hog hunt
deer hunt
maybe a :pray: new knee
Just once shoot 100% at 3D round
Fit back into my 32" jeans
AND..ride the tires off my motorcycle.
Yep, a new knee for me as well. Looks like I may have to start with that.
Then caribou, perhaps.
Spot and stalk black bear in Alaska
Would like to do another Alaska moose hunt
Mule deer. Seems I always hunt elk when I go out West. Want to continue that, too, of course.
Continue my annual deer hunting.
Maybe a hog/javie hunt someplace warm come next March.
Great movie, hit close to home considering both my grandpa's died of cancer.
I'm single and not 30 yet so there are a few of the typical things I'd like to accomplish. But when it comes to archery:
Place high in a big archery shoot for once (that's probably just to help my self-esteem) :rolleyes:
Go gator hunting successfully mmmmmmmmmm gator
Buffalo hunting looks like a blast (from the back up)
Build my own horn and sinew asiatic composite
Hunt on horseback with said Asiatic composite bow
That's about all I can think of
I really would like to kill a bear.
But most of all I would like to help my Grandson on his first bloodtrail.. He`s 3 now.RC
Alaska moose someday, caribou someday, I agree with Jerry (Orion) that I always seem to get an elk tag and no mule deer tag for "out west", and Jerry, maybe keep me in mind if you need a Texas partner. I am getting a bit sick of work and I would like to go again.

I remember reading Outdoor Life and Sports Afield in the high school library when I should have been studying. Dreaming the days away reading about shooting elk with 338 mags and 300 mags. Used to dream about that and think that would be the ultimate....
Now all I dream about is painting my face black and slipping around in the black timber and getting up close and personal with Mr. Elk ! Would love to shoot a good 5X5 or 6X6 at less than 10yds right after he bugled in my face coming to a cow call.
Need to get more into self bows, cane arrows, and flint knapping. Would love to kill some whitetails like that too. Oh did I mention a trip to Shrewhaven Lodge and trip thru Ron's archery shop too ???
nocams :readit:

My bucket list is starting to focus less on the what and where and more on the "who" that I would like to hunt with. There are a lot of people on this site that I would love to hunt with. Fortunately, I will get to hunt with several of them this fall/winter in Georgia and Texas.
My list is not as long as I figured.
1. See my youngest daughter finally get rid of the low life, deadbeat she's wasted the last 2 years with so she and my grandson can have a chance at a decent life.
2. See all three of my kids finally be completely on their own, without dear old dad having to help them out of financial blunders.
3. For my wife and I to finally have a chance to be alone, (we've had kids since we met) 24 years now.
4. 3 weeks in South Africa.
5. 6 weeks in Australia, New Zealand.
With this I could go out happy!
I want to make a clean kill on the bear I have been hunting; and hunting; and hunting.....
that and a new knee.
I hope to be be lucky enough to kill a wild boar (sus scrofa)
I shot one this winter but failed to find it.
I followed the trail of blood for about 30 yards before I lost it in a snow storm.
My #1 right now is a combo Pronghorn/Mulie hunt in Wyoming... been wanting to do that for a number of years. Need to put it together and get it done at some point. I think it would be a blast!
Get something larger than a coyote with a bow. But coyotes are fun.Have some grand kids.Retire.
To become a PH in Africa.
MOUNTAIN GOAT
I already have the new knee and a new hip. My advice on this is to get the best surgeon you can and tell the doc you want the best possible range of motion when your are done. The recovery from the surgery is miserable, but once the strength comes back it is wonderful.
My bucket list?
1. to continue to get out in the field with good double guns and my bird dogs
2. to continue to spend days with great trout streams and my old fly rods
3. arrows that fly like darts from my old Bear recurves
4. A big buck within 15 yards of me and my recurve each season
5. a good hog hunt
6. a good bear hunt
7. I want my kids, and my wife to be healthy and content
8. a long prosperous retirement (that will take another 10 years of saving)
9. maybe an elk hunt in Colorado
10. to go to my grave completely worn out, leaving my loved ones with great memories of a man who lived life well and with integrity.
Joe

An elk hunt in Colorado with my husband is definitely on my bucket list...
take a caribou; other than that, I've managed to do just about everything I wanted to accomplish!
1. Get to Montana once and shoot a big muley doe.
2. Sit in a lawnchair in KS and watch a thunderstorm pass across the plains.
3. Visit the Little Bighorn
4. Bird hunt in Maine for Woodcock and Grouse once.
5. Catch a 4 pound crappie and get that sucker mounted.
6. Spend Christmas in the Fla Key's with my wife and fish the flats every day for a week. (probably won't ever happen but as Gene Hill said "some things are better wished for than had."
Boy, reading these makes me realize how simple but still unattainable my "dreams" are:
1) Do a TX hunt with CK
or...
2) Bear hunt on a Bear Quest
or...
3) Hunt with Ray on his property
or...
4)Get on a MD lease to arrow nuff deer to keep deer in freezer so not to eat domestic meat
and just
5) Find work that doesn't disappear every 12-15 months
it's not the size of the dream, but the reward that they provide I guess.
Own property to hunt or several pieces.

R.W.
Time
1) Introduce my new daugter to hunting, fishing, and the heritage that is the outdoors
2) Travel around our great country and spend time with friends in their camps.
3) Go someplace I probably shouldn't in hopes of sneaking up on something much larger and mean than I am, hopefully in Alaska and Africa.
Well for me, Good health for everyone, so you can work to attain your goals. I've lost friends and seen alot of health issues, bad backs ,shoulders knees and etc. Just being able to shoot and walk is the first step to alot of these!
And what Noc Dock listed as # 5, Steady work and income! Best to all in attaining your goals, Good shootin, Steve
I just want my custom bow I ordered 21 months ago! 9 months late and counting.................
1. Take an Alaskan Brown Bear with my home made long bow.. without gettin eaten.
2. Hang glide over the Arizona mountains
3. Skydive
4. Retire with no worries..
For a long time I have had the goal to build my own totally primitve hunting set up, and then take a big game animal with it. I'm talk'in, cutting down my own osage tree, splitting staves, processing my own sinew, getting my own turkey feathers, collecting river cane, knapping my own stone points...the whole enchilada from scratch.
I know how to do none of it, so I have a ways to go.
well, I am guessing that HERE is a place with folks that have done, and can teach you to do every piece of that dream.

You know, I've been extremely Lucky to have done a lot of Hunting and Fishing in my 45 years. The only Job i've ever had has been in the Outdoor Industry. I've got a Wonderful, Hard-working Wife who I love very much. A Great son, who is a fine young Man and loves to bowhunt and shoot his Recurve. A beautiful little red headed Daugther who loves her Daddy. We've met and become Friends with a lot of Terrific People on TRAD GANG and thru Traditional Archery. It nearly seems selfish for me to want anything else BUT A few things........
To see my children grow old and to love this Outdoor Lifestyle that has been so good too me.
I would like to continue to be able to share camp with my Son and as many Trad Gang members as possible.
For my Daughter, Chloe' Beth, to have as much fun as Skyler has had, as she's growing up.
AND I hope ALL of everyone's Dreams come true also.....Don
