If You Could Hunt Anything, Anywhere…. Where Would You Go?
This article originally appeared in the Sierra Bullets Blog
Get the Sierra Bullets tech staff together and you have an impressive brain trust, with a vast amount of knowledge about all things shooting- and hunting-related. We asked a variety of Sierra Bullets staffers, all avid hunters, about their favorite hunting venues. Here are their answers to the question: “If you could hunt anything, anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you hunt?”

Africa topped the list of “dream hunting locations” by a landslide. Canada and Alaska were both picked twice, with other destinations each favored by one staffer:
Africa 6 votes (Kudu, Eland, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Lion, Plains Game)
Canada 2 votes (Moose, Black Bear)
Alaska 2 votes (Dall Sheep)
Wyoming 1 vote (Antelope)
US Rocky Mountains 1 vote (Elk)
Argentina 1 votes (Doves)
Australia 1 vote (Non-specific)
Carroll Pilant (Ballistics Technician): “Back to Africa for kudu and eland.”
Rich Machholz (Ballistic Technician): “African Cape Buffalo with my longtime friend Lloyd in Zimbabwee.”
Tommy Todd (Chief Ballistician): “Free Range African plains game”
Matt Reams (VP Sales & Marketing): “Probably a leopard. Africa is cool to see and that is a pretty scary/dangerous hunt that would be very thrilling.”

Dan Mahnken (Production Resource Mgr.): “Africa and the African lion. More exciting that way it’s a 50/50 chance for both of us.”
Brad Vansell (Toolsetter): “Anything in Africa, or Australia.”
Philip Mahin (Ballistic Technician): “Canadian Moose”
Duane Siercks (Ballistic Technician): “What? I can’t make a list! My next hunt that I dream about would be to go to Canada for a very large black bear.”

David Palm (Process Engineer): “Elk anywhere in the Rockies.”
Gary Prisendorf (Ballistician): “Doves in Argentina.”
Chris Hatfield (Production Manager): “Anything in Australia would be cool.”

I’d just like to get drawn for an elk, right here in Kentucky. No need to travel all over the world when there is such great game right here. Besides I don’t have a passport!
Personally I would love to go on a polar bear hunt on pack ice. Enormously dangerous, perilous, and difficult but what a story that could be.
I can’t think of anything more exceptional than Mongolia for Argali sheep. What a hoot that would be!!
Elk/Grizzly is my hunting bucket list and maybe a wolf..
How about New Zealand. A safe Country for a Start. But you can hunt; Red Deer, Elk, Fallow Deer, Rusa Deer, Sambar, Sika, White Tail, Himalayan Tahr, Alpine Chamois, Feral Goats wild pigs as well as Ducks, Geese, Swans and Rabbits Hares Possums and Wallabies. Food for thought.
Yeah New Zealand is great hunting. Getting firearms in and out of NZ is straight forward too. Not so for Australia! We just download a free hunting permit and go for it. I dont hunt birds which has a season but all the other animals are free to hunt all year except Wapiti and White Tail. Minimum caliber is 222. If you want to hunt something that could hunt you, we have wild Bulls. They are 1000kg + and do not like to share.
New Zealand is the place ! Just got an 11 point red deer last night with my bow: the roar is on!
Best hunting is within 5 miles of my house.
