YOUR LAST HUNT

[TENBEARS]

If you knew it was going to be your last hunt because ya knew your time was near,what would yas hunt for?

[Tom]

Always wanted to hunt caribou, think it would be great to hunt tundra and possibly see hundreds of animals( or a few- as the case may be).

[Arwin]

Whitetail without a doubt. I can't get enough of my deer hunting!  

[Bowspirit]

When I first went to answer this, I thought for sure I would answer turkey. I enjoy turkey hunting more than anything, and they were the first game I ever hunted. But, I really can't think of anything more befitting of a last hunt than sitting on stand in the whitetail woods, during some frosty november day...

[Golden Hawk]

No doubt in my mind....It would have to be Kodiak bear. Hey if you're gonna go anyway go out in style.

[Stone Knife]

Moose would be my choice.

[soaring eagle]

whatever was in season at that time because any hunt is better than none

[Basic Instinct]

ELK!!! The day I heard my first Bugle, Changed my life. Why not go out hearing one.

[TENBEARS]

Hey stone knife,i see a bull moose around cranberry lake last fall.He wasn't huge probably 36 inch spread,but what was aswome is he was walkin across a big bog!If only i had a camera.

[Gordy]

Grizzly.  Because ..... hey, why not ? Right ?   :D

I'd actually like it to be a mixed bag thing with focus on bear, but moose and caribou as well.

[Jason in Bama]

Any hunt with my closest friends, my dad and brothers would be what I would choose. Preferably we would all get on a plane and go to Africa!

[AZStickman]

Elk in late Sept....... Terry

"Dying is easy for men like you and me it's livin that's hard" Who said that?? Well for me it would be bou or elk anywhere. I always said I would like to hunt either with one of my longbows  before I weez.

It's an hour before sunrise. A cold late November Morn. As the sunrise greets me w/ a final, "good morning" turkeys in the distance also say their farewells. A short time later a  squadron of Canadian Honkers say goodbye as they glide effortlessly overhead. A soothing steady snow is blanketing my favorite wool hunting outfit, along w/ everything else in sight. It's a perfect morning. My partner in this long standing love/hate relationship shows up , just as the snow increases in intensity. He has seen me, but feels something is different. no fear but still measured caution. No mature whitetail buck gives any less, without regretting it as they ride home in their opponent's truck bed. Our eyes meet, my bow in hand. Yet this time the string will not meet my cheek. All I wanted was to see him, one last time. He turns to walk away, but stops. As he looks back we both tell the other "go in peace, my brother, go in peace."

Nice one, Lefty.

[Charlie Lamb]

A confessional!  :D

[SOS]

Man, my first instinct would be elk, but I think it would have to be stalking hogs on Ossabaw Island in Georgia with my oldest daughter and hunting buddy with me.  What a place.  Wish my youngest liked to hunt. I've shared so many good days in the woods with her older sister, I feel like we've really missed some quality time together.

[Gordy]

Now that I think of it a little more.  My very last hunt I would want to be in my familiar woods.  A light frost on the leaves but it's quiet walking...everything is still....that rotting leaves smell. The chill in the air, but the sun is coming up warm. A nice walk about, ground hunt for deer and grouse until lunch. if I get me wish, I have two grouse in hand when I return to the cabin. But first I explore every corner I know....every hidden norway pine grove I know...and every scrapeline I've ever plotted...and through the cedar swamp one moretime.

If I could choose to expire in my treestand a half hour after sundown, I think that is exactly where I would want to go. Provided I could have my wife and kids in there with me.  .... and one last request would be one more close encounter with  that huge buck that came in too late in 05'.  Uffda what a dandy.    A huge silhouette on the ridge and circles chasing that doe again with white tines a blazing in the twilight...10 yards out and broadside again...only this time he's 10 minutes earlier.  I might just shoot low this night  

[madness522]

It wouldn't matter what I hunted as long as that hunt was many years in the future...

I would go after a Grizzly or Kodiak.  Something mean enough that it would be either him or me.

[BMOELLER]

GRIZZLY!! If I was gonna go anyway.
