Title: What's your dream animal?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on December 30, 2012, 08:01:18 PM
Been awhile since we did one of these topics. I posted this in "other big game" so I am not talking about deer and elk but something out of the normal.

The more I see them, the more I would love to take a Marco polo sheep.

How about you guys?

Stone sheep as well.  Or to be more realistic, I'd be pretty pumped getting another bull moose, but this time an Alaskan with a bow.  Kodiak brown bear on the mind as well.  Now I'm dreaming!

My hunting goal within the US is to take a big bull moose in AK with my bow. Not sure about outside the country, there are so many choices! I would like to shoot an alligator gar with my bow and try catfish noodling someday though  :)

I'm simple, just want a moose. I've been putting in here for 25+ years and MT for about 10 years (until they cut permit numbers way down and alienated out of state hunters).

Ok and a Cape buffalo. One of the only African animals I'm interested in. Other than a zebra.

Stone, Rocky, Desert sheep.  Red stag (already booked for that one), Yukon moose, and Coastal brown bear just to get started. :yike:

Post by: Sitka_Blacktail on December 30, 2012, 09:58:40 PM
My dream animal is whatever is legal, local and good to eat.  That runs from grouse to deer and elk here in Washington, and included moose and snowshoe hare in Alaska.

Bay up a jag with my hounds in new Mexico, I might just kill myself after that cause i know life ain't getting better than that.
Title: Re: What's your dream animal?
Post by: RadSav on December 30, 2012, 10:39:01 PM
Since I voiced my opinion of our horrible elk hunt in BC my final trip for goat up there was cancelled by the outfit.  So I still need to get one of those before I'm too broken. (which might already be too late :chuckle:)  So that probably tops my list. 

My grizzly hunt was also cancelled by the BC F&G.  Guess all those big bear I've been seeing up there are 800# blackies as the F&G said there are no more grizzlies in that territory. :bash:

So!  I have just booked a goat/grizzly hunt in the Yukon for 2014.  Hope that can put them both on my list at the same time.  Outfitter is trying to get me to add Stone Sheep.  Guess if the business sells next week I'll add that ;)

The animal I want more than all others is a huge A/Y moose.  I've put off booking a trip for one figuring I'm not yet old enough to take a moose over the high mountain critters yet.  But, I think I'm getting close.  Thinking that will be my 50th birthday present to myself.  That is if I don't die of a stroke on the mountain first.

I heard about an extremely pale cougar roaming around 'way up in the Yellowknife area - it was reportedly almost white.  That's one of the more unique big game animals I've ever heard of, and I'd love to take one like it. 

A large, mature Spirit Bear from coastal B.C. would also be pretty cool.

Wild mountain beaver?  Unfortunately, the WDW (wife's department of wild-living) doesn't issue that permit to me.   :chuckle:

My dream animal would be any animal I could harvest on a dream trip. That trip would include my dad and brother and other family and friends, and my kids when they get older, on a pack trip or some remote cabin.  The story of which we can recount over and over and over, like my grandpa did with his stories when I was a kid.  That's my dream.

re hunting in Africa; that's something I personally don't quite get.  I've been to Kenya and Tanzania.  Hunting any large animal on the Serengeti with a rifle would be about as difficult as hunting a steer in the pasture.

Here's a pic from part of my African adventure.

A stone sheep would be my dream hunt by far. Probably won't ever happen. I always wanted a barren ground caribou but the mountain caribou would be the most beautiful and coolest hunt of all the bous.

WSF has raffle tickets on sale now for the upcoming Reno Show.  Five people will be going home with a dream hunt at odds I expect will be far better than OIL tags in Washington.  WSF raffle drawing is a "Need not be present to win" raffle.  I'll probably be dropping a grand or so on tickets.  Good cause even if you don't win something. 

For those of you who dream of a sheep hunt and not thinking it will ever happen you cold be the Lucky Dog for $20.00 a ticket or less!!!

Hunts to give away are:

10 day stone's sheep - Yukon
Desert Bighorn - Baja
10 day Dall's Sheep - NWT
14 day Bighorn - Alberta
8 day Mid-Asian Ibex - Kyrgyzstan

Plus:
Jack O'Connor Tribute rifle
Blaser R8 rifle
Beaver Jacket w/Lynx trim

Could be more hunts and merchadise by the time the drawing happens on February 2!
