If you found yourself with an unexpected windfall of $75K, where would you hunt, with who, and for what? BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | ||

Exportable trophy elephant. today that would have to be in RSA or Namibia. Not sure with who, would have to research. NRA benefactor life member SCI life member DSC life member | |||

Probably should have said importable elephant. If I had enough left, importable lion, but that looks like only RSA at the moment. NRA benefactor life member SCI life member DSC life member | |||

If it's limited to Africa, I'd like lion, leopard, buffalo, and sable. Otherwise, I'd be awful tempted to head to Asia for some sheep and ibex before I'm too old and fat to climb those mountains. _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

I would hunt with Pierre Vontonder in Tanzania for as many cape buffalo as I could afford or however many he didn't already have booked. If any money left I would take a lot of plains game and Tip Pierre and the staff the rest! >..................Just let me win the lotto and we will see what and where I'd hunt, and for how long! .......................................................................Day dreaming!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Alaska for brown bear and some on salmon fishing. I would gorge myself on King crab rent a Harley and go down south to flit away the rest. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

Funny you say this. I hunted on Kodiak in 1998 (?) for Brown Bear. I hunted with Tom Kirstein in Deadman's Bay. There was a huge storm and some crabbers came into the bay for cover. Tom took the boat out and bartered for some King Crab. I gotta say, it spoilt me for restaurant crab. It was one of the finest meals I've ever had. Formerly "Nganga" | |||

Anywhere for sable leopard roan and of course as many buffalo as possible. Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

Either Africa for lion and buffalo or the arctic for polar bear and walrus on dogsled | |||

75K wouldn't get it done, but I'd want to go to Zambia and shoot the place flat. Leopard, buff, roan, sable... | |||

I’d spend whatever was needed to get Andrew drunk enough to let me hunt one of his lions with the change. Probably just sit in his skinning shed with a crate of scotch until the brute turned up. | |||

Go to Ethiopia for Mountain Nyala with Jason Russos. There are 40 species to hunt there and an extremely unique culture. Or Pakistan and hunt urials and ibex. | |||

Well since some answers have took it outside Africa somewhat, with that much money I would arrange a moose/bear and wolf hunt with Chilcotin Hillbilly, then do a couple of speed goat hunts, go after a Mountain Lion somewhere, maybe finally go after a Nilgai and black buck here in Texas and if any was left, go Deep Sea fishing off San Diego. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

If we are talking Africa I have about three things I'd really like to do but with a $75,000 budget I be very tempted to blow it on another lion Zambian lion. In NA you could do quite a few hunts for $75,000 if you spent it carefully. Mark MARK H.

Gobi argali in Mongolia... or a down payment on an Altai argali with Shikar Safaris! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Hunt the Nyae Nyae in Namibia with SMJ for the biggest elephant I have ever seen. I would have to add a few more $ though. However, for $10, you get a chance for a non-trophy bull hunt and help them raise money for Stephan's son school.

I would spend it all in North and South America as well as Europe. Moose, elk, red stag, driven boar. Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I would either go to the Nyae Nyae and hunt tuskers with Kai-Uwe Denker or I would go to Zambia and hunt lion in the Kafue with Richard Bell-Cross and take my buddy Nigel Theisen with me on either hunt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Zambia for sitatunga with Muchinga, then the balance with Buzz for buff and tuskless ele. Might have to add a bit of the IRA to get it done, though. | |||
