Watching that Discovery channel show about the flying sharks made us think of shooting the flying carp with a bow. That would be pretty crazy shooting a jumping shark.

Stone Sheep and Mountain Goat in British Columbia for as long as it took to harvest both. Maybe even a little bit longer just to enjoy the experience even more.

I already have enough trouble sleeping in the off season, thinking about what to do next. The northern BC or Yukon everything hunt will likely remain only a fantasy (at least if I want to stay married). I may just decide to do a full season bow hunt for mule deer in WY, and finish up with the rifle if I still have the tag in my pocket. Alone & Unafraid.

I'd love to do a Stone sheep hunt. Just something about sheep hunting...once you've gone, you can't wait to do it again! I hit the lotto once for a California Bighorn ram, I'd love to go again! Of course, a more realistic hunt would be any limited entry mule deer tag anywhere!

For me it would be a much coveted desert sheep hunt here in NV. I have 10 bonus points and the area I apply for is only 20 minutes from my house and I see sheep regularly. I would be able to hunt the entire season from the comfort of my own house.

That would be sweet to have a hunt like that with the comforts of home!

Yukon or AK moose float hunt. Would probably carry a caribou tag as well. Take my dad. He's dreamed of hunting AK moose since he was a boy. Seeing him drop one would make the trip.

Rocky mountain bighorn, the farther north the better. Take my son, when he's old enough. My ultimate trophy is one of those big, thick necked, chocolate colored bruisers. Probably never do it, but that's what I'd like.

Since we are talking about a "dream" hunt, and there are no budget limits, here are my top picks:

1) The Montana Governor's Sheep tag or to draw a Montana Missouri breaks sheep tag.... and to have the whole season for a DIY hunt.

2) To hunt for a huge, gnarly, massive red stag in New Zealand (or possibly in Europe). This has probably been on my wish list the longest and one I hope to fulfill someday.

3) Somewhere, somehow to hunt a world class Roosevelt elk. There are a lot of places to hunt for quality Rocky Mountain elk, but the big massive Roosevelts are very, very hard to come by. I understand there are a handful of guided hunts in BC that are pretty special.

Of the top 10 all-time typical Roosevelt's elk, 4 are from OR, 3 from CA, 2 from BC, 1 from WA.

Of the top 25, BC has 9, OR 7, WA 5 and CA 4.

But, if you look at the last 10 years only, CA has 13, BC 10 and OR and WA 1 each. That's a big shift away from WA and OR and puts CA solidly in 1st place, believe it or not.

Interestingly, two days ago my nephew mentioned a mutual friend (in his 30s) who has killed multiple B&C Roosevelts (300" class) on public land here in Oregon, and one just this past fall. That's just one guy. A lot of bulls just don't get entered. Now a massive 360+ Roosevelt, that's what I'm talking about!

Definitely a giant Mule deer hunt for me.... With my wife, boys, daughter, and dad.

As someone mentioned before a Colorado governors tag or even an Old Mexico or a Canadian hunt.

Polar Bear in Nunavut with native guides. And I'd be able to bring the hide and skull home. I'd get it mounted and send a picture to every member of PETA that is able to read.
