Elephants, on foot, up close, in the bush. In all seriousness, I would forgo all other hunting if I could do that for two weeks a year until my death!
Not even close, but second place is calling wolves in heavy timber!
Not interested in ever shooting another deer/elk.
For big bears up close, don't screw around with a conventional cartridge.
If things go wrong, you could be eaten alive, or worse!
I personally like a 525gr slug at about 2300fps, preferably from a .505 Gibbs or bigger.
Exhibit #1...….

My absolute favorite time to hunt wolves in areas with heavy timber is from opening day on September 15th till the first day of the general season which is sometime around the second or third week of October. Nobody in the woods and the wolves are fairly relaxed. Most importantly you can move...
Love this guy, smart, easy to to watch and excellent production quality.

I'm 60 and solo hunt predators all over the mountains of NW Montana. Last year I added a Zoleo satellite device to my pack. Cheap insurance for $20 a month!
I had read about the black fur gene several years ago. I would love to see what those 10,000 year old "dogs" looked and acted like. Something tells me they were a handful! :)
PS One year anniversary of this one today!
My wolf rug is one of my prize possessions. I also always get a little chuckle when guys comment that it is bigger than some of their bear rugs.
Normally though I just have the hide tanned and hang them by their nose on a nail. I'm working my way down the hallway!

My 7yr old BCA 7.62X39 upper is very accurate and has had zero failures. I trust it 100% and keep it as my "house gun". I have also killed a couple of deer and several wolves with it in the last few years.
I want to see more fact filled scenes. Maybe they could show folks how to hand feed hot dogs to a pack of friendly wolves while they sit around the campfire.
