MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Some asked me this and it ended up like the lottery question that comes up around the fire. Rather than endlessly going on and on of possibilties I decided to reroute the question and say what would you rather do and give 2 options. A) If it was all paid would you rather go on a fully prepped full on 2 week drop camp in the wilderness of your choice with 2 freinds for multiple species including fishing with meat pick ups and resupply OR,,, A fully funded full on fully staffed hunting lodge near the wilderness of your choice for 2 weeks with a 1 on 1 guide and your 2 buddies where you could hunt and fish and eat and sleep all at the lodge.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 1, 2013 I would love both, but for now, I would do the drop camp and do the lodge when I get older and it's harder to get around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennyazman Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Option number 1 for sure! Sounds pretty amazing. But option 2 wouldn't be bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Man I need some new freinds, they all picked the lodge. Well if this ever happens I know where to find the 2 buddies. Option #1 for me too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted March 2, 2013 I've done both, more than once. Wilderness camping is wonderful when you're young. I speak with authority in saying it can be tough on old geezers. As for my dream hunt: Twenty one days in Tanzania for elephant, gerenuk and lesser kudu. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mocha1545 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 Option #1 as long as I can have my cot and a bottle of Laphroaig with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted March 2, 2013 I've done both, more than once. Wilderness camping is wonderful when you're young. I speak with authority in saying it can be tough on old geezers. As for my dream hunt: Twenty one days in Tanzania for elephant, gerenuk and lesser kudu. Bill Quimby LOL. I am well on my way to geezerhood. Right now I will take #1, later on #2. I am with you Bill. A 21 day Tanzania safari would be a dream come true. They provide those luxury east African tent style camps. Now all I need is about $125,000.00 C'mon Powerball!

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted March 2, 2013 I read a book about newzeeland and they have some cool sounding multi species hunts over there but I think most are backpack and really rough terrain. Sounded like some real adventure. I am not sure on a dream hunt though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjvcon Report post Posted March 3, 2013 I'd go #1 ... but the second choice wouldn't suck either. Too many dream hunts to list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounded like some real adventure. I am not sure on a dream hunt though." Wilderness hunting in New Zealand today does not involve what most American hunters would call "camping" and "backpacking." Locals charter helicopters to transport them and their gear and food at huts the government has built for hunters in remote areas. If you are from ":overseas" and hire an outfitter, you'll be put up in a lodge below the mountains and flown in a helicopter to and from the hunting areas each day for tahr and chamois. For red, sika and fallow deer, as well as feral goat and wild boar you more often than not will hunt on a high-fenced "estate." Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted March 3, 2013 #1. It takes me a couple of days just to settle in and stretch out the old leg muscles and if I was in a lodge I'd just get fat. LOL My idea of a hunt would be somewhere remote where I don't see any other people, possibly Mongolia, South America, Alaska or maybe Siberia. A spot and stalk archery hunt on an old African Lion would be right there on the top of my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
