What do you do with mosquitoes?

Wild pigs , snow geese, or really any invasive species. Would I shoot them given the opportunity? Yes but I don't dream about it or go out of my way to make it happen. There's just something about them being unwanted or pesky that makes them unappealing to me.

Africa, zero interest.
A good friend of mine has been there four times. I could get a killer deal to be involved. Just not interested. mtmuley
Oh you guys know what I’m talking about

Did you not grow up shooting gophers, woodchuck, starlings ? Pretty much anything that could walk or fly?

I was infected by "Green Hills of Africa" in college, so always had the urge, even bought the .375 H&H Model 70, but when we had the time and money, too much unrest. Couldn't put my wife at risk.
Friend of mine recently returned, shot a 14' croc, among other things, and as they eat native women doing laundry or getting water from the river, guess I'm OK with that.
And, in another life, snapping turtles were great deep fried. Catch a few, call the neighbors, everybody brought something. My Italian buddies always brought a little Dago red. Dads were made guys. Never affected us. We just hunted ducks together.

I kill rats, mice, starlings, ground squirrels, mosquitos, ants, squash bugs, and a host of other pests but I don't do it because I like doing it. I do it because I feel there is a need to do it. If there were no need, I wouldn't kill them, and I certainly wouldn't have killing them on any kind of bucket list. I sure hope the people who don't seem to know the difference between recreational hunting and killing an animal that is creating a problem, are joking or just trying to get a rise out of TOGIE.

My brother is really into the idea of shooting pigs with an AR-15 out of a helicopter and I could do without that.

Wouldn't consider it hunting necessarily but I think it would be a blast.

Never had a desire to hunt an elephant. However, I was recently in a trophy room with an African bull on one wall at the same height he would have been in real life. It commanded the room and was really impressive. I still will not hunt one but I have zero issue with those who legally do.

How can you shoot sows and piglets like that?! Easy, just don’t lead ‘em as much.

Wild hogs are about the only thing that comes to mind. I’ve killed turkeys but they don’t do anything for me. Other than that, I just love to hunt so pretty much anything is fair game.

Elephant hunting is my favorite. It is crazy, exciting and difficult.
I've never felt so small as I did on one knee in the jess bush 12 yards from an elephant with a .375 in my hand. I felt like I may as well have had a sling shot.
Not for everyone, but the hunting highlight of my life.

I have a pile of critters that I have zero desire to pursue. Any animal that requires paying an outfitter, trespass fee or requires a guide to lead me around would be a real NO-GO!

No interest in hunting a zebra or a giraffe.

Interesting thread, The one thing that I have never been interested in is Grizzly. Maybe if they had horns?
