What takes the cake guys?

(Must be a game animal)

Well it would have to be Kelly Brook.

High maintenance but oh so worth it.

Up to six months in prison plus a substantial fine for shooting a Badger?

Ah alright then.

Loss of license, plus minimum of 5 years inside, good chance of being shot, excellent chance of appearing on "police, camera, action" and more adrenaline than you could possibly want.

Big red stag, Richmond park, late afternoon during school holidays.

You should come here and shoot them for free

But jokes aside: brown bear, lynx or wolf maybe? Or a huge red stag?

I think it's wisent, followed by the diffrent Ibex and red stag.

sika in wicklow is one of the cheapest trips you can do in europe.
also one of the best hunts ,very exciting in the rut.

you can shoot two trophys and a cull for a just over 2k euro.

i have trophys on my walls but there not my best hunts.

If I write to the police and request the condition, will you be my mentor?

Ps. Forget that Boghossian chap, I'm the man for the mission!!!

Shoot a wolf in Sweden and sell the hide,

six years hard time, banned from ever again having a rifle, pretty much and about a

13 000 quid fine to the state.

Talk is cheap.

on a trip to SA i shot a rowland ward Phaarly buck
good specimen
the PH was young and inexperienced desperate for me to shoot a moutain reed buck when this stood out in the rocks
the early evening sun was blinding
the PH said good reed buck, so shoot it
as i looked down the scope i knew what it was , but what the heck he said shoot it
so i did
when we got there he was almost in tears as he realised his mistakle
but i had a trophy of life time
can't put a price on it but it would cost a few grand now
or a Pierre David off the road at Woburn
think of the publicity

What is a Phaarly Buck?

Unless I'm missing something?

its women

Farley's Rusk??

Sorry FB
I mean a Vaal
but the locals all called it Phaarly buck
or at least i thought they did to much home brew at the time
since then Phaarly has stuck

A gold medal ibex scoring high on a national game reserve like gredos would knock you 25-30000$.

the notorious "bulgarian stag" shoot from Baron von Gemmingen-Hornberg in 2005 was paid 60000 euro, if i remember correctly.
whit price based on size i think a big stag or ibex( from Spain or Alps) can be really expensive...

Some days of driven grouse or red partridges in the best areas beat ibex and wisent. But if we talk about the biggest waste of money for a single shot and trophy lorefuma is IMO right about Gemmingens pet world record red deer.

Sure Alpine Ibex:


the king of the Mountain

Wow that photo is impressive! Makes the heart fairly race!

Agreed, That bit or rock in the foreground makes it feel like you are actually stalking them!!

There's a good bit of backstop too by the looks of it!!

Alpensteinbock.

Will set you back xx.xxx, if you get a CHANCE!

my ibex in swizz, was not much expensive 13,000 usd all inclusive, fron mexico and return,

a short history


OCTOBER 21, 2005 I RETURNED FROM A HUNTING TRIP IN SWITZERLAND WHERE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET AN ALPINE IBEX. I WAS GUIDED BY MR. PHILIPPE DUBOIS (GAME-KEEPER OF CANTON DU VALAIS).

THE HUNTS ARE SHEDULED WITH MAXIMUN DURATION OF 3 DAYS. (I WAS FROM 17TH TO 19TH OF OCTOBER) WHEN WE WERE CLOSE TO THE TOP OF “BEL-BIRD” ROCK, ABOVE THE EMOSSON LAKE WE MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH A GROUP OF 10 IBEX, WHERE WE FOUND 2 GORGEOUS IBEXS.

ONE SHOT FROM MY BLASER R93 CAL. 300 WBY. MAG. AT 190 METERS WAS ENOUGH TO GET MY 12 YEARS OLD TROPHY, A BEATIFUL MATURE MALE, WITH 92 CMS LENGH HORNS, 73 CMS TIP-TO-TIP APERTURE AND 25 CMS. BASES.

THE LICENSE FOR THE ALPINE CHAMOIS WAS NOT GRANTED TO ME, SO, IT´S AN EXCELENT OPORTUNITY TO GO BACK.

TALKING ABOUT MR. PHILIPPE DUBOIS, I ONLY HAVE TO SAY GOOD THINGS, HE IS AN EXCELLENT GUIDE AND A GENTLEMAN; HE HAS A GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF THIS LAND AND IT´S FAUNA.

SWITZERLAND MAINTAINS A GREAT POPULATION OF ALPINE IBEX AND ALPINE CHAMOIS, WITH THE HIGH STANDARDS OF FAUNA CONTROL THE POPULATION OF ALPINE IBEX AND ALPINE CHAMOIS WILL BE ALWAYS STABLE.

THE ALPINE IBEX IS A GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIE WITH UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS AND JOINED TO THE LAND WHERE IT INHABITS MAKES THIS HUNT BUT AWSOME.

BEST REGARDS
