Idaho Brad? Why not one right here in good ole Wyo?

What I want for 2012 is to kill a bull elk tomorrow or Monday. My 2011 tag is still good, and it is a tough one to draw. I can't say I didn't have any chances though.

I want to take my two boys (14 and 8) bear hunting more than anything. We will go, I just hope we SEE bears. Maine hunt, so no easy task just to see 'em. I want to REALLY hammer the spark of trad hunting home.

My wife dont know this yet. After I tell her I might not have one LOL! But I want to spend the whole month of September in the back country for elk. It still would be cheaper than going to Alaska moose hunting! The day I get out all I do is dream about is next September with a bunch of screamin bulls!

This is for my wife, Laura...I hope she gets the buck she wants...worthy of mounting....8 points or better...over 180 lbs....short blood trail. She also has yet to kill a turkey. It would be a good year if she reached these goals.

For me it'd be a whitetail...I know it doesn't seem to be asking a whole lot, but...for me it seems that they are my "white whale".  I have been fortunate enough to connect on elk, muleys, turkeys, bear...but can't seem to put it together on whitetail...and we are surrrounded by them up here in N. Idaho.

A big, honkin', brown bear.  Like this one.  The big ones, their heads look like a pimple relative to their body.  He's in 3-4 feet of water.

Seeing a photo of Paul Shafer holding a huge mountain lion in his arms has haunted me for YEARS!

That picture always remains in my mind.
I would love to and intend to one day hunt mountain lion with a recurve. Thats my bowhunting wish for 2012. I hope I could do it.Happy New Year everybody!
