Hunting the UP of Mi with Ron LaClair. I have always enjoyed his stories and pictures of his hunts.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

Wow, that is a loaded question. I have several, most I have written about in one media or another, so I'll "long story short" it:

1--The ultimate dream hunt- My Dad cancelled his Caribou hunt in Alaska in 1965 when he found out I was on the way. I'd like to not only give him HIS dream hunt, but join him on it.

2--Red Stag--It was the hunt of royalty in the old world.

3--The moose I could not release on in Maine with my Browning Nomad in 1982. (That was 8 yards away from me)

4--NOT pulling the trigger on a Buffalo in a brass tube scope atop an old black powder Sharps.

Sorry for ramblin, but one can dream.....and you started it.  ;)

Spot & stalk bear, any type, colour anywhere it's legal. Not wanting to do the outfitter thing, just backpack and bow, like Fred

A never ending hunt. Just go out into the wilderness and hunt till I drop.

It doesn't matter what I would hunt.  As long as it is me and my Poppa with plenty of time to enjoy it.  OK, how about a float trip in Alaska.  That should do it!

Well, I've got to tell you fellas what got me thinking about this, (besides always dreaming of it;) I have recently done some hiking here in Ireland. Man o man, if you could only hunt in this terrain! What beauty! Plus there are domestic sheep all over making daydreams of mountainside stalks ever present in my mind. Here are some pics:

I have two Dream Hunts I have always wanted to do.  

#1 Yukon moose

#2 Elk anywhere

Sad to say they will probably never come true. Heart condition and diabetes will probably not let me be able to go to the terrain they live. But, I can still dream of it as I stalk hogs and deer.

My dream hunt is Africa, with my wife and daughter.  I don't have anything specific I want to shoot, just to be there.  My daughter is five now and this year we started an Africa trip saving account with an allotment coming out of my check directly into this account.  In 10 years, my daughter should be old enough to really enjoy the experience and we should have the extra cash saved for a 10 day hunt and safari for the 3 of us.  There are other hunts that I am planning between now and then, but this will be the big one and we are making sure to plan now, so that it happens.
