Not protected here, even though I have no ambition to shoot a cat I do not want it around.

I know there are folks who absolutely thrive on it, but I couldn't see myself dropping big money on a bird hunt unless it was a volume hunt. No matter how cool they are, and no matter how cool the venue is, its just another bird, and shooting it is going to be pretty much like shooting any other bird.

For me it would be Argentina. Dove hunt on day 1. Duck hunt on day 2. Then red stag on day 3.

Funny you mention that. One of my buddy's friends just took a trip to Habitat Flats. Not even sure if they got to hunt with Tony Vandemore or not, but they spent $2500/gun and killed FIVE birds. Fuck that noise. For $2500 I could EASILY hunt NoDak and Canada for two weeks and absolutely smash birds. No fucking thank you.

Hemingway had a quote that was just like that.

I think Hemingway's point was the opposite as Beel's, though.

I've done some traveling to hunt, it's not about the bird, it's about the experience and location. Being from KS, it was awesome flushing Huns off the side of a coulee and swinging through with mountains in the background.
I have no desire to hunt, regardless of the species, if I'm not with my friends or family.

I agree with Jerry, and Hammer, and Hemingway, and SWS.
Only saying that if i'm going to a far off place and spending big money on a hunting trip, its going to have to be an altogether different experience than I can get at home.

I agree, I love traveling for ducks and for new types of ducks.

Yes, but for me, going someplace cool just to shoot a different looking bird isn't quite "altogether different" enough for me. Birds is birds, I can get those at home.

I'd agree with the different country reguardless of birds. Small river or cattle tank in Texas vs pit in Louisiana, I'm making the drive.

I think the point Beel is making is he couldn't consider it a "dream hunt". I know he has traveled to kill birds, but they aren't dream hunts.

Yes, but for me, going someplace cool just to shoot a different looking bird isn't quite "altogether different" enough for me. Birds is birds, I can get those at home.
For me it usually revolves around an opportunity to hunt a historically significant area for waterfowl (Currituck Sound, Lake Erie/St Clair, Chesapeake Bay, etc) and then to hunt in the traditional way for that location (curtain blinds down east, Eiders off the rocks in Maine, black ducks on the tidal flats with sea weed decoys on PEI, etc).
To me it's all about the opportunity to experience a style of hunting that is uncommon to me, and why spots like Arkansas or North Dakota hold virtually zero appeal to me...I can shoot birds in flooded timber or in a cornfield pretty much any day of the season I choose to where I live - but ride out into a shallow bay, pump water out of a sunken blind, hop in and raise a curtain with the incoming tide and hunt brant and pintails from below the surface of the water??? Oh yeah.

I'd give up an entire season of duck hunting to go on a Elk hunt and bring down a big bull.
