Looking for Inspiration...
In a year, I'll turn 50. I think this is the first time a birthday "gets to me", butu I want to treat myself to a nice and memorable hunting trip. Looking for inspiration, likely, my "parameters" will evolve, but so far, I have....
- I'll be going alone (unless it turns out to be family friendly, but don't want to limit myself by that right now)
- Exact species is secondary to "the experience"
- I am reasonably fit and not afraid of hiking/climbing mountains
- Absolutely willing to go south of the border
- While I am ok for it to be somewhat expensive, I don't want to spend 10s of thousands on it, either
The "alone" bit appears to be somewhat limiting. Would love to do a caribou hunt up north, but without a friend that seems dangerous(?).
Oh, and lets just assume, for the sake of argument, that Covid is over by the time I go
Thanks for any inspiration

Hog hunting with AKs out of a helicopter. Also work in night hog hunt.
Just about hits on everything that we can't, or need, to do up here.
Time it right and incorporate a nice w/t hunt.

I can tell you about the best time and a good Fly In Lake to hunt Caribou in the Cassiars. PM me and we go from there !
Cheers
Re: Looking for Inspiration...
I wonder if an outfitter would work. You'd be hunting alone but you wouldn't be alone.
A horseback moose/sheep/caribou trip would be pretty memorable.

Inspiration? I did a caribou hunt at 76 and am now 80 and still hunting
