Cape Buffalo would be cool. That, or a Kangaroo.

Definitely Unicorn. I'd hang the mount next to my jackalope.

Seriously though, Cape buffalo.

With the caveat that the cost we're not including is the restoration of any habitat, species control levels, and so on, I wouldn't mind getting a buffalo robe, and two or three freezers worth of roasts, steaks and burgers.

And in my quest for cape buffalo, I would want to carry some exotic, nearly obsolete double rifle.

Or, if not that not, than a 9.3x62mm on a sporterized mauser.

A Cape buffalo shoulder mount would be a good conversation starter with some of my liberal neighbors

Mammoth! That would be my dream hunt. Unfortunately not much of a chance.

all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

I don't really care to hunt anything truly exotic but I would like to get an American Bison.

Same as Hawg Hadden, I really can't think of an exotic I would like to hunt.
And having eaten bison, would agree as well that putting one of those in the freezer would not be a bad idea.

Agree with above.. None of them "exotic" but challenge enough.

Elk
Moose
Buffalo
