I'm talking about a travel and spend some money guided hunt. Retired, and I have one, maybe two big hunts left in my bank account and these aging bones. Any suggestions are welcome, but here are some things I am considering.
Africa - plains game, including buffalo. Never been, and I hear good things. But I'm not much of a trophy hunter, mostly because I have no place to hang hides or horns. I'd love to get a big buff, but a good one requires a big wall. OK, I guess I could find a big enough wall. And Africa is supposed to be a relative bargain.
Alaska/Western Canada - moose and caribou. Same deal on the horns, but these hunts are pricey. Have the money, but are they worth it?
Yellowstone region - elk, moose, mulies. I used to live there, and I have killed elk and deer. Idaho has been pushing their moose tags recently, though their subspecies is not as big as Alaska's. Since I have plenty of time, I could drive out and haul meat home. One place I never got into when I was there is the central Idaho wilderness area. Probably the wildest place in the lower 48.
You can see where I'm leaning, but there might be two hunts left. What would be your choice, or do you have an addition to the list?
