What would it be if $$$$ was not a factor?
I think I would have to go to Arizona or Montana for a big bull Elk, that is if I do not get drawn in Ky.
Otherwise, it would be a plains game hunt in South Africa.

Hmmm. Either bowhunting for a big ole nastly bull elk in New Mexico or KY (Primos Style), or bowhunting for a monster B&C whitetail in Kansas, Iowa or possibly Ohio.
I might add with lots of vacation time (all hunting season, lol) and some good buddies to share the excitement of the hunt!:D

At this point in my addiction I would probably choose to bowhunt for b&c's at a nice outfitter in Iowa or ohio.
But hunting black bear with a bow in canada would be a blast as well.

Red Stag in New Zealand or a Greater Kudu in Africa. I would settle for anything that involves me, a bow, and something wild though!
Put me down for a trip to South Africa. For years I could not seen to see the fascination in the plains animals, but something has changed my mind drastically.

Mine would be bowhunting on an intensly managed farm for whitetail bucks. Like MC Denny said with some good friends for about a month! That would be great!

Both of those sound great to me too.
An African trip with multiple species would be right up my alley.
I'd also love to try a moose hunt in Alaska.

I would like to wander around Africa with a bow.
I am taking one of my other dream hunts in a few weeks. Canada Caribou with a bow!!!!!! I can barely think of anything else right now. I made plans to go on this trip 2 years ago! Hard to believe it is finally here! Hopefully I have a few pics to post when I get back.

Another Kentucky Zone-at Large bull permit and a week with my bow at Elk Country Outfitters of Wayland Kentucky. That 400 inch bull wouldn't have a chance!!

This is my dream Elk hunt believe it or not! As for a B&C buck, I know the state,farm, and tree to get in! All I need is a tag!:(

Raven, you going to let me go along again? You might need someone with a strong back and a weak mind to carry the camera!:D

That is the easiest question I have ever been asked....I have actually done it but I would give anything to do it again.
I would love to be able to go back in time and just go on a deer hunt with my dad and brother back in the mountains of Harlan County KY again just like when I was a kid. Those were without a doubt my golden years of hunting and there is no hunt in the world that could ever come close to comparing to the pure joy and excitement of those days in the deer woods. I would love to be able to do that again but sadly none of our old hunting spots no longer exist thanks to strip-mining, logging (in these cases clearcutting) and oil/gas well drilling.:(:mad: Nothing will ever compare to those days in the field. I just hope when my kids are old enough to hunt there will still be somewhere that I (and hopefully their grandpa too) can take them without having to take out a second mortgage on my home.

I've done the Canadian spring bear bow thing,and thats a blast,but my dream hunt would be a fall bow hunt in Alaska for coastal brown bears.I'd like to spot and stalk where the rivers meet the ocean,when the salmon are running and the bears are hitting them hard.Find a good one and stalk in close enough for the shot,letting the sound of the surf cover any noise.Sadly,thats a little out of my league as those hunts start about $12,000 and go from there......

Although I would really like to hunt white tail up north where they get monster size. I would really like to hunt kodiak bear on Kodiak Island in Alaska or go on a week hunt somewhere with Jim Shockey I think all of these would be a hunt of my lifetime....

I would love to go on an elk hunt in New Mexico or bow hunt mule deer in the plains. I like to watch those guys sneak up on bedded mule deer from 800 yards off. They take off their shoes and wait for 5 hrs. for the deer to get up. That would be awsome.

Elk hunting with my "adopted son" who guides in Wayland Ky. And, Raven, another cow hunt would be just fine, thank you. Also, right up there is an antelope hunt on the high plains of Eastern Colorado(which I do every year), and, hunting Easterns on my own place in April ain't bad duty either! At my age, any hunt is a "dream hunt". LOL

50"+ Ibex and brown bear in Khazahkstan. Note to self: any country ending in the letters "stan" is probably a good place for an American to get shot or kidnapped. Guess my fantasy hunt will have to remain that.

Plus throw in " We had to travel in a Russian Helicopter" and you have the makings of a real adventure.

Plus throw in " We had to travel in a Russian Helicopter" and you have the makings of a real adventure.
I fished for Taimen and salmon in Siberia, and we had to travel to and from the river in an old Russian military Helicopter.
At first, I was extremely uneasy about flying about the Russia wilderness in a vessel that could only be described as a rusted pile of nuts and bolts.
However, my fears dissipated completely once I noticed the three quarters empty vodka and cognac bottles that were clinking around as they rolled back and forth between our pilots and co-pilots' chairs.
