Top Ten Must Do Hunts

[The_Grizz]

What would you say are the "Top Ten Must Do Hunts"? It doesn't matter if you have done them or you just really want to.

Mine:
10) A Blast & Cast Duck Hunt along the Texas Coast
9) Bow Hunting Elk (Colorado or New Mexico)
8) Rifle Hunting Free Range Sheep in Big Bend (Would settle for Alaska)
7) A South Texas Quail Hunt with Dogs and Some Type of Awesome Quail Rig
6) An Epic Texas Dove Hunt (One where everyone limits out)
5) Heli-Hog Hunting Pigs and Predators
4) Bow Hunting Whitetail During the Peak of Rut
3) Bow Hunting Free Range Exotics on the Edward's Plateau
2) Bow Hunting Free Range American Buffalo with Traditional Equipment
1) Bow Hunting African Plain's Game

I would probably also through in a traditional fox hunt on horseback with the royal family if it were still possible.

Top Ten Must Do Hunts

Daniel I think a lot of stag hunting in NZ is HF.
So if your ever about to book a trip there you might want to just make sure
Also a lot of HF in Africa granted they are huge but just be aware if you want "free range or fair chase"
My 10
10 Argentina dove
9 so cal quail and chukar
8 Midwest whitetail bow
7 north west Nevada mule deer bow
6 Colorado elk
5 Utah mule deer bow
4 big velvet axis bow
3 Alaska moose bow
2 grizzly gun
1 Texas whitetail bow or gun (my favorite time of year)

[Dustinmcnutt]

All with bow of course except birds
1. Marco Polo sheep
2. Kodak bear
3. Rocky Mountain bighorn
4. 170+ free range whitetail
5. Siberian ibex
6. Dall sheep
7. Argentina duck/dove
8. gold medal axis free range
9. African plains game safari
10. Arkansas mallard/ speck hunt

I could go on and on but, I'll stop at ten. Now if only I could hit the power ball.

No problem. I read an article a couple years ago and they described hunting this terrific mountainous huge land scape that just so happened to be fenced.
