Just in case your Messerschmit crashes in front of a heard of crazed pachyderms.
If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.

Really?? LolIf it can happen to me, it can happen to you.
I'd probably just take a .30-06 and a plethora of ammo. Why? Because there are lots of critters that I wouldn't want to shoot or eat...whether too tough, too little, or too endangered. The rest could be good to eat, or good to be rid of.
No country in Africa would let you hunt with a Garand, because it is a semi-auto and it holds too many rounds. And a caliber that light is proscribed for hunting heavy game, in most countries.
I once saw an article on a Garand that had been converted to 458 Winchester I'm pretty sure THAT Garand could handle a charging buffalo!
My (improved) .270 Winchester rifle isn't a slouch...killing a bull moose at nearly 300 yards with one shot through the lungs, using handloads that I assembled for the task.
"He improved his hunting skills by the dissection and study of the skulls of elephants he shot. He perfected a technique of shooting elephants from the extremely difficult position, diagonally behind the target; this became known as the 'Bell Shot'

We all know the 22short will take down the biggest of bears, so why anything else lol.
This!
Exactly this !
My concept of “world” that I would care to visit doesn’t extend past the lower 48.
(sorry Alaska, I don’t do big white bears that hunt back !)
That's kind of sad. You don't have anywhere you would want to travel too? Let’s say you win a prize of 3 months to travel anywhere on earth you want to hunt, as many destinations as you like, all expenses paid. Don't even have to shoot anything if you don't want, you can just wander around and nature watch. You really wouldn't want to leave the lower 48?
Truthfully, no…
First; I’m 65, and there are a lot more leaves on the ground than there are on the tree (so to speak), and there’s just way too much stuff here that I haven’t seen yet, but would like to.
Secondly; Americans simply are not that well-liked in most other countries. And if you add in cultural and linguistic differences, it becomes a hassle if not downright dangerous !
But, just for the sake of “what if”, my first choice would be Ireland, if I added one more, Iceland.
