Obscure hunts

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Hmmm, going to Australia and shooting something that is not a farm animal.

@shark_za
There's plenty to hunt that aren't farm animals, we have 6 species of deer and camel.
Big problem is all our borders are closed to people from overseas at the moment.

Hunting spring hares on a motorbike in the dark....

With no lights!

Mate you are not armed well enough the eat monometals for breakfast you may want to try titanium.
Bob

Bob,
Your right! Titanium would be lighter too, so higher velocity. The only question remaining is which type of scope? Fixed, variable, illuminated reticle, red dot, etc.?

@CoElkHunter
I would choose a fixed power variable with an illuminated red dot. The higher velocity with the titanium is the way to go. If you get a politician to go with you you could get even more velocity because of their blowhard capabilities. Just make sure it's one that backs hunting and importation of trophies.

I don’t know if someone has already mentioned this but I saw on an old Jim Shockey video when he was in Cameroon, he went after a python. Seems like an interesting obscure hunt to consider.

No need to travel to Africa for that! Florida probably has more pythons than Africa?

I was also thinking about Shockey’s show Uncharted when he went to Papua New Guinea for deer and buffalo IIRC. I think it was early in the first season. Looked like an awesome experience

Uncharted is a great show, plenty of obscure hunts on that show.

True, me and my brother have been wanting to go to Florida and hunt for some. Get some of the bounty money.

I hunted Muskox in Greenland.

Muskox.
You don't hear a lot of people who have hunted them.
From what I understand, shot placement is extremely difficult.
Hard to judge the body with all that hair covering it.

I'm doing this after the Wuhan virus settles down. A friend recommended it to me, said he had a blast shooting them with blowguns and darts.

Now THAT is really cool! Between the iguanas and pythons, Florida’s non native invasive fauna is out of control! Blowguns, pellet guns, spears, etc., what’s not to like? I wonder if their edible?

Yep, edible. Natives eat them south of the border.

Tabasco works on everything!

I hunted Muskox in Greenland.

And your write-up of your trip was really great. I enjoyed reading it. I've been thinking about that for a future hunting trip.

Walrus penis probably requires you go European on the taxidermy.......

Tur hunting in Azerbaijan was my trip for last June, cancelled of course....but sort of obscure.....FWB

 

[Longwalker]

I've just begun researching a hunt for wild wood bison. Pretty exotic, and within a couple days driving distance.

 

[Mike B]

Don’t know if this counts but we can offer things such as Bongo, Mahrkor, kangaroo, and a whole slew over others here in Texas.

Can you get a walrus for the stock tank?

 

[Philip Glass]

What are some of the most unknown hunts out there? The more I look into different hunts around the world, I seem to find some other hunt that looks like it would be a cool experience or a cool trophy. Are there any animals out there that stay out of public eye due to rarity, price, difficulty, etc?

Many. If you can go to the SCI convention you will be totally amazed!

 

[Charles de Ribeau]

You don't have to go to Alaska for that hunt. Utah has two totally wild bison hunts in the state.

The only problem is drawing the tag in either of them

You can also go to Custer State Park in South Dakota. It is 71,000 acres and has a self-sustaining herd. It used to be the only place in the lower 48 from which B&C would accept entries. Unfortunately, the price has gone way up ($6,000) from when I hunted there in 2000 and it has become much harder to draw a tag. They do both trophy hunts and cull hunts ($3,256).
