffalo in South Africa.

Working on a Dove hunt in September

 

[Bsto270]

I have a tame 2025 on tap, just local whitetails in PA and a week of flyfishing in MT. Gathering more points to try and draw for Antelope in MT in 2027 ( will be DIY with a friend that lives out there).

 

[PARA45]

Although not strictly 2025 I am off to Scotland on the 20th December and whilst there will try for a sika, roe deer and a pheasant shoot.
In April/May my son in law comes out from Scotland to Zim and we will be after a buffalo and a tiger fish for him. If I see a scrum cap I will take him.
In June/July Eastern Cape for fallow deer and mountain reedbuck with my other son in law.
In October we all participate in the Kariba tiger fish tournament.

When in Jun will you be in the Eastern Cape? I'll be there in the middle of Jun. Hopefully we bump into each other, love to meet you.

 

[GuttormG]

With Norwegian economy going down the drain, it will be something local.

Hi UK Hunter, no this is not a McNab. It is just a challenge for our Carruthers members to achieve. Carruthers & Co is a small hunting and fishing club of life-loving adventurers and we dream up challenges from time to time. The Golden Tie challenge requires our group to hunt some specific quarry in Africa and Scotland. A bit of fun. Spice has no value in a bottle.

When in Jun will you be in the Eastern Cape? I'll be there in the middle of Jun. Hopefully we bump into each other, love to meet you.

As soon as I have the plans cemented I will let you know Para45. It would be great to meet up. Kevin
