What's the most fun a guy can have with $20,000

Depends on how you hunt. Whitetail on family land? Probably fishing by a relatively slim margin. Out of state/international/guided hunts for less common big game animals? Hunting by a country mile.
 
I don’t know what you should do, but I would do a Kodiak cast and blast (fish, deer, fox, waterfowl) for two weeks. If I had money left I would do a spring beat hunt the following spring in a place with big ones.
 
I’ve been lucky to see most of the world through business travel, vacations, and hunting trips.

Two places that stand out above the rest for me personally are Alaska and the South Island of New Zealand.

For pure hunting opportunities though, and to maximize the amount of hunts/kills with 20K I would probably take a sabbatical if possible and hunt multiple US states via vehicle.
 
You could shoot a lot of stuff in Africa and if you go with friends it will be very fun.
 
I did a bike tour across most of the us into bc/alberta for that. 3months and a lot of down time. Money well spent
 
I've got two answers:

1) do several hunts in North America to see places you want to see or hunt animals that tickle your fancy. For me, that would probably be BC for black bear, West Texas for Audad, Alaska for Caribou, maybe even Elk somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.

2) Fly across the Atlantic and hunt two different Ibex species in Spain and Kyrgystan. I find their horns to be some of the most majestic in the animal kingdom - right up there with the Greater Kudu.
 
He would definitely be hunting after those couple of days.....hunting for antibiotics and rash cream.
I knew a girl in the navy that told me she was a stripper (hooker) before she joined. She said the hard part is not getting knocked up when the magnums burst. Antibiotics takes care of most things.

I have a helll of a lot more stories she told me that are more Snipershide than rockslide.
 
I would head north and do some diving. Scallops, crab, abalone, sea cucumber. Then I'd take a few halibut trips. Maybe do a combo fishing, black bear/blacktail trip
 
If I've got 15-20k of discretionary funds, what the most fun/rewarding hunt/adventure you can go on? For reference, I'm 42, in good shape, and I've killed a hand full of elk/deer in the western USA, and I've never done a guided hunt. I also lean heavily on archery equipment. I certainly will hunt with a rifle, but its simply not as fun for me.

For this question, I'd also like to hear some ideas on mulit-species type hunts. Or possibly some kind of cool fishing add ons..

My first few options are roughly;

-DIY Alaska moose, fly in , drop off
-Guided BC moose
-Alaska Caribou
-Something in NZ.. Stag, Tahr, ect
_Argentina stag, birds, fishing...

Any other cool ideas, experiences...
