    big game hunting

    Anybody ever been?

    I don't even hunt and that sounds fun to me.

    Saw an ad here on ED for this place:

    hunted Elk, Mule deer & bear in Colorado back in 96 ...... could have killed elk (4x4) and mule deer (4x5) but held out for bigger animals hoping hard for a bear ... a bear is the only game I didn't see on that trip ... but yes it's a lot of fun, now I actually prefer shotgunning trips out west for pheasant & other upland game birds as opposed to big game

    I really would love to go chase elk or mule deer with my bow. Never had the chance but one day I will go.

    Not to try to hijack your thread, but I just booked a trip for an African Safari. Has anyone here ever done a big game hunt down there?

    my favorite author - Peter Hathaway Capstick - says EVERYTHING bites or stings in Africa .... it would be pretty cool to go, you will have to give a full report with pics when you get back .... when are you going ?

    We are going to Swartruggens, South Africa sometime next summer/fall (in the Northern Hemisphere). I will share some pictures and/or stories provided I survive the experience. We are not anticipating going for any of the big five on this trip, but it should be a fun experience.
