My ultimate plainsgame hunt would be for a Lesser Kudu in Tanzania's Maasailand.
An Elephant Bull in Botswana would be my choice for one of the Big 5.
If I could only win the lottery...

IMO opinion the best hunt is for tuskless cow in the thick jess.
IMO the greatest trophy is a tie between a big, old, dark maned lion or a 100 pound elephant.

Leopard and Lord Derby Eland, although Lesser Kudu, Bongo and Sitatunga arent far down the list.
The journey is the reward.
