Lots of good thoughts here. As far as dream hunts go, if you are interested in Africa, I still feel it is the best bang for the buck. I've gone 3 times and have never spent more than 7K for the hunt. This does not include taxidermy! I went on a caribou hunt once and absolutely loved it, but the cost of it nowadays normally makes me think about Africa again. Hard to beat staying in 4 star accomodations, eating fantastic food, and seeing a multitude of different species each day.
Currently, I'm with Ryan on this one. Putting most of my focus on whitetails and turkeys....at least untill I can afford to go back to Africa!
