[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 3034930, member: 20769"] My best are always involving a novice or youth on their first hunt, or first harvest. When both of my daughters took their first deer, turkey, bear, swan, duck or small game. Then there were the hunts where they got their second, third.... and of course all the hunts with my dad, grand fathers, fishing trips, and the many, many other kids and friends I have had to honor to introduce to the outdoors. As for my personal best hunt, I would say it would have to involve Africa. Maybe my lion hunt as that was hands down the most electrifying hunt as for most of the hunt, he was hunting me. We continued to find his tracks on top of my own. When it was all over, I was extremely emotional as a lifetime dream had occurred. To be in the presence of such an amazing animal, after 23 miles of tracking and hours and hours being at his level and in the thick brush, the feelings were overwhelming and indescribable. What I wrote in my daily log/diary of that hunt was finished with the phrase that the event would never be forgotten but the magnitude of the hunt could never be fully described to anyone who had not lived and experienced it, and this hunt was mine and mine alone to remember and cherish for my lifetime. I felt a huge connection to all the books and stories I had read in my youth of Hemmingway and Roosevelt as they pursued the big 5, and also my connection to "The maneaters of Tsavo", a book I continue to read once or twice a year.
