Your 2025 Hunt Plans?

[UKHunter]

Hi UK Hunter, no this is not a McNab. It is just a challenge for our Carruthers members to achieve. Carruthers & Co is a small hunting and fishing club of life-loving adventurers and we dream up challenges from time to time. The Golden Tie challenge requires our group to hunt some specific quarry in Africa and Scotland. A bit of fun. Spice has no value in a bottle.
As soon as I have the plans cemented I will let you know Para45. It would be great to meet up. Kevin

Ah sorry, i misunderstood then. Sounds a great idea to come up with some challenges to go after.

Stop caring about work. I'm halfway serious about that.

Bezoar Ibex (Turkey) in Feb
Leopard (Namibia) in July
Chamois (Croatia) in November

Going to be a good year!

That’s really what I’ve found too. I can book a trip and then find a way to get the days off work or I can stress and use work as an excuse to not book a trip. It’s a mindset. There are a lot of hunters who could have done a lot more than they did and regret it later.

Uganda for buffalo in Feb/Mar.

Heading to SCI to book my next Elephant hunt!
Very excited

Just Botswana non trophy elephant in September for me. Otherwise, I’ll be spending the year working on my deer property and hunting that.

Thinking Canada moose for 2026 if anyone has a place they’d recommend (preferably Manitoba or Alberta)

Planning a Botwana hunt next year. Still on the works though.

Going to plan for antelope in Wyoming this fall. Maybe black bear in NC also. Typical deer and turkey in South Carolina also.

I didn’t know Botswana offered non-trophy elephant hunts? Is it a true non-trophy non-exportable bull or still an exportable bull in an area that doesn’t produce large ivory?

Peru in June for geese and ducks
Michigan for Turkey in may.
Might try wv for deer this fall, want to kill something with a .35rem lever action Marlin I inherited from my uncle.

January/Feb - sandhill cranes in Texas.b
June - Mozambique for leopard, to complete my Big Five/Dangerous Seven. Looking for a croc to better the 15' I got in Zambia, hippo if the opportunity presents. Not much else on my list, porcupine - maybe.
October - back to Louisiana for alligators.

Good luck to all in 2025
