Botswana the first couple of weeks in June with a friend to go after eland and a 60” kudu

Early March will be my first SA Trip and PG with Dave Freeburn Safaris, Can't Wait!

 

[Philip Glass]

I hunted the Spanish Ibex slam and both chamois in 2021 and 2022. I love the hunting culture in Spain. Would like to get there in 2025 to hunt an Iberian mouflon up in the Pyrenees.

I am looking forward to it!

 

[WAB]

Off to Umbria, Italy for a “hunt with the chef” trip this year.

 

[BnC 04]

We are in Zim for bull ele in Sept and then following that we head up to Zambia. Should be a fun 3 weeks

 

[reinwood]

Mid-August Easter Cape SA - Buffalo and plain game (looking for Eland, and Gemsbock)
September regular "public land" mountain hunting in Switzerland for Chamois, Red Stag and roe Deer.
October roe deer hunting with hounds and shotgun in Switzerland.
November driven hunt in France.

Going to DSC next week to finalize plans for 2025 trip to Zambia or Namibia.

I will also be looking for a European hunt for 2024, per my wife's request. I am looking for Roe Deer, Mouflon, and Ibex. I am leaning toward Spain. But Alaska is also on her radar for this year. It is always fun to talk to perspective outfitters at DSC.

I live in the Dallas metro area so DSC moving to Atlanta for a few years is disappointing.

March: Argentina: Red Stag, Buffalo (MG Hunting)
September: Romania: Red Stag (Huntromania)
November: Iowa bowhunting whitetail (non-sponsor)
Still trying to figure out if I can slip Africa in somewhere, or else save up for something big in '25

 

[LivingTheDream]

that’s to complete the chamois world slam

Can you provide some details on this!?! Thats a lot of hunting!!

 

[DPHunter4570]

Sounds like a lot of folks have big years planned!

I'm headed to SA for my first Africa trip in May with Frontier Safaris in the Eastern Cape. 10 days, 12 animals. My wife is coming with me as well. Pretty excited to say the least.

I'll do my usual turkey hunting in the spring here in Illinois and Missouri, and then head to my black bear haunts of Maine and Minnesota in the fall. Hoping to take a bear in each state this year.

I'm really thinking about adding a Saskatchewan or Alberta whitetail hunt to my late fall too. Those big bush bucks have got their hooks in me and I want to head up there for one of them.

 

[Tundra Tiger]

I am trying to cultivate an "every other year" life. As such, 2024 is all here at home this year. Fingers crossed on drawing a goat tag for an alpine lake on Kodiak. I applied for bison and musk ox too, but I'm a realist. I've thought about trying to put together a deer hunt in the SE. Other than that, it's moose and bear around here, and maybe draw a local tag for caribou. The other 2024 expense is getting my stuff home from Africa from this past year.

2025? Africa? Fingers crossed. I have some ideas, some of which have come up in recent threads.

August - Mongolia for Ibexes
September - NewFoundland for Caribou
November - Greece for Ibex, really excited because the family is coming with me on this one.

You need to work on spreading those out in the future... looks like too much fun in too short of span.

Well played

 

[LivingTheDream]

Well played

Yeah I asked my wife if she wanted to go to Greece, she obviously said yes. I said, "Great, we have to go on these dates". She immediately goes, "And what are you hunting now?"

 

[Hunter-Habib]

I go on safari every alternate year. Since I went to Tanzania for hippopotamus-on-land last year, I hope to be in Zambia for lion in 2025. Of course, there’ll be some accompanying plains game.

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

Montana rifle elk hunt for me and two sons-in-law. At the upcoming DSC, hope to find something for 2025. Thinking it's time for a cape buffalo.
