Every man dies, but not every man really lives!!

Hmmm, I don't suppose it is considered proper form to consider people as trophys?

Top 5 Animal trophies that I would shoot.

1) Marcopolo sheep
2) 7x7 elk
3) upper end B&C whitetail
4) Cape Buffalo
5) limit of mallard drakes

The top 5 I would shoot would be the Rocky mntn Bighorn Ram, A Rocky mntn Bull Elk, A Cape Buffalo, A Greater Kudu, and the Mongolian Ibex. We have a herd of M-Ibex in one of our local zoo's and in it there are some rams that are truly awsome.

I dont name any cats or Bears as I dont have an overwhelming desire to hunt them. Im glad some guy's do, it at least gives them some chance for survival. Without leagal, Licensed sport hunters involved in their future's these predator's have a bleak outlook indeed.

Without the involvement of hunters in ALL the futures of these animals ive named, and many more, and the kids, of our kids, will be lucky to even see them in a zoo. I know I have left out many outstanding animals but all this is personal "for me" and includes the potential of the particular animal delivering a "memorable stalk" as well as the same animal provideing a 1st class trophy too....good shooting.........10

RAO,

My choices are limited to what I can hunt today:

1 - Polar bear

2 - Bongo

3 - Lord Derby Eland

4 - Sable

5 - Gaur

Good Hunting !

RAO,

I will be glad if you ask for about 20 trophies! Now choosing five is a bit difficult..lets try.

1-Indian Tiger
2-Indian Barasingha
3-African Elephant
4-Marco Polo Sheep
5-Kashmir Markhor

I selected one from each species i.e., cats, elephants, deers, sheep & goat. The one left is antelope and my choice would be a Greater Kudu. Due to restriction of 5, bears and bovines are excluded. But if relaxation given my choice would be Kodiak Brown Bear and African Cape Buffalo. And the last one a Black Rhino.

Sorry Folks but after all these Years I still dont have enough of running up and down those hills. Happy hunting and safe Trails, Carl.

I'll play, too:

Cape buffalo
Stone sheep
Really big Rocky Mountain elk
Sable
Monster pronghorn

RAO,
Since we always want what we don't/can't have:

Bengal Tiger
Bongo
Nile Lechwe
Rocky Mt. Goat (I've always wanted one)
Mountain Grizzly

Three of the five are possible today. Hopefully, one day the other 2 might be.
Maybe peace in Sudan or Gambella reopening would produce the Lechwe. Problem tiger are shot in Indonesia every year. I'm sure the same goes for some of the other host countries. Why no turn them into cash..make then worth something to the common natives rather than just the undertaker.

I'm a whitetail addict, so I agree with reloader66 (and perry is a man after my own heart, but add the neighbors' cats that hang out around my feeders), but here's my list:
1. BIG whitetail deer
2. Marco Polo
3. Kudu
4. Dall Sheep
5. Elk.

Now, of course, I'd have to build a new house to house all these trophies too, so I'd need to win the lottery.

1) Marco Polo Ram

2) Big Alaskan Yukon Moose

3) Cape Buffalo

4) B&C Mexico Mule Deer

5) B&C Elk on Colorado Public Lands

1) African Lion- stalked not baited
2) Forest Bull Elephant
3) Grizzly or Brown Bear
4) Elk
5)Muskox

Bull Elk
Cape Buffalo
Elephant
Lion
A Maneater ala Jim Corbett

I find it interesting the sable is listed several times but the Altai or Asian ibex is not. Having shot the Altai ibex and sable, IMO there is no comparision - the ibex is longer of horn than the sable, and much more massive. The sable may have a more impressive cape and doesn't smell like goat for the first year or two, but if you like a good cape, then a tahr or plain old gemsbok can't be beat.

my top 5 include;
1) cape buffalo
2) guar
3) lion
4) tiger
5) alaskan brown bear

Grizzly Bear
Alaskan Yukon Moose
Elk
Cape Buffalo
Kudu

1. Kodiak Brown bear

2. TMA dall ram

3. Marco Polo Sheep

4. Sable

5. Monster Mule Deer

1-- Big Brown Bear. 2-- Alaska Yukon Moose. 3-- Bull Elk. 4-- Elephant. 5--Cape Buffalo. I have them all except the Elephant, planning for that, unless a Polar Bear becomes a reality sooner.

1.) Kashmir Markhor
2.) Altai Argali
3.) Marco Polo Sheep
4.) Fannin Sheep
5.) Cape Lion (stalked)

And many more!

Guess I have to opt for five more to get me closer to my North American 27 or whatever. -TONY

1. Brown (grizzly) bear
2. Polar Bear
3. Quebec/Lab. caribou (got the other subspecies)
4. Sitka blacktail (last deer needed)
5. Any NA sheep (need them all!)
