Whitetail, but one of the late season hunts where there are only like 25 tags for a whole game management unit so nobody disturbs my 1870s cowboy larp.
what state is this?
AZ
I wish we had something like that, the only time we dont have to be covered in orange is bow season
Orange on hat should be the max required vis-gear. Everything else is moronic
Free range, fair chase Cape buffalo in Tanzania.
Probably an elk or moose hunt. I'm a simple man. I apply for the bear tag points every year but afraid to put in bc I hunt alone and no friends to invite.
Dall Sheep in Alaska.
Steven Rinella fanboy
There's just something about those mountains and those sheep that draws me in.
Polar bear with the Inuit.
Sika deer in Hokkaido with a Tanegashima and an Ainu guide
Bongo in the Congo with Pygmies. Gorilla if they weren"t endangered.
I to wish to hunt Africans.
They banned the trade a while back, but if you pay enough you can still trap them.
30 day plains game hunt in East Africa.
Probably humans to be honest. post apocalyptic new york, or maybe just somewhere on the west coast - sierra nevada - hunting some thru-hikers.
dream hunt (and i mean dream) is an irish elk hunt with my dad and teddy roosevelt as a guide, in edwardian era ireland at a nice hunting lodge.
for more realistic i'll just go for an elk in the rockies in a canvas tent.
If it could be anything at all (even with someone who is no longer with us)? African safari with Theodore Roosevelt.
My realistic dream hunt would be a hunt in some faraway place with Jim Shockey.
>Pronghorn in Wyoming
>Gemsbok in Namibia
That's pretty much it.
I once found a gator hook hanging off a power pole walking along a waterway down a highway. rednecks really be poaching these things in broad daylight.

It’s not illegal to hunt alligators moron. Maybe they were endangered 50 years ago but they are basically a nuisance animal now.
I like hunting pigs because the element of danger. Hippos in Columbia I guess. Be doing good for the area, they're scary and would be interesting to try lake cow bacon.
There’s a lotto system for alligator tags in Louisiana. I knew there were around 1,200 tags per years but I looked it up and they’re spread out over 400 people.
Personally I think it would be over rated. Fun sure, but there are better opportunities. You bait some hooks, come back the next day or so, choot em in da head (lol), and drag it into a boat. All of this is done in the peak of Louisiana summer (late August and early September), literally some of the worst weather in the country.
Better fun to be had here:
>hog hunting
There’s an extremely dense hog population.
>white tail deer
Again, it’s one of the most dense populations in the country. Mild winters means they rarely get skinny, and even the blacks can enjoy it because we all know how black folks feel about the cold.
>Nutria Rodeo Swamp Safari Shootout
Google it. It’s basically the Louisiana version of the Simpsons “whacking day” episode, but they shoot nutria from boats. There are prizes for most nutria, biggest nutria, best team name, best team costume, a nutria toss (?), and nutria cod hole (?).
I binge watched swamp people and I have started to feel bad for gators and dont want to hunt them any more
I've really romanticized hunting Musk Ox in my head but I know it won't be what I want it to be.
More realistic is Caribou.
Both of those I can get non-resident tags for I'm pretty sure. I love the far north and would love to spend more time up there.
>non-resident tags
Oof. I get it, but oof. It's gotten so bad where I am (Colorado) that my cousin hunts in the neighboring state (New Mexico) to get away from all the Texans and Oklahomos fricking up our hunting spots. Used to be they wouldn't go above 9,000 feet but now they're starting to go higher and pushing us out. He feels bad about as we're basically doing to New Mexicans what Texans are doing to us, but we don't have much of a choice anymore. I'd do it too if I could fricking afford it.
I only say non-resident in that I'm in Ontario and would have to fly to one of the territories to do these hunts. I've been that far north before. The tags and stuff would be pretty pricey but I could care less about encroaching on someone else's hunt because up there it's only natives and dudes like me anyways.
I suspect the problem with Colorado is that you have big tourist friendly cities and some amazing PrepHole locations right? Makes it easy for people trapped in shittier states to come and take advantage.
Also the amazing PrepHole is directly adajacent to the cities. Its an hour on the highway, zero barrier to entry.
>I suspect the problem with Colorado is that you have big tourist friendly cities and some amazing PrepHole locations right
The issue is that Colorado has been hyped up as a world class hunting locale for decades so everyone and their cousin wants to hunt here. Last year, CODW issued more non-resident archery elk tags than resident tags for my GMUs. Shit was fricked as they didn't even need a preference point. Kicker was I didn't even fricking draw.
I live on the West Slope, closest city is four hours away.
Campers.
I'll tell you my outfit, you guess what I'm hunting.
FAL
Short shorts.
Rhodesian Brushstroke.
Sounds like you're hunting (You)s
Dick
Elk hunt somwhere in burgerland.
Just seems really comfy to me.
Lots of hiking and glassing, for days.
Depending on where you go, the hikes are beautiful but not exactly comfy.
sometimes i think about buying a punt gun and mowing down the thousands of starlings that frick around in the cow pasture during the last bale of the year
fricking schieffelin hate that fricker
house sparrows too the wienersucker
Pigs in Florida
Elk and grizzly in Alaska with a blackpowder rifle
