All three subspecies of bighorn we have here in NV. Moose, caribou, elk. I’ve hunted elk before but never killed one. More likely to win a hundred million bucks playing the lottery that draw all 3 bighorn tags before I die of old age though lol

I got to hunt black bear way up in Ontario way back and missed. I would like to do that trip again, one more time. And not miss lol.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Something you never hunted but would like to hunt? ...... and actually get a shot at with good chance of harvest, (I assume). Bigfoot (big male)........ or a Chupacabra.

Though I get a few it would be fantastic to get a limit of geese every day of the nine day early season.

I've hunted and shot most big game animals native to North America. I would like to get a Dahl sheep, 200'' mule deer and go down to Wyoming or Idaho for a antelope hunt. Africa is something I'd like to do and a get in on a good gopher shoot. I would say eastern Wyoming is a better bet for Pronghorn than Idaho.

Ocellated turkey
Got money down. Checking it off my list in March 2024. After that.............just a bigger whitetail, at home, with my bow than I've gotten so far. Might be disappointed, unless you already know how they hunt them.

I have a friend whose brother in law does animal culling in Kruger national park.
I have an open invitation to go there and assist.
Apparently at times its just a flurry of shooting...tons of animals need culling apparently
I would like to make it over there for that at some point. I'd go ASAP

I took mine Alasan Brown Bear with Waggler as my guide.
If I had the money again ...I'd do that hunt again before anything else

You guys make me feel really blessed. I have done all of the Alaska game minus a goat. All I want is a King Eider and a dik-dik those little bitty antelope in Africa.

Well if you get a chance to come to alberta during the trapping season I'd like to help you fulfill your bucket list. [/quote] Thanks. We have Martin here in Idaho, I just never trapped them. I only lived in this state for 4 years.

Might be disappointed, unless you already know how they hunt them. Actually, I do. But, this is going to be a calling hunt rather than a roost shooting one. Not calling like here. But they use a FoxPro or similar e-caller and dekes to call the toms. It's not a traditional turkey hunt. But Ocellated aren't traditional turkeys. I've been trying...........with basically zero luck.........to find Ocellated hen videos or recordings. I thought maybe I could build some sort of call.......... But I just am not finding much of anything.

I've been fortunate to take many of North America's big game, and a few species in Far Eastern Russia. Before I got too old and decrepit, my dream hunt was in Afganistan chasing Himalayan snowcock. I knew that was a no-go, so next on my list was the Ruby Mountains of Northern Nevada, where they have a season for Himalayan snowcock. I love Dall sheep hunting, and I love chukar hunting. Combine the two, and you got Himalayan Snowcock hunting. Nothing could be finer, in my warped opinion.

I know of several that went out with those intentions and ended up doing it the other way rather than go home empty handed. I need the Ocellated to complete my world slam, but just can’t get motivated to kill a turkey that doesn’t gobble and looks like a peacock. The only thing they have that are impressive are their spurs! They have some daggers for sure. Wish you success and can’t wait to read about the trip! And take plenty of pics!
I never really thought I'd be doing this, either. But my cousin.................who's actually only hunted turkeys 2 days in his life...........convinced me we need to do this. He was with me on the two days I completed my pair of Royal Slams. He's an adventure seeker to the max............. When he heard about Ocellateds, he said "LET'S DO IT !!!!" So, here I am. Going whith my cousin and hunting with my buddy who is the preeminent Gould's and Ocellated outfitter .

Western archery bull elk, Michigan elk cow or bull, mulie, blacktail on Kodiak, Caribou, mountain goat, Michigan Red Oak unit black bear, Alaskan moose and maybe a sheep.
Headed to Colorado with a mulie, elk and bear tag this fall so hopefully get at least one knocked off the list. Kodiak is booked for next year for blacktail and maybe a Caribou if we can luck into a few. Hopefully I can pull a Michigan elk tag before I die.
