The recent run of cold days kept me in the shop mostly and my mind got to wondering.....if you only had one more BG hunt to do before you pass on and it had to be a DIY dealo what hunt would that be and what rifle would you use?
For me as much as I love hunting deer at home here in Mn. I'd pick a trip to our cabin in Montana to hunt deer/elk with my 3 kids and a bunch of friends, and the rifle would be a pre 64 M70 of some sort....
and you?

Do turkeys count??? Get my Osceola and complete my Grand Slam.
Kill that booger with my BPS 10 and 2 1/4 oz. #4s, heap turkey medicine.
If it has to be big game send me to Alaska for a Yukon moose and give me a 338 Winny in a Ruger 77 Mark II SS, boat paddle.

I'd burn my 12 Colorado deer points in the best unit they will permit. The rifle would be my McMillan stocked m700 in 270. Provided it happened this year.

I'd take my son to Wyoming with me, for pronghorn and mule deer. It's a great hunt that I intend to share with him someday.
I'd be happy if that was my last hunt.
Regards, Guy

It would be pheasant hunting wild birds with my son in the plains states. I want him to experience bird hunting the way it used to be to many years ago.

I've done all DIY hunts here Colorado---elk, bighorn sheep, mtn goat, antelope, black bear.
I've got enough points to draw a high country buck but I don't know if I want to do another backpack hunt.
There is a grizzly hunt scheduled for this June in AK. It's an outfitted hunt no DIY for non-res grizzly in AK.

Desert bighorn for me. Keep hoping that I will draw before I get too old. However, I have friends who hunt lions on mules and they have assured me that they can get me within rifle range of a ram if I ever luck out in the draw.

Big Horn sheep hunt near the Judith River in the Missouri breaks of Montana. Saw some dandies there while Mule deer hunting just about every year.
Rifle would be my Ruger 77 7x57 and Hornady 154 gr InterLocks.

I'd go hunting mule deer in Wyoming, with my Wife. I think I would use my 350 rem mag, I have,t shot a mule deer with that yet.
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

Roe Bucks in Europe with my .223 or .22-250 NULA's
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Another November hunt for deer (mule or whitetail) with my son and my brother. Camp in a wall tent and pray for some good tracking snow!
Rifle would be my yet to find/buy pre 64 270, either a factory fwt or a bit of a custom that about replicates one. I have the specs in my head, just need to find the rifle (and funds) to get it started.

Somewhere many, many years from now with my kids and hopefully grandkids chasing whatever they wanted to hunt.

Free range buffalo with my shiloh sharps 45-70. Old school all the way.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
