Hunting Trip
 

Just wondering for those of you guys who do/have hunted multiple big game species, what is a good animal to hunt for experience and value. I am looking to book/plan my next hunt after I graduate college this december and was looking for some input. I honestly hope to hunt everything in North America in my lifetime, so any critter is open for suggestion. I have taken whitetails and a nice antelope. Thanks for any input, Adam

I also want to keep the hunt under 4000 dollars for the most part.

RE: Hunting Trip
 

Any favorite critters to hunt out there?

RE: Hunting Trip
 

elk is an awesome experience and you can do it for well under 4000 if you try

I have enjoyed some good hunting trips for moose and Black bear in Sask. In my opinion that would be worth checking into. You can order hunting info and outfitter lists from the Government in Sask. The outfitter that I have been hunting with up there is retiring soon. His father passed away and it took both of them to run his outfit so he will stay in the fishing and give up the hunting.

Put in for the draw hunts.

I love to hunt the Oryx. Mean critters !!!

I also hunt Mule Deer,Sheep,
Black Bear, HOGGGGGGS, (cant seem to get enough, (Can also be some pretty nasty critters).
Elk, And would love to come across a moose hunt in the future.

I do alot of Yodle dog , and Prarie Dog hunting as well.

Heck this could go on and on. If there is a season for it here then I am there.

Well I'm hooked on elk hunting so I'm biased but for me nothiung compares to a big elk hunt in big country. With $4000 you've actually got a pretty good budget there. You can hire an outfitter or get private land access. But I'll tell you in the long run it'll cost you a lot more than $4000 cause you'll be hooked.

My ultimate dream hunt would be to hunt moose with a bow. I can always get deer/elk/antelope and bear tags but I have never gotton drawn for a moose tag. The sad part about it is that I got the occasional moose that come though the property here. :( Bobby

I would recommend a Pronghorn Antelope/Pheasant combo hunt. Antelope season opens around the same time as pheasants in most states.

HAs anyone ever hunted blacktails on kodiak island????? Looks like a riot.

RE: Hunting Trip
 

I've hunted and shot black tails on many of the islands along the coast of Alaska. I always liked hunting them, so some years i'd take 3 or 4 trips to one island or another.

There's a lot of deer on the islands, and i had no problem getting 4 or more every year.

I shot the buck in the pict. on Kodiak with my custom 7 Express Remington useing a 145 grain Speer bullet.

Thanks for all the input everyone!

RE: Hunting Trip
 

I'm really looking forward to hunting Elk with a bow. I've hunted them with rifle and heard a few close bugles which gets the blood pumping. They move so fast for such a big animal and next year I'm going to do it. I'd like to hunt Alaskan Moose too. I took one bull in Minnesota but they are a smaller subspecies than the alaskan.

RE: Hunting Trip
 

I cannot tell you how much I have wanted to do that!

RE: Hunting Trip
 

So Elk it is, by the majotities selection????????????

RE: Hunting Trip
 

Posted a swap hunt a few days ago-looking to make friends with hunters from the upper midwest . easy to get a bear up here in northwestern ontario. email me directly at [email protected]. this can be done at minimal cost.

RE: Hunting Trip
 

For my nickel, it is hard to beat a horse pack trip for elk. It is what I live for. Whatever your decision, good luck & good hunting.
