Alright, here’s something I’ve been organizing in my head for awhile now.

Texas Rio Grande turkey hunt combined with a helicopter hog hunt.

I have a helicopter pilot who would love to pilot the trip. He’s from Switzerland, used to fly commercial planes for Swiss Air but wanted to learn to fly choppers. Came to America to log hours and get his license, ended up staying, getting his citizenship and is now more American than 98% of Americans. He has flown from Wisconsin to my house in Ohio just to pick up barbecue to fly back to Wisconsin to feed clients. If that isn’t FE worthy I don’t know what is.
 
Figure I would bump this one back up with an update.

Working on some new hosted hunt ideas, and adding new partners this week.

  • TANZANIA - Big 5 and Plains Game
  • SASKACHEWAN - Ducks, geese and cranes
  • GREAT BRITAIN - Driven pheasants, grouse and a McNABE challenge
  • CANADA - Muskox & Caribou
  • ARGENTINA - Water Buffalo, Axis Deer and Boar
  • FRANCE - Fallow, Mouflon, Roe Deer
  • ALASKA - Blacktails, Black Bear & Fishing

Those all look dope. I'll add that Alaska is an underrated sleeper on this list.
 
TANZANIA - Big 5 and Plains Game

Any updates on the hosted motorcycle trip?

Alright enough strong arming, @Charlie Benton and I will host all of these.
 
Wait @Tony Caggiano - you told me the Porsche Rallye was just @Pete Correale @Ron Dan and I set upon Europe, highly armed and with our combined (and maligned) ways of life, like pirates set upon virgin seas, to see if we could turn the place around in a handful of days….and now you are saying we have to host a bunch of “other people” and be nice and all that?…..

Several of our more exclusive trips (Porsche Rallye, Running of the Bulls) can only be arranged for a group, and not singles, due to logistics and the bespoke nature of the trip.
 
Love where the agenda is going, here are some to add:

“Irish Triple Play”: Hosted deer hunt in the Killarney area of Ireland, get Red, Fallow and Sika deer, and let’s toss in a sponsorship from Guinness.

“Doolittle’s Muligan”: Hosted midnight non-sanctioned and shadow force Sika deer hunt in Nara Park, Japan, with Yumi bows.

“The Week of the Long Horn”: Hosted Argentina hunt with Black Buck, Red Stag, and Axis deer.

“Red Dawn Revenge”: Hosted Fallow hunt in the former Soviet block. To quote John Winger (Bill Murray), “ C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like we're going into Wisconsin.”

And then yes, all the normal exotic shit you curate to us like Axis deer and Mai Tai’s in Lanai, Caribou on secret islands in the Aleutians, etc

@Charlie Benton and @Terry Houin can host all this fun!

My 2 cents... South America is underrated... and is a great time in general.

Let's pair some Japanese bass fishing with the Doolittle. Americans helped put them there, and now there's this crazy serious bass fishing subculture over there, while country leadership half wants eradicate them. Kinda like the Catalina mule deer. I think they have a kill order on all fish caught now, like Snakeheads in the Potomac. The post hunt/fish meal - kobe, sushi and sake.

Speaking of bass fishing, that brings up Cuba, with legend of bass big enough to challenge the world record - that was going around big-time in the early 2000s. Pair it with some black ops bird hunting and a lot of rum. Let's go!

You got some good trip ideas here - let's get cracking!
 
@Chad Adams

This is PRECISELY the creative genius I was hoping to inspire.

Our operating mode for Japan should be to break the next law while they are focused on finding us for the first instance, of said alleged violation.

On Cuba, I’m all in, and if the boys “allegedly” could penetrate Jamaica for an unsanctioned hunt, how hard can Cuba be?

I'm 100% in on a Japanese bass fishing trip. I've been wanting to cover both that subculture and their rockabilly scene for a while.

Great Britain trip would be cool as hell. Also a friend of mine went to Ireland for a stag and fallow deer hunt. That paired with a pub tour would be cool as shit.
