Would love to go to Alaska on a moose or brown bear, but age an health has creeped up on me.
I no longer chase trophies. I kill for food, self defense or removing predators/varmints to protect livestock and farmland. I leave the trophies for those who crave them.I always wanted to hunt and kill a Kodiak browny. But after watching Alaska's guided hunts I can't see killing a critter just for the cape and leaving the rest to lay.
I'd love to get a elk and a Moose.
Browning X Bolt HC Long Range Max in 300 PRC would be my weapon of choice, unless I aquire a 338.
I know the feeling. I'd rather a spike whitetail than a head full of bone. Not saying I won't take one, but the young deer are a lot better eating.I no longer chase trophies.

Best tasting deer I have shot was a "deer-of-the-year" whose size was hidden because his head and heart were on one side of a large tree and his give-away tail on the other side of the tree. 180-grain 308 Accubond destroyed his heart and bled him out by by the time I walked the 60-yards up to the deer and was mortified to see how small he was.I know the feeling.

That's a Marco PoloSign me up for an Alti Argali hunt in Mongolia. Rifle doesn't matter much to me. If it was today, my 300 wsm would go with me, but I am always looking for my next rifle so that is likely to change.

Better make it one of each then! I was a little lazy with my google-fu on snagging a pic.This is an altai
I go on a lot of hunts. They are a far better investment than buying guns
