Thinking about 2012 where to go?
« on: December 04, 2011, 11:01:24 PM »
I have really started thinking more about the 2012 hunting season. I am not going on my big trip back to new zealand again this year so I am looking to do a new hunt. I would also like to pick up another outfitter to book for in one of these areas. So I am seeing what everyone thinks about these hunts. I know some of you have done these hunts and I would love feedback. Also for those of you that have not what do you think you would like to do more? I have several great trips already setup next year but looking for another let me know what you guys think.

Australia: The most popular is the water buffalo but I would be more into the axis/black buck and boar hunts.

Hawaii: I would probably be after axis deer/wild boar and then some of the wild goats and sheep.

These are the two that I am thinking about the most. If you have a great hunt that you think comes to mind let me know! Outside of big bucks and bulls :chuckle:

I love visiting hawaii and never really thought of it as a hunting destination. It would be fun to do a hunt there and get to relax on the beach afterwards.

That is one I plan on putting in for! I think you have to draw a tag down there for one of the areas/ like the missle range. I will be researching that for sure. I know a few guys on here have done it before. I will be asking about that later and looks like a great hunt :tup:

Steve I have yet to kill a whitetail so alberta is a good choice as well. As far as bear hunting I think it would be fun but I am not a huge bear hunter. I drew the spring bear tag this year and shot a record book bear. I don't think I need to much more bear hunting past that. I do call for them every year here as well. I would love to pop a wolf but don't know if that's a hunt I could really sell much. Plus I don't know if I want to spend the $ on a wolf hunt. Plus you know the taxidermy bill would be big if I killed one so it would be life sized! :chuckle:

Deerslyr that is just my thought! I am not much for sitting on a beach but I will go any place to hunt. I also figure I could sell hunts to a lot of guys going over there anyways to hang out with the family. If they are there they might as well shoot something to :IBCOOL:

Keep it going guys! :tup:

If you like good weather, there are plenty of exotics in Florida plus a ton of other stuff to do like fishing.

I think it would be sell able as well. If I could find a decent 3 day hunt over there for hogs or some sort of deer that was reasonably priced I would go for it if I had the money. Fish and surf for 3 days and go huntin for 3 days would be sweeeet. Are you mostly looking into exotics right now? Where have you already been? Im pretty good at dreaming up hunts  :chuckle:

I have been around :chuckle: I am a hunting slu* :chuckle: Yeah I am looking more into exotics. I have lots of lope and deer and elk hunts already. The exotic hunts tend to sell better and most people like the exotic hunts :tup:

Exotic Ram for me, perfect for fueling the addiction during the off-season, but you know we've talked.  Also adds character to a game room.  Sitka Blacktail on POW would be a fun one, I know a lot or people that want to do that one, and you can harvest 4 bucks.  I also been thinking about a lope hunt, I just want one to say I did it.  Also a wolf is a must for me.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

I have a trip all ready to go, but I am just not a huge fan of africa. Plus lots of other people sell those hunts that know way more then me.
