Last I checked water buffalo in AUS was around $10,000 USD to hunt.
Are you thinking of the scrub bulls?
Lots of people LOOOOVE feral pigs... While I don't really count it hunting and thus doesn't really deserve to be in a discussion of a hunting bucket list, I'd be interested in doing a helicopter hog hunt. Not many opportunities to shot guns from a helicopter.

Hunting bucket list for Lg game would be sheep, goat, grizzly bear. I’d love to hunt ring neck’s if we add in small game, beautiful birds.

They’re not there an invasive pest. But they are wild the population living there now has lived their entire lives in the bush. they used to cull them in droves and sell the meat but Canada and the US stopped allowing the import of it so they kinda just stopped doing it over time.
I've been on a self guided moose hunt in northern mb for several years now. We never saw much in the sign of moose, but we had a blast.
We stayed in camp that was a collection of tarps and shrink wrap around trees (for our cook shack shelter), that a third world shepard
wouldn't #### in. The wood smoke from fires burned your eyes, and the outhouse was a 300' walk uphill from camp with a million dollar view.
For me, it isn't about the killing of a critter, but the adventure of seeing what is out there.
That being said, I would like to finally knock an moose over with something other than a semi.
But my true bucket list animal, for some reason would be to shoot a walrus.
Not easy, nor cheap, but very few people on this planet have had the chance, or opportunity to do so.
I would like to add mu name to the list.

I'm also considering a caribou hunt. Been looking at Northern MB as they all non-resident DIY caribou hunts. No outfitter required.
Would you expand on the DIY part regarding caribou in Manitoba please?
I'd definitely be interested but everything I see says "Through a licensed outfitter and MUST be accompanied by a licensed guide"

Elk in Alberta which I will hopefully get into next fall. Definitely have the points, but my cousin was busy this fall and elk is a heavy lift to ask him to commit to.
Whitetails in Saskatchewan with my uncle. There are some dandy deer in his area and I've only hunted it a little but no matter what it's alway sfun.
I grew up on caribou and have shot several, but I'd love to get back up North for a caribou hunt but it would have to be the right hunt. My last caribou hunt was with my late father in 1995 so I'd want to be sure of the kind of hunt and people before I committed to doing another one.
I've shot muskox before but I'd love to get back to Banks Island to hunt with my old friend John Lucas Sr. and maybe take a fall muskox with my bow. All before old John is too old to get out on the land. Better get on that.
I guess I'm getting to the point where the people I hunt with are more important than the animal. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I stand corrected, I just looked through their Reg again and see the line about an outfitter being required. I saw the cost of a non-resident tag for caribou so assumed it could be purchased over the counter.
Other Provinces like Alberta don't offer a cost for non-resident OTC game tags for elk for example, because an outfitter is required.
Interesting. BC lists tag fees for resident and non resident in their regulation synopsis, even though you can't hunt big game without a guide or someone with a permit to accompany.
