If you could...

I know this question has been asked before, but it would be nice to here from some of the newer members. What animal would you like to handgun if time and money were no problem?? For the sake of a good topic this list can include endangered species as well.
My number one is a Siberian tiger and number two would be a polar bear. As you can see from my answer this will never happen
so number three is a big black mane lion..... What`s yours???

That's a good question. I'd like to go after a grizzly or brown bear armed only with a handgun. Second place is a wolf. Third? Maybe a fallow deer. I've already killed a fallow deer with a rifle, but I want to hunt one with a handgun, too.

Mine is not very special but I love big muleys and some of the areas of Utah,Nevada,Montana right next door and mexico could make me a real happy guy.

Tiger because they spooked me so bad in VietNam. Cape Buffalo and Wart Hog would be next.

Hog,Elk,Pronghorn. In any order. I have the time, now if only...............

Kudu
Brown Bear
Maybe a Cape Buffalo

I hope to be able to do #1 and 2.
#3 will require more income and more balls on my part

Kudu.
The blonde color phase bear on our property.
Hogs / warthogs.

#2 has taken place every year for the past 3 years, and I still can't get that sucker. #1 and #3 will be a combined hunt... someday.

I would like to kill a bull elk with my 480 Ruger,using my own cast bullets,I would get a lot of satisfaction,your"e coming up with some great answers guy"s, I hope your dreams come true.

Always wanted to handgun an elephant, probably with my 500sw encore.
Always loved those videos of charging elephants dropping at hunters feet. Seems it would be pretty amazing,to see and harvest such an animal.

I guess im kind of a vanilla kind of guy. I would like to shoot bears , black grizz, brown and polar. An elk a mule deer. But to be honest the thing I want to hunt the most would be buffalo.... good old fashion north American bison . Have dreamed about it since I was a kid... to be honest I dreamt about it again a a few weeks ago.. think it would be awsome to have all that meat to share with my family... and a baffalo skin robe . Never wanted to go to Africa and hunt them critters. Just dont see a point to it. A safari just to look take pics... maybe a balloon safari . Perhaps a gator.

A Takin. Followed by a Tur.

My list is way too long, but just a few would be Alaskan Moose, Brown Bear, Cape Buffalo, and Grand Slam of sheep would be pretty cool.

Norm, we're on the same page!

#1 - a wheelgunned Cape Buffalo

#2 - Carmen/Tiburon Island bighorn sheep, wheelgun style

#3 - Marco Polo sheep

#4 - Alaskan moose, coming to the call


I need to play the lottery more often.

Elephant with 375jdj no doubt...

planning on a wheelgun water buff in 3-4 years. would love to do a timber elk hunt with my 44 magnum om flattop,and a moose hunt with my Gallagher bisley.

Coastal brown bear, cape Buffalo, polar bear in that order

I have to go with coastal brown bear and an over 60" moose.

Sitka blacktail/brown bear combo
Any full curl sheep species

Alaskan moose.

I would love to go way up in the Canadian bush to handgun hunt a big old dark horned white tail and a moose too. Would love to shoot some bottle necked cartridges out of my Encore. Only straight walled allowed here in Michigan and no handguns in Canada. But, those are hunts I would love to do someday. One can dream...

A very large black maned lion, with a 480Ruger. Second, a large Kodiak brown bear. Third, acape buffalo. Fantasy hunt, a velociraptor.

Polar bear. I like extreme climates. But griz would due.

squirrel!

Pretty happy hunting Ohio whitetails.

But want to start handgunning for small game.

No. one would be Moose then Elk then maybe some kind of African plains game.

First I'd like to do an Alaskan safari: Moose, Brown Bear, Black Bear, Caribou, Mountain Goat, Dall Sheep, Wolf, Wolverine, Elk, Bison, and Blacktail Deer. Although it's a dream that won't happen, I'd still love to do it. Second would be an African Safari for random big game (targets of opportunity).

P.S. I left of MuskOx

I have to start with black bear. Probably the easiest to achieve (closest to home and limited budget).

#1 Kudu or any African plains game #2 6x6 Elk or 5x5 Mule Deer, #3 Grizzly or Brown Bear..then after I got that all done I would do a North American Super Slam just for fun.

Stone Sheep/Bighorn Sheep - Specialty Pistol

Alaska Yukon Moose - Revolver

Welcome, Zee!

Appreciated, Sir.

Brown bear & moose with the 480 SRH.

Polar bear with my 475 linebaugh, and a lion with a Maasai spear

1. Maine moose with my .45
2. Timber elk with my original .44mag flat top (LABRAT and I have talked about doing this)
3. African plains game kudu, gemsbok, Imapala and blesbok. Those are the animals that scream Africa to me.

Would love to take the following with my 3-screw .44mag

1. Alaskan Moose
2. Black Bear (I've faced a griz with a rifle, don't have the nerve to do it with a pistol. Sorry.)
3. American Bison
4. Hog
5. Deer

Been on the site here for quite a while, and my handgun is still bloodless. Kind of a little ashamed of myself.

A Kodiak Brown Bear and/or a Polar Bear with my custom .475 Linebaugh.

Mountain nyala
Markhor

This interesting to see what everyone would do if there were no limits.


For me,

1.
A "classic" 21 day Safari in Tanzania with dangerous game, and all kinds of plains game but would especially like an old eland bull, and of course a good "dagga boy"

2.
Minnesota bull moose taken in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, via canoe. Throw a wolf on top of that and it would be even sweeter

My hat is off to you.....

I have read some stories of people hunting the Henry mountain tag, and it certainly looks like an adventure!

Taking a wild bison bull in the west would be the American dream for me. Just something about those huge wooly buggers that gets to ya.

No contest - the short faced bear:

I just have to make sure I can perfect time travel and take two revolver with me...

When my brother and I were young (preteen) Dad would take us up in the mountains at least once during elk season when we lived in Montana. After we moved back to Minnesota we always had a notion of all of us going back to Montana for an elk hunt together. Well that never did materialize because of life in general and if I could arrange any hunt anywhere for free, a Montana elk hunt with my Dad and brother would be at the top of the list. But, being my Dad will be turning 80 this month it would be a challenge indeed. Not likely to happen, tho.

An Idaho wolf with my sbh 10". And then another one. And then another one. And then another one........ and then a huge moose when the population rebuilds from the federal (and Idaho) government(s) blunder!!!!

I am not picky, I would shoot any wolf with any gun that I have. I would like a long shot with my Shiloh Sharps.

Huh????????????????? Keep in mind you are registered on a handgun hunting site.........

Whitworth, that guy spammed on another thread, if that tells you anything.

He has a ponytail he dips in his boyfriends latte at starbucks in the artsy disrict in seattle if that tells ya something. I vote if the antihunters ever win we just start hunting them

Mt goat or bighorn sheep with a revolver.

Continental regions:

A month or 2 in Africa for the Big 5 and asst. plains game.

1 mo. out west US for elk, moose, mulie.(plus some extra time to flyfish)

1 mo. Alaska for brown & polar bears, sheep, and caribou (plus some extra time to fish)

That rounds out my unattainable dreams.
