I think I'd go for the king (T-Rex) with my trusty Ol' Bushmaster 25mm chaingun. I wouldn't use HE though, I'd go with the AP stuff to keep it sporting. And I darn sure wouldn't go on some namby pamby canned hunt!

I think i would set up a decoy spread of teradactyls and try to call a flock in... I dont think they require a plug for that bird.

Straffing runs with a P-51.

Oh and bring on those pterodactyls for air to air.

If we're going to have a fantasy, I'm going to (1) be able to fly the thing, and (2) bring the fighter and a LOT of gas and oil, and a ground crew with me.

Barney is a great suggestion. Would make a perfect target for my Daisy Red Ryder and look great mounted over the fireplace.

My wife had authorized a "trophy bull" buffalo hunt, until she saw the size of a "trophy bull buffalo" head on the wall at the local gun store. Somehow I think she'd be really upset if I tell her: "please clear the living room for the triceratops head".

Think what you could do with all that ivory.

Actually, you wouldn't use decoys, bait would be more appropriate. "Johnny, stand over there with fluffy. That's good, make him bark a little."

The biggest meanest s.o.b. that ever walked the earth. I was in the Army so these are probably ancient now, but I figure the vulcan, mini, or a 90mm with a few differnt style rounds for it.

Saber tooth tiger would make a good mount.

Hate to have to rent a skid loader to field dress one of the big dino's.

Waterfouler I am a yopper, and know that rifle, shotgun combo very good, and not a bad choice.

Barney would be the safest one to hunt. I don't think he can outrun me and can't climb a tree like I can. I also think it would be difficult for him to handle a firearm with that silly suit on. Still, he would not be my first choice.

I wouldn't hunt cave women either. Too hairy and there's an unwritten rule about never get a woman who is hairier than yourself.

Ah Jeez, William, if you want to consider critters that existed in mans' age dinasaurs, then you might consider Nancy Pelosi--if you don't mind going out of state. You could use a tranquilizer dart and send us some nice pics.
