Hunting is our game and the type of animal that you’re hunting will depend on what state(s) you’ll want to visit. Whether you’re a big game hunter, a trophy hunter, or just a casual hunter, here are 5 places that are prime hunting locations:

5) Washington

Here is your chance to take home a big moose.  Dale Denney of Bearpaw Outfitters believes that the bulls produced in Northeast Washington are trophy quality. Dale says that most bulls take there are, “between 36”-50” antlers” and “there are a few big old bulls in the area that will measure over 50”.” Here is a chance to not only take a bull, but take a trophy too.

4) Brownsville, Texas

Nestled next to the Texas/Mexican border, Brownsville is a quiet town that offers an array of hunting options. Choose your pleasure between deer, antelope, wild hog, quail, dove, turkeys, and ducks.  Brownsville has options that will make every hunter’s mouth water.

3) Argentina

Here is a twist for you: Argentina offers some great hunting options if you have the money to make the trip.  Different hunting options include: Red Stag, Axis Deer, Wild Boar, Antelope, Puma (Cougar), Water Buffalo, or Capybara (giant rat). Not only do you get to experience the beautiful scenery of Argentina, but you can hunt some exotic animals.

2) South Africa, Zimbabwe, or Tanzania, Africa

All three of these could be in the #2 spot on their own, but we decided to combine them into one. Africa offers some great options for animal hunting between lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, zebras and crocodiles.  If you have the money and time to take a trip to Africa, you need to take some time to see the wildlife, and hopefully do a little hunting.

1) Alaska

Alaska offers some of the best bear hunting opportunities in the world. Whether it is a black bear, grizzly bear, or a kodiak bear you won’t be disappointed in your choices here. Hunting a kodiak bear is an opportunity that every experienced hunter should have. Be careful though, these bears are smart and sometimes will hunt you instead.

If you are looking for a great hunting opportunity to test your skill, have a fun weekend, or maybe just for a trophy on your wall, we recommend looking at these 5 places. Remember happy and safe hunting!
