Probably a Kodiak bear.

Brown Bear in Alaska was mine. Liked it so much I went 2 times.

Next up.. Africa or Argentina. Thinking Africa comes up a hair more often these days when I flip a coin.

Although my hips would never take being on a horse, if we are going to dream..... A high country horse pack in hunt in some remote corner of Wy, Col, NM, or Mt, for giant mule deer would be a dream come true. 2 wks of being a saddle tramp, would be awesome.

This is a hard question for sure. At this point I would have to toss a coin between the following hunts with my son...

A) Alaska: Moose, Grizz and Caribou

B) Africa: Cape Buffalo, Eland, Kudu and Gemsbok

And on the way home we'd have to stop at the nearest spot where we could do some fishing.

Oh to dream

For quite some time my dream hunt was to hunt WT in Saskatchewan (I grew up out east hunting small WT). I moved to Saskatchewan for work a few years ago and have been living that dream ever since. Since I've moved to the prairies, I've had a new dream hunt; OTC/Public land Pronghorn Antelope. I would literally dream about such a hunt and it obsessed me. Last year, I accomplished that dream and I am going back this year again. My new "dream hunt" is Coues Deer and I will start planning a trip to Arizona in the years to come. I am very lucky to have a wife who supports this expensive hobby and pushes me to work towards the hunts that keep me up at night.

My hunt of a lifetime though is definitely Bighorn Sheep, unless I win the lotto or move to AB it most likely will never happen...

Default dream hunts

Hoping to get back to Africa 2020 to finish up a list of game there that eluded me last year.
I've done Alaska for Brown bear, but never had a shot opportunity, and I still find it hard to justify the cost after having hunted Africa. It will probably remain on my bucket list for some time.
other than these, my one dream item is to harvest a wolf. I have never had the opportunity, although I have seen them at long range, and heard them at night time on multiple occasions.

An ethical musk ox hunt with a bow. Cape buffalo with a bow, spot and stock on a wild herd not a “put and take” situation.
