I often try to explain to my wife and daughter this feeling, and usually resort to a quote by Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset, "One does not hunt in order to kill. One kills in order to have hunted."
But I think your quote is much closer to the mark

Ever since I saw Rinella take a moose horn up the arse, I have wanted to try a float hunt

This is a tough decision. But based on money….Markhor in its native range

But a desert bighorn would be a very close second.

Probably one of the large bears

Like others have mentioned, Mexico mule deer.

I like this one. Or hunting poachers in Africa

If you're gonna dream, dream big, right? So, in keeping with that fantasy: a hundred pounder elephant.

A couple of weeks from now I'll be having dinner with Guy Whittall in Nashville and, since he's going back into Mozambique soon (way north in Niassa), I expect that very subject to come up!

I'm pretty sure that the She-Wolf might let that happen, but I get the stink-eye every time I mention lion. Evidently she doesn't want anything to happen to her manservant...

My dream hunt would be to retire right now and go on a never ending pursuit to kill every species of big game animal in North America with a bow and arrow.

Gov’s tag 1st desert/rocky or 2nd Mulie tag, I just want a 365 day season with no limits, just me getting fired from my job because I hunted all year and the nastiest ram in the state 🤣

Mine is a Leopard with my uncle who seems to love being chewed on by Leopards. Close second is African Lion, not some lion mill lion, real deal stuff.
