    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    I’m guessing more and more North American hunters will opt for an internstional sheep hunt instead of hunting one of the domestics. Even guys that might already have a half slam today must be looking at the prices to complete the their slam and seriously consider Asia. Assuming you don’t have...

    Closed Door Hunts around the World.

    I would like to take something physical home that will act as a far better recollection of the trip than any photo album could. We are already prohibited from bringing any of the meat home (a shame) so the horns and hide are the next best thing.

    How long does bear meat last in the freezer?

    I'd eat it. I generally go through all of my game meat within 12 months but assuming it's been consistently frozen for 3 years I can't imagine it would have gone bad.

    The Capra World Slam.

    Right now Spain and Romania seem like the two standout European destinations for these mountain hunts. Do you know if there are any mountainous hunts for mouflon or are they generally more of a forest hunt? NZ is definitely high up on the list for the chamois and Tahr combo. I'm hoping to...

    World travellers, how many countries have you hunted in?

    That is an impressive list. With so many years hunting in North America are you close to completing the Super Slam? (29 animals).

    Not sure how to feel about Tribal Hunting…

    Nothing is more disheartening than driving up the day before moose season starts only to see the natives on the way in already have 4 hanging in their crown land camp.

    Closed Door Hunts around the World.

    Aside from the obvious species in banned countries (ie China) do we have a current list of species that can't be exported/imported into North America right now? I'm in Canada so we may have different exclusions than the States but I'd like to know if any trophies wouldn't be allowed to be...

    World travellers, how many countries have you hunted in?

    I know many here have hunted internationally and it sounds like once you start you really catch the bug for it. How many different countries have you hunted in? What species did you harvest? Any stand out hunts from your list?

    How do you deal with poor harvest rate in the field?

    Our group of 17 have been skunked at our moose camp for the last 3 years in terms of not drawing a tag. Our 2 weeks in camp became 2 weeks of armed bird watching (shoot a few grouse) with the hopes of hunting a bear or wolf. This year we have 2 tags so things are looking up.

    Closed Door Hunts around the World.

    I’m Canadian, that must be one of the few advantages we have here. Not that I could afford a polar bear hunt.

    Never hunted outside of North America, recommendations for first international hunt?

    The more I look into it, the more I am drawn to the various ibex species around the world. They seem to present the greatest combination of adventure and affordability. And those horns, forget the sheep.

    Some extra Spending Money

    With $2,000 in my pocket I'd be looking at a Winchester Model 70 or Marlin 1895 if I didn't already own one.

    Africa Hunts

    I've got a 375, 416, 458 and a double on the way. All I need to do now is let them stretch their legs in Africa.

    With the ever increasing price of a North American Sheep hunt, where are the best values internationally?

    I can comfortably spend ~$10,000/year on a a guided/international hunt for the foreseeable future. $20,000 would be pushing it but doable every 3-4 years for something special. These $50,000+ hunts are out of the question.

    Scope rings for Ruger Hawkeye

    I bought two of the same ring, same height. I’m guessing the scope was angled slightly upward.
