[PerH]

Bison, Irish Elk, God Bear , Mammoth and wild ox.

.458 and Swift ,NPB Mono solid

I'll play,

a colombian mammoth or mastodon would be at the top of my list.
A giant Irish Elk would need to be part of the top three,

and I would not be able to resist a member of the Entelodontidae, commonly known as the hell pigs. Basically 2000 pound warthogs.

Hell pig is a great suggestion.

Where did you get the other graphic with all the species? It's awesome.

 

[Fatback]

Saber tooth tiger and cave
/short faces bear for me. Probably go with the 404 Jeffery and 400 grain AFrames.

 

[VertigoBE]

Um... how big is your trophy room again?

I'm quite sure I'd go hunt these in their non-exportable versions

On the other hand, I think skull mount for the elk, just the tusks of the mammoth and a skull mount of the hell pig, would actually still fit somewhere in the house.

I seem to remember a wall photo with a Euro deer of some sort? I think you are being optimistic about them fitting.

Holy heck! Didn't even consider the shipping costs! Well, if I won't hunt lion because I can't bring it back, I'd be screwed on species like these.

Fortunately a lot of these critters inhabited North America.

Would those sabre tooth tigers be captive bred or not?

That hell pig looks interesting.....a driven hell pig hunt would be good fun....Nice pair of doubles in 450....470, or 500NE....with a loader....

On the second thought, maybe I would just stick to squirrel hunting:

And what size of that fancy tungsten shot would you use for those....?...

 

[Hunt anything]

That’s one hell of a bird but my old Chesapeake Tug would have probably died trying to drag one back to me.

And what size of that fancy tungsten shot would you use for those....?...

Depleted uranium from an A10 warthog.

I was thinking something along the line as appropriate as for Ostrich?

For all you interested in the topic, I highly recommend picking up a copy of American Serengeti by Dan Flores

A really well assembled and detailed account of the entire Pleistocene ecosystem across the great plains. Having grown up in that region, the idea of wheat fields and oil pumps (and now wind turbines) being replaced by short grass, short face bears, ground sloths, and unending herds of pronghorn, elk, sheep, etc. is a fantastic mental image.

His new book, Wild New World is good too, I'm in the middle of that right now.

 

[Phil Giordano]

Always dreamed to hunt Elasmotherium Sibiricum! ...I would try with my 416, hope it would work, as it's the max round I can shot well!
Now, Elasmotherium is truly a magnificent beast, has everything and much more...a misteryous, unique, tank size Monster, 5 meters of absolute brutality

The thought of these things existing alongside mankind is...terrifying.
