I'd book one or the other and save the remainder for a 2d attempt. I never seem to get a sheep on round one. Just spent 20 days bighorn hunting with no luck so maybe I'd get one and use the rest for my first attempt at Stone sheep.

Don

Perhaps a new used English Double and them go ElE Hunting
Or maybe a used English Pair of 12bs and then off to the Moors for Grouse

Tanzania for buffalo, use the rest for a brown bear hunt either with Mileur on Kodiak or Phil on the Peninsula

I'd run to Uganda, Cameroon, Ehtiopia or Tanzania and tell them to stop me when I just have enough left to get back home.

Roussos are like 3 or 4 years out, I'd pick that first but Cheri would have $75,000 spent before 3 years came.

I'd pick whichever one I could get into first. If it meant 21 days in the Caprivi, Zambia or Mozambique, then that is where I would go.

I don't see me figuring out how to do one of those without a gimme like this, anyone got any tips on making $180,000 plus a year?

I'd go to Zambia for a month, 15 days in the Kafue and 15 days in the Luangwa.

It would be blast.

A dall hunt in the NW Territories and then the best Colorado landowner 4th season deer tags I could find for the next 5 years.

Foot safari for Buffalo in nortthern Uganda then onto Namibia for non trophy big bodied Ele.
If any cash left, move on down into the Zambezi to track up a Lioness.
All with a bouble rifle.

I would but three Heym Martini rifles in 375 h&h , 416 Rigby ,and 450 Rigby and then use each one of them to hunt caribou in my backyard.
No trophy fee,no dip&pack fee ,no tip,no other fees , get to enjoy eating fresh caribou meat and still have three beautiful rifle to use and enjoy
joe

Champlin has a Rigby rising bite 470 NE that $75k would just about cover!

I'd buy my daughter a quality Yukon moose hunt. Then I'd take both of them to somewhere in Southern Africa for their choice of a plains game or a buffalo each.

I'd then have to start working overtime at a furious rate to support their future hunting trips.

I've actually been thinking about this for a while as I'm selling our duck club and am going to have some discretionary cash. I'm going to take my son to Tanzania to hunt with Alan Vincent and his parents in the Selous. I first hunted with Roy when Alan was about 10 and my son wasn't yet born. He's grown up knowing them, but never had a chance to hunt together. It'll be as much about old friends as anything else.

I'd have to think about the specifics, but a group trip for two uncles, a cousin, and myself (the only hunters in the family, unfortunately). Probably moose in AK or elk in a proper tented camp somewhere out west. That should leave me enough left over to start planning the next trip.

As quite a few others have said, Ethiopia for as much as the dollars would go.

Re-clad the walls of my house then a plains game hunt in Namiba

I'd try to get a hunt on six continents.

Tips on $180,000/ year? It’s easy. 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and 4-6 years(or more) of speciality training. No problem after that.....

Maybe I'd give it to DSCF or anti poaching groups.

Interesting ideas!

My hips are too bad for ellie hunting (not to mention the 60 lb'ers I already have).

Perhaps a brown bear hunt from a boat???

BH63

.

I think I would do a whole season of wing shooting in the UK - starting on 12 August with driven grouse in Scotland and then partridge in the South and then high pheasant in Yorkshire and finishing up with flighting and walked up woodcock in Scotland in December. Shooting quality birds on the weekends with a group of good friends and excellent catering and wines!

Now that would be money well spent!

Nice taste!

East Africa hunt. Buff hunt and PG in Tanzania, then addon for Nile buff and PG in Uganda afterwards. Since I`m not interested in cats, I guess I could do this for 75 k.

If your hips are bad, a brown bear hunt (even from a boat) may be too much of a challenge. You might get lucky and get a bear on the beach, but if not the walking can be pretty tough.

Perhaps you should consider a Regenexx procedure. Look it up (www.regenexx.com), they use stem cell therapy to re-grow cartilege in joints. I'm considering having it done in my knee as it's largely bone on bone. It costs about what a mule deer or elk hunt does, but if I could get back to where my knees were 6-7 years ago, then I'll be able to confidently hunt Wyoming bighorns when I draw in a few years (sitting on 20 preference points).

Caprivi, Namibia for Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, and assorted other game.

I would have Westley Richards make me a .577 double and hunt trophy elephant...or go hunting polar bear with the inuits...decisions..

I guess its good not all hunters had an xtra $75k....No game left....:lol

I would pay off my last couple hunts...

And then start charging more!!!

Leopard Hunt: 35,000
-Sango/Zimbabwe with Thierry Labat

2 Non-exportable elephant: 25,000
-Caprivi/Namibia with Karl Stumpfe

Driven Red Grouse: 15,000
-Scotland with Kiri (Fallow Buck on AR)

For me, this would be a dream set-up!

If I Had An Extra $75K??

I'd wonder what went wrong -- why did I not give and spend it already.

Okay, I'll play. Ethiopia, mountain nyala, finally.
