It's just you against nature. When you step out into wilderness to face your quarry, where you are in the world determines the kind of natural environment and prey you face, making each hunt different.
Even though hunting traces back to the Stone Age, it's a radically different thing now. Back then, people did it for gathering food. Now, it's more popular as a recreational activity.
So, the following is our list of the best places around the world to travel if you want to hone and test your skills in some of the globe's best destinations for hunting:
1) Argentina:
Argentina is home to some of the world's best hunting game, thanks to varying landscapes and rich biodiversity. The country does host a diverse array and selection of species, but it's also one of the more heavily regulated hunting industries on the planet.
The southern tip of the country is not far from Antarctica, so there's a wide variety of animals and birds to hunt. You can find pigeons and dove throughout the year, while water buffalo, pumas, stags, blackbuck antelope, and capybara are around in various seasons.
As long as you're going to South America, you might want to check out Uruguay while you're down there. Argentina is more popular, but the variety and hunting landscape in Uruguay are honestly just as good. There are five primary wetland areas along with hills and forests.
Duck hunting, dove hunting, and pigeon hunting are easy in Uruguay's landscape. Freshwater fishing is also good in the rivers and wetlands.
2) Belarus:
This landlocked country is home to 11,000 exquisite lakes, and nearly half its soil is still forested. That makes this country an ideal location for fishing and hunting game. The terrain here is mostly flat, with a lot of marshy tracts, making hunting even more exciting.
The national animal of Belarus is the European Bison, which is an extraordinary hunt. You can alternatively hunt wolf, wild boar, roe deer, red deer, or elk. If you’re going to go, be aware of your predator calls for hunting.
3) Cambodia:
The government here banned hunting in 1954, but reversed that in 2009. The government works with locals and hunters to ensure sustainable hunting, as they seek to preserve the rich wildlife of the nation.
There's a variety of species here you can hunt, but if you have some money you can spend on an experience that is a little more testing, then consider an expedition into an underground jungle where you are able to hunt birds, reptiles, and even elephants.
4) Canada:
The second biggest country on the map, Canada provides hunters beautiful and vast horizons in which to fish and hunt. There's so many various environments here for hunting that any trip to Canada is one you'll not soon forget.
Go to Ontario if you want to hunt waterfowl or deer. Newfoundland is great for grouse, moose, caribou, and hare. The farther north you head in the country, the better and more unique the fishing gets. Upper Quebec and the Yukon are good places for hunting Arctic fox, seal, and even the Beluga whale.
5) Mozambique:
The wilderness here is full of palm forest, swamplands, and thick forests, all of which are ideal for hunting. There has been a lot of heavy poaching that's dwindled the local populations of many species. There is however a revival in the local hunting industry, as the government is working hard with local residents to ensure sustainable hunting.
Popular trophies you might get on your Mozambique hunting expedition include elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, and lion. Unusual game trophies you might hope for include crocodile, eland, nyala, chobe bushbuck, and kudu.
6) Tanzania:
Many call this nation the hunting paradise of Africa and consider it a penultimate hunting destination for its many game reserves and national parks.
The biggest hunting ground in the nation is also the planet's largest dedicated hunting space, the Selous Game Reserve. In addition to buffalo and lion, there are exotic species like gerenuk, lesser kunduk, and sitatunga. For more game variety and less other hunters, head to lesser known reserves such as Ugalla, Mounduli Mountains, Mkomazi Game Reserve for Rhinos, and Gombe Stream National Park.
