=================

FOWL! TILT! VIOLATION! Only ONE animal, referee don't care about any 21-28 day package restrictions!
OKAY,
WHAT: Brown Bear
WHERE: Kodiak or Afognak Island in Alaska Or Kamchatka penensuila of Russia
WEAPONS: 416Rigby (Main), 375 H&H (Back up), 45-70 Guide Gun (Auxillary, depending on cover where were hunting that day)

Dream Hunt: Dall Sheep, Brooks Range, Alaska, .30-06 my father built, glass 'n stalk.

Favorite Hunt: whitetail, Oklahoma, .243, impromptu ground blind (just pick a spot from which to ambush the deer, no prepared "blind" other than clipping some brush to clear a firing lane). I'm relatively new to hunting or other hunts would place higher, like an elk hunt I want to make one of these days.

Favorite hunt now- elk with the bow
Runner up- turkey with a bow-without a blind, gets tough not to be seen
Dream Hunt- Kodiak with a bow, would be a huge rush.

Dream hunt---man that's hard. A black mane lion is really high on the list-----but a BIG grizzly is right there also. Cape buffalo is not to far behind. Rifle----375 H &H.


Favorite hunt---man another hard one. I really like my elk hunting, with a wall tent & wood stove. The guys in camp, story swapping, the fire etc. But for just plain fun an antelope hunt is hard to beat. Lots of stalking & glassing. Just a ton of fun.

Most memorable----Bighorn sheep here in Colorado. Years of waiting for the tag, the workouts in the gym to harden up your legs for climbing. The scouting, glassing , finding sheep. Man it doesn't get any better. "The Rockies are God's finest creations"

My rifle for all the above hunt is the ole 30/06 with a 2.5 X 8 Leupold VarX III. Remington 700 LH. I bought the gun when I was 15 from money earned as a paperboy & then as a grill boy at the local Dairy Queen.

Dream Hunt - African Safari for Cape Buffalo and Lion

Favorite Hunt - Annual trek up above the Arctic Circle near Kotzebue for moose, caribou, and grizzly. It ain't heaven, but it's as close as I have been. Drop off hunt in the wilderness. It's as primitive as primitive can be, and as humbling as it gets.

My dream hunt would have to be Dall Sheep! I am absolutely in love with those animals! They just amaze me by thier beauty as well as the terrain they live in. My weapon of choice would probably be the good ole .30-06.

I also am wanting to be able to hunt all 3 species of sheep, and mountain goat here in Nevada, as well as elk and antelope, though, I will probably die before I draw all 3 sheep AND mountain goat!!

I simply have no desire to go to Africa, don't know why, it just doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Another animal high on the list would have to be Kodiak bears.

As for my favorite hunt. I have only hunted two things, Mule deer, and rabbits. As strange as it may sound, I like to hunt the rabbits just as much as I like to hunt for Mulies. There is just so much action during rabbit hunting that it is insane. And then again, if the timing is right, Mule deer can present some non-stop action also!!
