Himalayan Tahr or red Stag in New Zealand, followed closely by water buff in Australia. At the prices comes pretty close to "dream" hunt  :D

I do a lot of dreaming, so there are many.  Moose, caribou, spot & stalk bears, etc., etc.
But if you gave me one last trip in this lifetime and made me choose, it would be elk in Arizona or some other top quality unit.

Im going on mine this fall. I found a hunt where two guys paid 1,000 apiece for the 2,000 dollar hunt. the outfitter is letting me and my buddy use there down payment and is only charging us 800.00 for a fully guided hunt in Ohio. Im so excited i cant hardly stand it, i just took up traditional archery so i have yet to harvest any animals. I am also going to Texas with several other Trad Gang members. To kill a giant whitetail with a stick and string would be my dream hunt.

Basiclly; my next one.

But if I hit some big money I would like to spend a month or two in Siberia hunting Snow Sheep and Kamchatka Bighorn.  Maybe throw in a Maral Stag, Moose, and a big ol'Brown Bear if I got in the right situation.  

Come on lotto!

Horseback elk hunt in the mountains.  I have other hunts I would like to do but as long as I am able to get myself in and out of elk camp that is my number one hunting priority.

THE ONE dream hunt (and possibly my last one?) - Kodiak Brown Bear on an Alaskan beach/shore with a longbow - with NO smokepole for backup....

I am going to wait a few more years until I am a little older and little tougher for the bear to chew....

Wow, a dream hunt!!  I would like to go to a place where I was seeing lots of whatever I'm hunting (deer, turkey, moose, elk, caribou, pigs), and I'm seeing enough really impressive animals, that I am waiting to see if the next one is bigger than the last one.  Just being there is my dream hunt!!!!

Elk in the Black Hills of South Dakota, my grandparents took me there every year when I was a kid, and I have loved that area ever since. But being that I am not from SD it will not happen, unless I can get my wife to move back to the cold. Trying to find a place to hunt hogs here in Texas.
