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.
 
-St. Brandon's or Alphonse Atoll for two weeks of insane flats fishing
-Maral Stag in Mongolia (although it does seem goofy to fly across the world to hunt an elk)
-Argentinian Red Stag/Wingshooting Combo
 
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.
 
The creative juices are not flowing in this thread. 5/10. Might come back and read again
 
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.
 
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.
