If you're capable of DIY backcountry hunting, I vote South Island of NZ as well. Fantastic place, easily the best hunt of my life. If you want to stay closer to home, consider West Texas aoudad. That's a great hunt that'll soon be unattainable due to rising hunt costs.

Go elk hunting in Oregon, everything else on your list is for old men.

Bear hunting in western NC is defiantly-- as they say on the internet when they can't spell or they use predictive-text--NOT for old men.

Hell, coastal bears in the Carolinas are no pic-in-ic, either, unless you're banging away over peanuts or hurricane hogs at hundreds of yards and have plenty of help. Now THAT can be a party ...

But I'm not working for the Carolinas Chamber of Commerce, so I don't encourage anyone from far to come hunt deer, turkeys or bear here unless they're willing to have their asses handed to them and go home skunked ... because it's not like home.

This goes double if they have the option to hunt some of them fancy animals in the Pacific Northwest, or Canadia.

BTW, antelope out of a blind or with a crossbow would be a snoozefest, but spot-and-stalk with a vertical bow is big-boy fun.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

I just spent 3 weeks in NC deployed to help the hurricane.
I did get to see elk. At one point I looked out my rigs window and looked up the mountains and thought “that might be steep to climb up.”
A few hours later, I was climbing up the exact spot I looked at. 😂

Antelope are meant to be killed with rifles, and yes I have a pope and young goat on the wall.

I’ve been to the western Carolina’s, meh I’ve hunted way rougher country. Although every hunt can have its challenges, so I’m sure its got its as well.

I’d still hunt elk if I was lived east of the Mississippi (FYI that is not on my bingo card)

No love for an authentic red stag in the Alps? Surely someone here has done it. Looks awesome to me.
