What state would you most like to bowhunt?
« on: May 01, 2009, 10:03:14 PM »
If you could hand pick your tags and win the special hunt drawing of your choice, then how would you rank the top five states that you'd like to bow hunt if money and time weren't a factor?  And what species would you like to hunt for in that state?

My list would read:

1. Alaska Moose
2. Utah Elk
3. Washington Elk
4. Alaska Grizzly
5. Kansas Whitetail

Unfortunately, money and time are a factor for me, so I only put in for WA elk and Kansas deer.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

If the mega millions ticket I bought panned out for me I think I would have to go with:

1- Washington Bighorn ( really Bighorn anywhere I don't care where as long as I hunt Bighorn ) :drool:
2- Washington Late Mule Deer
3- Vancouver Island Black Bear ( Does Canada count? )
4- Alberta Mule Deer or Arizona Elk
5- Washington Elk ( auction tag ) or if Claudia would just call!

My list would actually be longer but those are probably the top 5. Bighorn is my dream hunt the rerst are really tied for second.
Shut up and Hunt!

am surprised no one has mentioned Red Stag in New Zealand... of course that is a country not a state but still, between that and Kodiak for Brownies are my top dream hunts.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
