Geoff
Victoria,BC.

 

[Big Game]

Bear in early September. Then closely followed by grouse and waterfowl. Moose in October and Whitetails in November

Same itinerary as mine except I got drawn for elk, so I get to enjoy the late season hunt in January. Hopefully there's not 3 feet of snow and -30 degree temps.

I will be hunting my favorite prey, a coyote.

 

[Longwalker]

If you don't count varmints like crows and ground squirrels, I will start hunting Sept 1 with grouse and ptarmigan in BC, followed closely with waterfowl back home in Saskatchewan ( many bird hunts between Sept and Nov.) first big game will be bull elk and black bear mid-Sept, then a fly-in trip for moose and fishing, then lots more waterfowl & pheasant, then whitetail at home, and round out the year with plenty of coyote hunting and some trapping back at our bush camp.

 

[SeamusMac]

Probably goats norwest of Wellington in Makara, just because they're so damned evil...

But then I'll get serious an head out to Aorangi Forest Park at the end of August in search of some Red Deer for the freezer, maybe even a porker too.

.22 birdshot #12s work 100% for this large Canadian predator, a little hard on floors but cheap compared to losing your life



That cci stuff with the blue plastic really tears up dry wall. I once shot a evil winged moose (bat) in a basement.

It had a white powder on its nose from about 15' it was questionable for being rabid hence the shooting

 

[brybenn]

My next for sure hunt starts on Sept 27 in the Kalahari for huge maned lion then back to Jo'burg and up to Congo for Bongo, Red Forest Buffalo, Blue Duiker, and Forest Sitatunga.
.

If you don't mind me asking how much is the trophy fee for a big male lion in that area? Also can any part of it be brought back with the proper permits?

 

[BigUglyMan]

Probably caribou and grizzly.

 

[horseshoe]

Deer archery opens up in my area on the 27th! So, sausage making should commence on the 28th!

 

[spooksar]

Blesbuc, Eland, and Bushbuck in 7 days, in Africa as we type

 

[Suka]

WT/bear Sept. 8, elk Sept 17, magratory Oct, mule Nov, Son turkey, next may.

I just got back into phone service from an over night trip into some nice sambar country. slept in a cottage with a short drive up the road to begin hunting a big gulley system. it was part rainforest in the shaded gulleys and cornflake like on the dry faces.
being such a big system it was hard to find where the deer were located. i sat down for a muesili bar an after sittin down for 10 minutes i noticed a shape an color down in the bushy gulley that wasnt there before. the binos revealed a hind an calf feedin unaware of my presence over the 20mins i watched.

i went in blind an end outcome was not trophy stag shot.

maybe next time il attack it from another angle.
carried the Whelen enjoyed my time

[Why not?]

I will not be hunting, but will be guiding a couple from France today for LAKE TROUT!

Here's a happy lake trout hunter from an earlier trip.

Brybenn, trophy fee is 25K for the lion and yes the hide and skull will be coming home. No issue with properly sport hunted animals, just the necessary paperwork.

 

[muckwa]

Calf elk or calf moose in the morning.

 

[mossyhorns]

Mule deer in velvet with the bow. Pumped!!! Sept 1st

Where, where, where? Odd combination...............

 

[notlim2424]

c-fbmi-
Please don't take it the wrong way- but why hunt a canned lion? It just seems like a wierd combination-a rough jungle hunt in the congo, not cheap with a bongo and situtanga, and a high fence lion?
Or am I mistaken and there are some true wild lion available in the kalahi?
just curious

Also I think that blesbuck,eland,bushbuck are pretty standard on almost all the S.A. plainsgame hunts and expecially common in the limpopo area.

Negative on the canned lion, true free range in the Kalahari, tracked up by the San. No baiting and no dogs, just find a fresh track and follow.
The only high fence hunting I've done was in Texas. There are canned hunts as on the YO ranch, and then there are high fence hunts where I'm sure 90% of the animals have never seen the fence. These are the properties I hunt there with my longtime buddy Monty. These huge ranches have no idea how much game they have or sizes and most are working cattle, sheep or goat ranches.

By odd combo, I meant 2 little fellas and then the monster eland. Ya, all common to the same areas, just the thought of 2 under 200 lbs and then the 1500-2000 lb Eland, just struck my funny bone.

Good luck and good shooting, them eland are pretty tough and can take a good hit and trot off like a complete miss! Very disconserting!!

 

[notlim2424]

oh, that is interesting for sure- may I enquire who you are hunting with? When I search around all I can find in the kalahari is stuff that looks obviously high fenced. Are you going to be in namibia or SA?

I do get you about the safari size dichotomy that is part of the fun of safari isn't it.

big ugly & small pretty
