For me I think it was the hunting instinct that never goes away. Being able to outwit the target quarry whether it be animal, bird or fish.  Probably started by catching birds with a garden sieve

Any country no bans what would it be? Mine Coyote hunting with sighthounds … Charts have you Participated in hunting Coyote’s 

No, mate.

Dan Edwards who used to be on here gave me an invite to hunt coyote with his dogs in Illinois US, but I never got round to it. 
As for favourite quarry, I’ve been lucky enough to have ran dogs all round the world on various quarry but I still like to see a dog on a daytime hare or better still , a deer/grey type in full flight on a daytime roe .

But I’m just as keen to have a mornings ferreting rabbits here or jump on a plane and go to Australia to hunt fox or New Zealand to hunt boar.

Im lucky because I get free flights because of my job, even though I’m long retired .

Cheers.

I think ratting with terriers , as bland as it may seem, it's a realistic ambition , something I used to enjoy , I guess I'd enjoy legal daytime on deer. Id like to have a bash at ragondin in France with terrier and lurcher. I've no desire for big game, if I won the lottery I'd buy a nice rough shoot to mooch about on with dog and gun. These days I'm enjoying fishing and it fits in easier with life.

Some pals of mine did just that ! They contacted like minded lads over there and got invited to go and hunt everything from badger to boar to bear , I could have went with them but I did the same thing and asked if anyone in Australia would let an old Pommey , (Limey), tag along on a hunt. My pals had the time of their lives , as did I 👍

Just shows ; “ you don’t get if you don’t ask “ 😂👍

Cheers.

Early 1900s colonial era 12 month safari!

If a Time Machine is out of scope :D then either some sort of dangerous game hound hunt (mountain lion / leopard) or another mountain rifle hunt, dall sheep or goat in NA. 

Hounds an mountain lions would be an amazing experience
