You have time for one final hunt...

You have time, tag, and resources for one final hunt. What species? What geographical location? What gun?

For me, I believe it would be a monster muley in Colorado, with a .460 SW revolver.

How about it?

Mountain Goat.....any one of my single shots

Or

Sambar

Or

Karaganda Argali

Bull elephant, Africa, .500 JRH loaded with Buffalo Bore DG ammo...

Prairie Dogs
With bench style AR 15's
From an air conditioned camper.

Hell I may do that even if I am not about to croak.

Always wanted to hunt Texas hogs, would use my new GP100 .44 Special.

It will not ever happen but I would love to hunt Mule deer and or Antelope with my specialty pistol.

Good one.... Polar bear way up north with 454... If that can`t happen then Siberian tiger w/454 and if that can`t happen, jaguar in the Matto Grasso with 44...

Tiger would be high on my list if it was legal....

Another bucket list hunt would be gaur, probably in India.

Most likely with my BFR in .460 S&W loaded with A-frames at max velocity.

Mountain nyala and/or markhor. Since both are normally taken at long range -- H-S Precision in 270 WSM.

Kodiak Bear with my Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh.

The species chased doesn?t matter, as long as my friends could enjoy the hunt with me.

COASTAL BROWN BEAR HUNT IN ALASKA OFF OF A FANCY BOAT, USING A 10 INCH OR 12 INCH FREEDOM ARMS 454, LOADED WITH A 325gr BARNES BUSTER, OR A 320gr PUNCH OR A 300gr LEHIGH WFN MONOLITHIC OR A 300gr OR 325gr SWIFT AFRAME. BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS HUNT, BUT FOR FAR LESS EXPENSIVE BLACK BEAR.

Great answer!

I'm really digging the range of answers here...from prairie dogs to Karaganda Argali (had to look that one up, Dave), to anything as long as it's with friends.

Very cool to see what trips everyone's trigger...

Randy, I'd be all over Australia, top to bottom, if it was handgun friendly.

For me it would have to be a bear. I'd like a black bear, but an Alaskan brown would be better. With either one I'd be carrying a newly acquired BFR 454 Casull.

Big Alaskan grizzly with an open sight revolver, with my 460 S&W or Encore in case I need more range or power.

Toss up between Brown bear on the Alaskan Peninsula with my SRH 44 or 375 RCM rifle. Other being a leopard hunt in African with my Ruger No1 in 45/70.

Horseback Combination hunt for Alaska Yukon Moose / Mountain Caribou / Dall Sheep.

Ruger SBH Bisley in .454 / MOA Maximum in .338-06 A-Square.

Prairie dogs with friends. Lots and LOTS of prairie dogs

You and me both!

Let me die sitting on a rock wall with the fall leaves all around. A corn cob pipe in my hand, a single shot 16ga. in my lap, and a Cocker or Springer spaniel at my side. If ya find me ya can have the gun, take my dog and give her a good home, just leave me and my pipe be.

Randy do we have to die after playing this game?
If so being able to call in 20 coyotes all at once and shooting everyone of them with my pistols. (New York Reloads only)

Or how about more realistic a huge Lion in Africa with my FA 454?

Charles

moose in Alaska with my pet 45 blackhawk.

Any hunt with my son. Preferably elk.

Alaska for a free for all!

Take my son and grandsons on a full scale African Safari. I would use my 460XVR and go for Buffalo, Sable, Eland, and Kudu (at least). The boys could take whatever they want. I would probably try for a few Warthogs too as I loved ?the hunt? for them. If I am going out I want to go big.

This was almost my answer. I've been to Alaska and killed two caribou. By far the best 10 days of hunting I've ever experienced.

You need a hunting partner - I?m in!

Hunting rock chucks in ID and/or WY with 243 and 6.5 CM Scout SSPs!

David I would expect these choices from you! Hell you might need a long range rifle for support on the Karaganda Argali there are some unfriendlies in that area!

My hunt is much simpler probably Elk with my SBH .44 mag.
But it is hard to beat a Michigan fall afternoon, with the sun starting to set. The colors on the trees. My 20 ga shotgun, dogs running chasing pheasant. And of course my son Rocco.

What can I say Rocky...Hahahaha......that's why Australia would be so appealing....friendly folks all around

Blackbear in Idaho or Colorado. Riding horses, camping in wall tent, with a few good friends. Would use my Ruger Blackhawk Hunter with MagaPort Stalker Conversion. I would take one of my home made primitive Osage Longbows and stone point arrows for back up. Might as well go out doing what I like if things go bad. HAH

That question is similar to one I have "when I retire I'm going to hunt......". My current answer is Red Stag in New Zealand with my freedom arms 454 7.5". More realistic I'd be elk in Colorado.

No question.... a horseback hunt in the Alaskan Yukon for moose. I'd use my FA 475 JRH.

Dan

hand guns not aloud in NZ

one more elephant with custom 475 linebaugh.

Horseback dry ground Mountain Lion in the desert Southwest with hounds. Staying in a wall tent, with my son and using my Ruger .44 special to dispatch the lion.

I've gone on three hunts like this and still have not connected with a lion. I would hope this fourth time is the charm

My bucket list critter is leopard.
For some reason big cats are appealing and the leopard is a tough customer.
I'd try with my Toklat shooting heavy 45 Colt loads...or whatever my PH said I should be shooting:)

My backup bucket list critter is interior grizzly on a backpack hunt with Lance Kronberger.

RANDY B: AS A VETERAN AFRICAN HANDGUN HUNTER, I WOULD NOT RELY ON A PH's RECOMMENDATION FOR REVOLVER BULLETS. HAVING TAKEN 3 LEOPARDS WITH A REVOLVER I WOULD SAY YOU SHUD USE A GOOD WFN STYLE BULLET (LEHIGH 300, PUNCH 320, AND, AT 1,300FPS OR LESS, A GOOD CAST BULLET), OR A 265gr SWIFT AFRAME, AND, IF YOU CAN PUSH IT FAST ENUFF, THE 250gr BRANES MONOLITHIC HP.

I would load 250 grain Barnes XPBs at maximum Casull velocities. They are devastating on cats and should work like a charm!

Speaking of leopard -- when wounded, they have the potential to be very dangerous for the everyone involved. A leopard is a thin-skinned, small boned animal. Yes, you've probably heard of 200 pound leopards taken in the past. Statistically, far more male leopards are taken 150 pounds or less. Shot placement is top priority.
