Dream Hunt

[sask boy]

This has probably been done many times before but lets try again :grin:
If you could pick one hunt before you had to hang the rifle up which one would it be. Let keep it in North America.
Mine would be my hunting buddies and me on a Barren ground Caribou hunt just to see those herds and pick out a nice I mean a really nice bull :wink: would be a thrill of a life time.

Blessings,
Dan

My dream hunt is a Moose hunt in the Yukon.

Mine would be grizzlies or brown bears in Alaska, Yukon, or BC. I'm not sure I could ever hang up my rifles so that is a stretch for me. Pretty sure the Whelen or 338 or probably both would go North with me though. Scotty

If we are just talking North America...Stone sheep hunt in BC. The ultimate test of stamina and hunting ability on the sheep's terms if you really want a nice full curl ram. For whatever reason, I want a Stone sheep more than any of the others :roll: .

Either a trophy elk on horses, or a Moose wherever it is that Shockey hunts! Retire the rifle "not".

My dream hunt is wherever I happen to be this year. Seriously, I enjoy all hunting opportunities. I would enjoy a hog hunt one day.

One of my dream hunts won't be able to happen sense my father past away. He was to busey taking care of moms health issues before his own health took his life. But have a son now that I want to go on a dream hunt with and that would be a combo Moose, elk and caribou hunt with him one of these days before I have health issues.

Your absolutely right passing down the heritage to our children and people in general. They can never take our memories away :wink:
Hopefully my grandchildren will take a liking to it they watch hunting shows with me all the time both my granddaughter and grandson :grin:

Blessings,
Dan

My dream hunt...... Subsistence hunting for the rest of my life somewhere "off the grid" north of the 60th parallel.

My dream hunt would definitely involve both my bros bein there and if confined to NA would occur in Alaska for sure! Quarry could be just about anything, but optimally each of us would hunt a different animal so all three could experience them.

+1 You know me, I'll shoot just about anything! If it has fur, headgear, or claws I want to whack one! Hunting with my bros is a good time, everytime!

An extended pack hunt into the Yukon for Moose, Grizzler, sheep, and anything else that gets in the way. Just out in the wilds for a month. But I'd settle for a Yukon Moose hunt.

 

[gerry]

I like all sorts of hunting and have had many dream hunts involving mountain goats, caribou, sheep, blacktailed deer in the Queen Charlotte Islands. This year it will be a goat and grizzly hunt in mid September, actually I have been looking forward to that for a long time. Possibly next year we may do a sheep/grizzly hunt but probably my ultimate would be a fly in trip with some friends to hunt sheep, caribou, grizzly and moose or elk.

I would love to hunt for antelope one day, javelina and hogs too, stuff we don't have here.

Alaska, The Yukon, or the Northwest Territories for a long hunt in the backcountry.

Moose. A huge Yukon or Alaskan bull moose... Something with GIANT antlers. Elk if available, there are some MONSTER bull elk in the Yukon I've been told. Grizzly at short range. Caribou. Want a wolf skin too. Do it all. Get all of the big northern game animals in one month long hunt, or six weeks. Photograph the heck out of it.

Eat fresh-caught trout, steelhead or salmon from glacier fed rivers. Pray for enough cold or enough DEET to keep the bugs at bay. Climb into the high country. Float a river. Yup, about six weeks of that would be darned near perfect.

I'd like to do it all with my .375 Number One, but I'd settle for doing it with my ancient M1917 .30-06, both with Noslers of course!

To make it perfect, I'd share it all with my sons.

Semper Fi, Guy

Man, what a hunt that would be Guy. I met a newly retired MGySgt in 1995. He basically did about the same thing in BC where I was hunting, we shared a camp for a few days. He stayed for 21 days and I was there for 14. He took a Mtn Goat, Grizzly, Elk, Moose and a caribou on his hunt. I remember chatting with him alot being a young man just about to join the Corps. He also took EVERYTHING with the 35 Whelen, and I believe it was a Classic M700. Can't remember what bullet he used, but he dumped everything. Pretty cool retirement gift. I would like to do much the same, but with my son as well. Scotty

I've seen some big elk here in Idaho but by far the biggest elk overall was standing in the highway in the Yukon bugling at about 2am with cows running around him. There is a elk refuge in the lower part of the Yukon that holds some monster elk.

It would be way cool to be able to dedicate that much time to a hunt like that.

Backcountry Alaskan or Yukon Moose hunt for at least a month.

Pronghorn in Wyo, SD, Mt, Colo, AZ, New Mexico, TX, and anywhere else they grow, one right after the other. Start in Sept or Oct. and stop about Christmas.... You said dream.....CL

Here's my reply to post about favorite animal to hunt from a few years ago.....
Well- even if I did write it myself here's my reply to a "favorite game animal" post last year. Still sums it up for me.

Pronghorn!!! PERIOD!! They fascinate me, a pre- historic survivor that can broad jump a fence, slide under thenm like a ball player coming in to home and get up on a dead run and never miss a beat. A built for running machine that makes a thoroughbred look like a shetland pony. They can see better, smell and hear as well as any whitetail. On ground that looks flat as a table, they can disappear, and make you look like a fool. True, they are not as hard to see or find as most other big game. There big down fall IMHO is that for a million years thay have been able to out distance any predator, they just dont see a need to run away.

Some one described them as being able to run 40 miles an hour over country that would turn a good 4 wheel drive into a pile of parts at 10 MPH.

I know you can drive into the right pasture and take a poke at one at 400 yds and fill your tag. Whether thats hunting or shooting is up to you. If you need a challenge go after one with a bow, or your trusty 30-30. They are the Rodney Dangerfeild of the big game world "they dont get no respect". Spend a couple hours watching a pair of bucks try and steal each others does. I guarentee you will be impressed. OK- you get my drift. CL

ps Besides that I love the country they live in and I can handle the cold better in early Oct. than the weather during deer season.

I want to hunt pronghorn.....CL

CL - dang - you've got it out for those pronghorns! :grin:
