Your 2025 Hunt Plans?

[19_A_CPT]

Have an elk hunt in September of 2025 in the Kootenay mountains of BC and hunting whitetail here in Alberta in the fall.

Did Namibia this past September - took Springbok, Gemsbok, Blue wildebeest, Kudu, Eland, Impala, jackal, and baboon - planning to return in 2026 with my wife and kids and do some fishing as well and then do my first Cape buffalo hunt in 2027. Reading everyone else’s plans, I’m thinking I need to get more ambitious!

After such a great hunting experience in Namibia, its hard to go back to only hunting whitetail every fall as well as elk, moose, and mule deer every few years when you get drawn here in Alberta.

Can I come as your buffalo backup gun? lol

I came home from Africa just at the start of deer season here in S.C., and had a really hard time getting excited about whitetail after hunting overseas.

Sounds like everyone has exciting plans for 2025. Will be looking for reports.
I will be taking 2025 off as of now. Recoup from some medical and plan for 2026 or 2027.
Good luck to all!

This is the exact reason I have never gone to Argentina on a high volume dove shoot. I dearly love dove hunting with a bunch of great guys. Going and shooting until you can’t shoot anymore would take a lot of the enjoyment out of my local hunts . I would still enjoy the fellowship with the guys and gals but the hunting would definitely be anticlimactic.

Your response @SCHUNTER73, was how I felt. Good to be spending time with hunting buds, past that I wasn't so excited sitting in a tree stand for rifle or muzzleloader season.
