In need of suggestions

[hunter25]

For something more exotic, but still within your budget (for the hunt, but not including travel costs), consider a caribou and/or musk ox hunt in Greenland. I did it in 2022 and it was a great experience. Prices have gone up some and the outfitter is now booked a couple years in advance, but you may want to take a look at it. Send me a PM if interested.

I'm leaving for this hunt in 7 weeks from today.
I booked 2 years ago for $4200. I see it's now at 1k more and has changed from 6 days to only 4 total. At least the outfit I'm going with.

I’m a big game guy first, but from your list (only if wild birds) I pick pheasant every time.

Hey, I can help you out. I have some connections on the type of thing you are looking for.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I ended up booking a trip for black bear in the Gila wilderness, NM.

I will be considering some of your suggestions for future trips. Thanks again!

A guided bison or cow elk hunt in Wyoming or Montana might fit your budget and still feel different from the usual stuff. I did a winter cow hunt a while back and had a blast, then warmed up the cabin with some lemon scented candles I’d packed, which made the place feel a bit less rough. You could also look at Canadian black bear hunts, which stay pretty reasonable and feel like a real change of pace.

This I have considered. Thank you!
