Dream Hunts

[Faw]

Just wondering what everybody's dream hunt is? Something you haven't done yet, or if you have conquered it, what was it?
My buddy wants to get a Sitka Blacktail on the Queen Charlotte's, and mine I think involves a big moose up North.

[warnniklz]

Helping my dad get his first goat would be #1
Limiting out on ducks with my dad and his dad #2
Getting drawn for a G-Bear in the Cariboo #3

[untilthelastbeat]

New Zealand red stag would be amazing but I doubt that will ever happen for me. My realistic dream hunts would be rocky mtn big horn, stone sheep which I am trying for the first time this year and dall sheep in the yukon.

[BiG Boar]

Cape buffalo in African #1 (but probably 10 years away)
Rocky mnt Bighorn hunt this year
If I draw a Desert sheep permit this year, that would be even better
Wolverine would be wicked
Muskox seems interesting
I could go on and on. and on.

[moosinaround]

A rosy elk hunt on the Island-#1 I dont have enough money or luck for that one!

A big Yukon/ Alaska moose- #2 Could and will make this one happen

A Saskatchewan Whitetail- #3 Could happen, but will settle for a northern BC Whitetail hunt!

I could go on, but these are just a few!

Moosin

[BgBlkDg]

BIG Elk, in the Kootenays, will try again this year.....I KNOW where they are, but, old age and severe injuries, still try tho'.

Blue and Ruffed Grouse hunting in the Kootenays like we had when I started 51 years ago, with a FINE SXS, maybe a Bertuzzi, Westley DL, Kreighoff Essencia SL, or a Filli. Rizzini SL 20 bore-28" choked .005 and .020" over .629" bores with a Churchill rib and SH-SP.-DTs.

Maybe sheep, but, I never really caught that bug.

[Faw]

I really want to get a mountain goat but I think I'm too scared of heights for it to happen lol.

[BgBlkDg]

I might be able to help you with that, but, some climbing and lots of spotting will be unavoidable.

[bc_buckshot]

Elk and Big Horn in Montana.
Cape Buffalo in Africa

[257stew]

Cape buff is and always will be #1 on my list.
Locally I would love to get 2-3 more goats before I am to old to climb.
One more big moose in the 50's.
1 of each whitetail/mule deer.
1 more nice grizzly.

[Sylus]

Mountain Goat would be #1
Big velvet muley in the alpine #2
Blacktail on the coastal islands hunting from a kayak #3

[Ohwildwon]

Mountain Goat, in region 2-11 or 3-33.

Couger, @ Buffalo Bills :-)

[Whiterock]

Ive been very lucky to have hunted all over BC,3 trips to Africa,,and down to Montana. But Im getting older and would be happy to stay in BC, and hunt without being told I cant hunt crown land because someones ancestor hunted there,,or the Gov has sold the "guiding rights" to a forien investor,and I have to watch my camp,,or ride my quad without big brother telling me to have insurance and a helmet,,Guess Im jaded,,but I figure at my age Im allowed to be.Sorry to be negative,,but I remember what its like to be free.

[mikeboehm]

My number 1 dream hunt was a saskatchewan whitetail hunt, but i did it a couple of years ago.

So #1 now is a rosie elk
#2 african hunt

[goatdancer]

A deer this year.

[Faw]

^this guy +1. Me too man. Give me a little forky to take home to the family.

[ruger#1]

Mine would be a 6X6 elk. All that i see are 5X5, In 6 point only season. Next would be Jackalope.

[Moe.JKU]

Cape buffalo or a capra ibex

[604redneck]

Mine would be a 6X6 elk. All that i see are 5X5, In 6 point only season. Next would be Jackalope.

I just take the 6x5 lol

[ruger#1]

[two-feet]

Pig hunt with a knife or spear finish would be pretty fun.

Grizzly, Cape buff, Kudu.

Have always dreamed of a fly-in moose hunt up north, my trip is booked for the fall!

[ruger#1]

Thanks for the offer. Some other time, I have a break job to do on the truck. Metal to metal hurts my ears, And pocket book. Good luck at the range. I have my own range to shoot at. Not as much pressure and more layed back. We will get together some time.

[mddat]

#1 would be stone sheep hunt here, hopefully I'll get this done sooner than later.
#2 would definitely be a Yukon moose hunt

[BromBones]

Spring Alaskan brown bear hunt would be the ultimate for me.

And a trip to Africa for Cape buffalo and a lion.

[boxhitch]

BC coastal griz while they are available.
I'd even go on that hunt as a helper , just to get it off the bucket list.

[604ksmith]

River float hunt in Northern BC for Moose, Bear, and Caribou.

Although any backcountry hunt in BC is good enough for me to dream about.

[Moose63]

1) Bull Elk, preferably 6x6

That's it for now....

[Ovis17]

#1. Marco Polo ram
#2. BC Dall's sheep or Bighorn

Bull elk 6x6 or bigger with my bow
Sheep

[tuner]

Northern BC stone sheep.

[rides bike to work]

I live out my dream hunts every year. I dream about it all year then come sept I live them out. Doesn't get any better then do it your self anything in beautiful Bc. Ill say Rosie as I will probably never get drawn.

[BiG Boar]

A big old Cougar, been trying hard, and just can't seen to catch up ever. Probably just unlucky.
Every hunt I go on is a dream hunt really. I dream about it. It's something I want to acomplish. I make a plan, and gather as much information I can to make it happen. Then I go do it. I love adventure. I rarely hunt the same spots if I can help it. There is just always something else over the next hill.

[Ohwildwon]

Wouldn't mind bagging one of these for the Barbi!

[HarryToolips]

Way to go Jweber....

For me:
-a hunt for a big bull moose in a pristine area, mostly hunting via canoe/bushwhacking and calling one in..
-alpine hunt for big bull elk/ big muley buck
-to shoot a nice tasting WT buck with my bow
-mountain goat hunt

[Salix]

I dream about hunting most days that I am not hunting. Dream hunt is Stone sheep followed by mnt goat. One will happen this year if plans work out.

[MOWITCH SLAYER]

tagged elk ,moose , mulies , white tails , bear , cougar , some real wall hangers , but if i ever get the chance it would be Mountain Caribou hands down !

[klondikemike]

Those are some incredible pics of your hunts Jweber. I have to ask how your daughter reacted to the sound when you shot though.

Taking my 12 yr old daughter on her first backpacking hunt for deer.

Dave , just a bit of help for you.try the sasquatch inn. I seen a few there a couple weeks ago.

[Jagermeister]

I have to ask, what is your earliest memory? At what age was that memory?
I ask because that 6 month old child is not going to remember a thing, not even the report of the gun. Although loud noises may have an adverse effect later.
Personally, I don't condone taking a small child out without another adult along. You're marching about, packing a kid that has no means of defending for themselves. If their solitary protector is incapacitated in some manner and cannot carry on, so goes it for the kid.
The motive appears to be that the hunter has a day off but is consigned to child minding. "Hey, I don't want to waste a day off, I'll take the kid with me."
There is a time to take them, solitary hunting is not the time. When they are older, have memory and can get about on their own, that is the time.

[BgBlkDg]

I totally agree, do not think that kids under about ten belong on hunting trips, they are not able to comprehend much of what's going on at an earlier age in many cases.

[leadpillproductions]

Wow you guys are tuff on him , ive takin my son hunting right from the beginning from in the crib to now 13 years old . I think its awesome to take the kids out before their old enough to remember . Let me ask you guys a question do you or did you take your kids campin before they were old enough to remember as you guys put it???? Whats the difference not much I think. So leave the kids at home I guess lol

[300rum700]

My son was 4 last fall when I had him with me and shot an immature moose. I had three full days of non stop questions about that moose and what we do with it. It was the most curiousity I have seen in him, ever. I can assure you he had full comprehension of it by the time we were done. The earlier they are exposed to it the more it becomes part of life, by the time they are 10 they've already been taught what's cute and cuddly shouldn't end up on the dinner table.

[leadpillproductions]

My point exactly I bet he had a blast I for one take my son with me as much as I can , good on you for takin the little guy with you.

Valid point I have a fond memory of hunting with my old man when I was 4 long story either way there was many before I was left in the truck while he banged down deer and moose and he'll I'm still around lol. I think it's neat knowing I was around right from the beginning

[.330 Dakota]

Gophers on my front lawn,,,I dream about them f@#*kers constantly

[.330 Dakota]

Seriously though
1) Alaskan Brown Bear
2) African Lion
3) Cape Buffalo

[panhead]

I'm not "high maintenance" ... just like to win the moose draw again before they are all gone ... or I expire.

I guess you missed the point of solo hunting with a child. Not to be a smart ass, but you seem to have trouble discerning that part.
It is not the same as going camping.
Going camping is usually a family affair with more than one adult. My kids were part of that process at a tender age, but hunting forays were reserved for an older age.
Whats the difference not much I think. The difference is the high risk of the child suffering the same fate as you when it goes awry. You have no immediate backup. You have to think outside the box.

How many hunting accidents(not just firearms related) do we have in BC per year? How many vehicular accidents in the cities do we have each year? Kid is safer in the bush with Dad than during his drive to daycare.

If you are taking young kids on hunts you can pretty much guarantee it's going to be a road hunt. How dangerous is that?

Lol thank you SSS... Jager. .. you sound like my girlfriend... your chances of whatever fate you have I'm the bush are more unlikely than being it town on a daily basis. .. if you shelter your kids to this extent they will be going to the grocery store for meat for a very long time either that or going to my kids place as the wild game grocery store lol ;)

[Jagermeister]

Does this look like road hunting to you? Mr. Weber even states it a walk about.

However, it's a free world (so far) and one can do much as they please. However, come the day that some kid perishes due to some unforeseen event, the parent better perish too as I will be all over that dude like shit on the kid's blanket whether the person responsible is dead or alive.

Now, about the real topic, Dream Hunt. I think my dream hunt would be for a Tian Shan Wapiti in Kazakhstan. I am intrigued by that area of the world. Ancestral thing I suppose.

What I see here is a proud father, And a great hunter. He has taken his daughter out and she gets to smell , See, and Hear whats going on. Looks like he went on a dream hunt with his daughter. I have taken my daughter on hunts when she was young. And every time I loaded up the truck, She wanted to go, When she was five she asked a lot of questions. She also told me she hates fishing. Heck my father used to take me fishing on his shoulders. He didn't like taking me sometimes. He said I ate all the worms he had for fishing. Mr Weber. Keep enjoying life with your daughter. Mine is seventeen now and told me a few weeks a go. That I am going to be a grandfather. Doctors estimated birth time , November 25, 27. Would be nice if it was on the 27th. Then I could celebrate mine and hers on the same day.

[jweber_10]

It was a walk Jagermeister, it my back yard all 160 acres maybe you can keep your dumbass comments too yourself if you have nothing nice to say, the reason shes in a car seat is because I went and got my wife and drove to the deer. But I guess thats too bad you just cant believe what people write. Who do you think took the pic anyways thanks to everyone else for the nice comments I hate when people have to talk down about other guys hunts its too bad

One of the best pictures I've ever seen:)

[zippermouth]

I totally agree, do not think that kids under about ten belong on hunting trips, they are not able to comprehend much of what's going on at an earlier age in many cases.

some of my best memories I have hunting was with my dad and grandfather before I was ten years old. I remember dad dragging me along for mule deer at probably six or seven, he would give me pointers, give me shit for making too much noise, how to always watch the wind, how to find sign, where the deer feed, bed, rut etc, always ask me what direction the truck was at different times of the day. being out at such a young age is what has given me the passion and knowledge I have for hunting today. to say any age is too young should kept to yourself. most of us are grown ups here and can decide what age we want to take our kids out with us. I live the dream with two big hunts each fall now elk and mule deer, but a hunt for stones is high on the list!

[Rob Chipman]

My dream hunt for the near future? Itchas. Fly in, or better yet, ride in.

[forestwalker]

Ashnola mulie, on horseback
dalls and stone sheep northern BC/yukon
Northern BC giant moose
Caribou and everything else in the spatsizi
the itchas
anyplace utterly wild and inaccessible done on horseback, should have some horses in the next year or so, then you won't be able to keep me out of the mountains.
Alpine hiking hunts for goat and caribou.

Man this list could go on forever!
