Default saving for my FIRST ever travel/guided hunt

Hey guys, well I had a friend that shot a moose this year, and I took a long hard look at my budget and realized that an awesome destination hunt is a realistic possibility for 2021 or 2022.

All of last week I looked into different possibilities, including newfoundland moose, and South Africa. I am really open to anything other than whitetail, as I hunt those for free.

I would like to find something that has a success rate on the higher end of the spectrum. Going after a record book animal is not really my goal, and I'd probably be happy with something that other people that do this every year would pass on. I just know myself and how frugal I am, and if I spent several thousand dollars and never felt like I was even close to pulling the trigger I will likely not be able to justify doing it again. I know hunting is hunting, but on my first trip I want to do something where it looks like my odds are at least 80%. Also, no high fence.

So, what suggestions do you guys have? Specific outfitters, or even just state and species recommendations are fine.

Thanks in advance!
