Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best place you ever hunted?

I miss the owner of that place. His name was RCSparks. He told us great stories of the depression years. He told us about how tough it was to work in the Boeing plant in Fort Worth during WWII.

The place in the picture is part of Little Crease Moutain in Fort Valley. The owner who is my cousin's father-in-law had a cabin here and another further into the "fort". He has since sold both. I remember walking through the mountain some mornings and it being so cold I would do jumping jacks to keep my feet and hands from going numb. The older guys would get back to the cabin and have all sorts of fanciful tails of what they saw or what had happened years before. At the time I hung on every word they said. When we stayed overnight they would snore so loud, I would swear the cabin was going to shake apart. Wood stove, kerosene lamps, no electricity, or running water. It was quite an adventure for a kid raised in the suburbs. I do miss it.

Luangwa Valley, Zambia

Wind River Mountains, Wyoming. Awesome.

Best place to hunt? Outdoors. If you hunt indoors, they kick you out of the petting zoo......

Wrapping up the hunt descending just off the Alaska Highway.

Yep, that is the spot...heaven on earth for the hunter.

Omay North, in Zimbabwe. Camp overlooked Lake Kariba. I was with my son. we were hunting dangerous game. It was awesome!

I got to go 3 times to Oceaneering's 6000acre high fence ranch in south Texas. I didn't kill a whopper but a couple of the other guys did. I saw several giant bucks, but they weren't old enough to shoot. Very cool place.

The "best" places I've hunted have also been the worst places I've hunted, depending on the hunt. All said, I enjoy South Texas the most overall...and yes, that is a trip for me. I live 830 miles from El Paso.

For big game or upland........I think I'm settin' purty good right here.

P.S. For fatties? The dance floor at any bar with an active one..........yer welcome.

About 30 miles north of Dryden Tx on 7,600 acres. Indian Creek springs started on that ranch. When hot, we just took a plastic chair and beer to the springs, walked into water neck high and sat down to drink beer. Cooled you off for sure.
The springs ran into the Pecos east of us.

Wonderful 6 years on that lease.

I said Zambia earlier, but when I was a kid it was anywhere when I had my Model 61 Winchester with me. Probably better than Zambia at the time. Before that it was my Red Ryder but those were halcyon days.

SE Washington, Blue mountains and surrounding area is my favorite spot in WA. I've enjoyed some other places.

Western Nebraska.
SW PA just for the memories it holds.

Malangani, now part of the Bubye Valley Conservancy.

Western ND

Alaska for us covers it all. Just never knowing whats around the next corner or hill. Lots of other things to do along with the hunting.

Scenery is beyond any description for us.

The folks are great generally speaking.

I"ve been to quite a few other places and AK still tops the list.

Plus, on any given hunt, we very well have walked where no other human has set foot.

And we are not the top of the food chain. All in all it makes for a grand time.

Alaskan amber or scotch or bourbon sitting in a reclining chair at camp watching the northern lights in September, listening to the moose cut up, and the lynx roar and the wolves howl... wow.

Lived and hunted in Alaska and down south but my best is still here in North Dakota on my own property. My daughter who is now 25 years old is why. We started when she was 14 and still do it. Nothing exotic just plain old whitetail. ED K

Never hunted a bad place.

Makes no difference if I'm hunting squirrels, birds, or traveling for deer and antelope. If I'm hunting, I'm happy.

Some of my fondest memories are of the Uncompahgre south of Cimarron, Co., A family grain and cattle operation near Lanark, IL, the Bayfield peninsula of Wisconsin, near Washburn, and a 17 acre squirrel timber near Morrison IL.

I still hunt a place north of Seiling. We need to get together sometime.
