In the United States, there is no shortage of land fertile with animals just waiting to satisfy all of your hunting needs. But if you’re looking for a different, one-of-a-kind experience, here are six places that are off the beaten track.
South Florida
With the prospect of hunting, most people think of forests or open plains with animals such as deer and elk. Most would never think of the Everglades swamps. Here you can find a truly unique hunting experience with the alligator hunts that are available year-round. Anyone looking for a different type of game will be able to journey through the wetlands of Florida to find these prehistoric predators.
Alaska
For another animal that most hunters have probably never hunted, the gray wolf is a rare find. In most of the fifty states, it is still considered to be an endangered species, but in the state of Alaska, hunters can have the chance of hunting this game. Compared to stalking the average whitetail or waiting for quail to fly by, giving chase to a gray wolf is sure to be an encounter, unlike any other.
San Antonio, Texas
A variety of exotic animals that even the most experienced are unaware of can be found in the States. In San Antonio, Texas, there is a rare animal known as a Markhor, a type of exotic wild goat, which is typically found in Afghanistan. If you’re looking to hunt this fascinating beast but aren’t looking to fly to the Middle East, Texas offers year-round hunting. The Markhor has no seasonal restrictions, making it suitable to hunt any time of the year.
Idaho County, Idaho
If an adrenaline-fueled adventure is more of what you seek, then Idaho County has an exciting prospect. Idaho County is home to several predators but, most notably, mountain lions. The harsh weather conditions can make access to the area quite challenging. Snowmobiles are required to navigate through the snowy roads of Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, but the harsh terrain will add to the hunt.
Montana
Another game hunt that is sure to get your blood pumping will be found in northwest Montana, where black bear hunting has a high success rate. In areas like The Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park, the chance of coming across a black bear has been reported to be over 95%. The spring black bear season will last about a month starting in April until the end of May.
New Mexico
In the rocky terrain of New Mexico, an animal called the West Caucasian Tur can be found. This exotic goat-antelope can be seen roaming the Caucasian Mountains and is a rare animal that can typically only be hunted by stalking them on horseback. This expedition will allow any hunter to have a nice change of pace to average hunt.
