If you had to go on one last hunt what would it be and why? I think mine would be a moose i have wanted to shoot one ever since i was 10 and now being 18 i know that it will be a long time befor i will but if i had to choose one that would be it.
 
I understand what you are asking, but I don't even want to think about it...

If its my last hunt, I don't want to know. :D

im thinking a true blue hard core elk hunt

like tracking one by my self in the mountians enjoying the view and if its my last hunt im gonna keep moving until i see an absolute monster
 
Wha Hae Art!

Campfire is requisite, as is a good supply of single malt scotch (glenmorangie, etc.), good company, and perfect weather (a little chilly, but dry).

Where? Either Africa or the Rockies. Way far away from people.

I'd be bowhunting something dangerous with a bow I made myself and arrows I crafted.

Talk about dieing happy.

Great topic!
 
Heck, I want to know the exact day, time and location of my end. That way, I can plan to depart this world in my hunting outfit, boots and a shotgun in my hands. Then, at the end of the day, and a full day's limit, I'd be all set to seek the answers to my "Shootist's Prayer": :)
 
I don't harbor suicidal tendencies, but would love to take on a Grizzly eyeball-to-eyeball with nothing more than a handgun. Perhaps to answer the question if I'd pee my pants and run or fight to the finish. If I survived and killed the bear....no other hunt would ever measure up to the thrill and excitement.
 
I haven't read much about him, but I understand Ben Lilly used to use a double edge knife of his own make, to kill bears or mountain lions. When his dogs had them cornered he'd reach around and stab the critter keeping himself away, because the bear or lion would strike or bite at the wound. He spent his last decades in the Gila Mnt country around here. Died in the 1920's I think. But that's a different topic.
 
While I agree with Art & Tom, were I to know & had to choose, I reckon I'd take my old .22, the one Dad bought me so many years ago, and go shoot gophers back home in Montana. There may have been more exciting hunts, more challenging hunts, more regal and wary quarry, but when it comes right down to it, where it all started is where I'd opt to see it end . . . those were special, carefree days.
 
koja48 i agree me and my dad went to wyoming last year and shot prarie dogs allday for 2 days it was amazing not a care in the world stopd and ate when we wanted to then set back off and went to town

Interesting. Which hand gun would you take ?
 
well, i am with you, it would be moose as well. i have had the oppertunity (quite greatful i might add) to see real live wild moose (mother and offspring) in the wild (Cananda). but i would want to go to Alaska and hunt a BIG BULL! it will probably never happen, i am disabled, and don't have a bunch of money, so we all know where that leads. staying home. i put in for an elk permit this year. i doubt i will get one, but i put in for it. i dont know how much longer i have for hunting, i am hopeing at least 3 or 4 years. it just depends on how fast things get worse.
