Depending on whether what your heart desires agrees with what you pocketbook can afford. You can hunt anyof the hardhorned animals year round. This includes all of the African species (sable, waterbuck, kudu, eland, etc.), bovine species (river buffalo, water buffalo, American buffalo, watsu cattle, etc.), all of the sheep and goat family (Corcicans, Mouflon, Catalina goats, Black Hawaiians, marhkor, etc.), several of the Asian families (blackbuck, nilgai, etc) and feral hogs. However, the only member of the deer species that will be hardhorned and thus huntable during the summer months will be the axis deer. Research the outfitter offerings on the internet and ask a lot of questions, just as you would in preparing for any other big game hunt. Don't be lured by claims of record book sized animals unless you are into putting your name in record books. Be more concerned with the quality of the animals you will be hunting rather than the quanitity, i.e. study your chosen species well enough to be able to judge their trophy quality on the hoof, do not take a guides word for it, rather use his statements as a guideline. Also make sure the hunting method is one you are comfortable with, don't show up expecting to hunt out of a vehicle and then have a bad hunting experience because you find out you have to hike up and down some pretty stiff hills. Make sure the lodging and meal arrangements are to your liking and ask about all costs involved, i.e. kiil fee, lodgiing, guide fees, cleaning fees, cold storage fees, transportation feesm etc. If you do your homework up front your should have an enjoyable trip and should be able to harvest the animal of your dreams.
