Your Ultimate Trophy

You get one hunt you can go on, for one animal, once in your life.......Where do you go?


For me, my ultimate trophy is a Rocky Mountain Bighorn in B.C

Red Stag. Patagonia or New Zealand.

I’m completely pleased with where I hunt big whitetails right now. No bucket list hunt for me. Interesting topic so I am curious about others wish list.

Desert bighorn anywhere I could get a tag.

Sonora Mexico mulie.

Coyotes in LaSalle County, Tx.

African Lion in Botswana

Yep, with a preference for West Texas.

Mountain Lion without dogs in Arizona.

I got mine over 40 years ago. Mountain Goat in British Columbia. Hanging on the wall and every time I look at it, what
great memories it brings back. Of course back then the whole trip including air from Ft. Worth, to B.C. and the hunt, guide etc was
a total of $3,000 only thing not included was the mounting of the goat.

180" deer on my land. LF of course.

Have never really had any desire to hunt anywhere exotic, except I would like to bird hunt in Argentina. Alaskan Grizzly or Moose would be cool as well.

Elk deep in the mountains, CO or further west

X2, especially packing in on horse back or mule.

that actually means its gotten cheaper. If you stuck that $3K in the market at that time, you'd have $48k today.

I still haven’t made a bass fishing trip to El Salto. That’s the only trophy destination I’ll ever go to. I would like to kill an elk in west Texas, but I won’t pay to do so. I might pay to run mountain lion with dogs one day but I doubt it.

I ride with the Reverend. A close second would be anywhere I could get a world class muley. Likely Colorado, I guess.

I have a bighorn from CO,


a mountain goat from CO


and a Stone Sheep from Northern BC.


And I inherited this from my Grandfather who got it when he was a missionary in China before WWII


But I would dearly love to hunt an Ammon Argali


A Golden Takin


And a Zebra Duiker


All are still available on legal hunts but you need deep pockets for all of them except the Zebra Duiker and that one depends on a lot of luck.

Had mine back in 2006. Nebraska has once in a lifetime elk hunt. Took 21 years to draw. 325 B&C 6x7 bull. Kept track of all costs from time I left until Bull in freezer and mount in man cave. Total cost (including mount and 11 cu ft freezer) $2,300. That wouldn’t hardly cover the kill fee alone today.

Very nice QMC!

If its anywhere at any price

Id be chasing a 400" bull elk in one of a handful of states

Archery and having it screaming near me under 40 yards

Hot dam wish I was rich AF!

I have two and neither are super expensive both could be tough or easy hunts and most importantly..... in Texas or.... no thanks.

A true free range Aoudad and a Badger

Feral Bull/Vancouver Bull hunt in the rain forest on the Big Island of Hawaii.

This guy. Or his older brother/cousin. SVC in Zim or maybe Zambia. Not holding out a lot of hope for Botswana ever pulling their finger out...

It sure about the trophy but the hunt I think I would enjoy the most would be a European driven boar hunt.

Very nice collection

Mule deer in eastern plains of Colorado

Elk

Dove hunting with my dad.

Mountain lion with a handgun with my 610 10mm or get to hunt south TEXAS whitetail . Knocked the mule deer trophy off the list this past season. No huge rackbut the son set it all up and priceless memories made that day.

1. Mountain lion while calling for coyotes.
2. African Lion.
3. Big Horn Sheep.

I've been lucky enough to be able to hunt just about anything I set my mind on, within reason. I grew up from the age of 10-12 reading Jim Corbett and stories about leopards and tigers. Tigers will never happen, but about 50 years later I was able to hunt cats in Namibia, and fulfill my dream!!!

My ultimate trophy is a good looking woman that loves to hunt & fish that doesn't bich.

If you've got one of these on your HF ranch I may bite and pay the price.

LF is better.

Trophy Mule deer in Mexico or Red Stag in New Zealand .

Alaskan Moose would be the top of my list.

Holy chit!
One of the best mounts I've ever seen. Just beautiful!

Congrats

I’ve found my ultimate trophy….






But I am planning on going after a turkey this spring and ducks next fall with my black powder shotguns….

My grandfather and father all had the opportunity to hunt big jaguar in South America and I missed out on that, so that's always been an impossible wish list item. I also always wanted to hunt cape buffalo, that one is still a possibility.

But my ultimate trophy is a big Rocky Mountain Elk bull!

Red stag in New Zealand or a grizzly hunt in Alaska.

Nice leopard. I believe I got my greatest trophy. Product of my own hard work and management. I got this old weird fella at 17 yards after 8 years of trying,

I'm right there with you on that one.

Might as well go on a chupacabra hunt. That would be a cool mount.

Lord Derby Eland, Bongo or Mountain Nyala...flip for any, would be fine either way.

I think I'd like an elephant or lion. There is a long list of stuff I hope to get some day, mountain goat, bighorn, grizzly, but if I'm dreaming here, it would be elephant or lion.

Kodiak on Kodiak

A monster south Texas buck would do.

Is that li
Is that like a snipe hunt…..

Alaskan Moose and Brown Bear.

I just want to kill an audad on my buddy's lease that he claims we are going to. I don't fly so it minimizes my options.

Man don’t let not flying stop you.

I’m not a fan of flying either, so I drive to majority of my hunts. Driving to Idaho soo and last year I drove to Ohio.

i have killed the big audad 35 in when i got him he was no 13 in sci bigger ones have been killed since shot a griz inside the artic circle killed several big so tex and mexico deer no book deer though but close, i would love to have a mountain lion walk out of the brush no calls no dogs just a lion what a thrill

Elephant hunting is the most addicting, adrenaline filled, exciting and terrifying hunting you will ever do in your life. I have chased animals all over, but they are the only ones I have ever run FROM!!!!!!

I have two animals that I will make a point to hunt in my life time a monster Sonora mule deer and an impala. If we’re really dreaming I’d love to shoot the impala in Africa but a big enough place in Texas would work for me as well.

Maybe New Zealand Red Stag. If we are really dreaming, maybe a Kamchatka brown bear! I think that brown bears in the most remote parts of the Canadian boreal forest might be a runner up to that.

red stage stalk in scotland and/or driven pheasant in scotland

170 + WT from South Texas.

I think for me it would be a grizzly in Alaska.



I don’t understand why we can’t hunt big cats in Texas. There are probably as many here as in their natural habitat. Stupid politicians.

My wife dreams of a giant moose hunt, I’d be happier for her shooting that them anything else!

So many things I'd like to do.

Siberian Ibex in Russia / Mongolia would be up there. Spanish Ibex in the Pyrenees would be great, too.

But still got a lot of North American stuff to do.

Not my answer to this thread, but this is in my top five.

Maybe a Markhor. They have badass horns.

Giant red stag in New Zealand,

A drop camp hunt in Alaska for Caribou and Moose.

Dream hunt would be a Markhor in Tajikistan but if it was only one hunt my entire life, I would say Mountain Goat in Alaska.

A young (skinny) Kate Upton.

I have been very lucky to go on some awesome hunts over my lifetime - British Columbia, Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Spain, and half of the states in the USA it seems like.

I got to take awesome Gredos Ibex, Elk, Red Stag, Kudu, Impala, Bush buck, Oryx, and multiple trophy whitetail bucks.

But to be honest the 201 LF B&C book whitetail I took a few years back is something I do not think I can ever top and is my Ultimate Trophy

The one animal I have not connected with so far is a trophy mule deer - tried several times to no avail - before I get to old to do a hunt I am going to focus on a mule deer

For some reason I never had any interest in bear and a few other species - all in all I would not change a thing

First pic is of the Red Stag I took - he was number 3 in the world at the time



The 201 buck


Others taken - Kudu, Elk, etc.

A 170" plus buck here at the house. Paying to hunt an animal on someone else's land does absolutely nothing for me.

I enjoy growing big deer and managing the wildlife more than anything else.

I want to kill a nice Spanish goat on a 40 acre property.

I want to hunt an elk in Montana or Colorado.

A big mature Wolf from Idaho/Montanta

Lion im Tanzania

Dall sheep.....Brooks Range, Alaska. Took 3 trips to put my crosshairs on one. That was my dream hunt.

A big, wild Lion in Tanzania.....but will need to win the lottery first.

I'd like to walk out across my pasture and flush a covey of quail. Looks like they're gone forever from my neck of the woods.

I am with you here. Under some strong consideration.

One is had a lot easier than the other and is vastly different in cost.

You want to hunt either let me know, I can point you in the right direction

Trophy whitetail in Canada
