Sorry, but for a 5-year-old we would start taking hunting trips to the local thrift stores. He can enjoy the annual hunt for some good affordable outer clothing, and next spring you can put it on his account to resell it since it will no longer fit. You can then take his earnings and start...
Tuskless elephant, hands down!
Damn, nailed that before even opening the link :)
Here's my first one...
Here's a video link of the shot...
The shot was a frontal brain at 9 1/2yds that obviously put it down instantly. There were 14 elephants in that herd and they initially ran away but...
I made a rug out of a nice black bear, mountain lion and wolf. ALL of the ones since get tanned and I hang them off a peg by their nose. I am slowly working my way down the hall! I also have the skulls done and keep them on a shelf.

I left the house an hour before daylight with...

Remember, it's just recycled elk meat. :)
It sounded like there were probably six or seven in that pack. I just have the hides tanned then hang them by their nose. I'm working my way down a long hallway :). A friend of mine has bugs and we clean and bleach the skulls also.
For wolves I only use hand calls, no electronics. I do ALL wolf howls and other vocalizations by mouth. Practice, practice, practice.
As for areas, anywhere there are no people. Usually at least a mile behind the gate just to get started.
I have had a pretty good season so far. I've found wolves with some regularity but could not close the distance during archery season.
I got on a pack the last week of September and long story short, I shot one at about 35yds and watched it drop. I looked over my shoulder trying to pick up...
Its obvious where it is. Pretty sure that no matter how habituated they are, the bears can still bite. So is your point that he's a trained professional, or an idiot?
