Bucket List Hunts

I have two hunts left on my bucket list that think I'm in or can get into shape to make it doable..

One is one last Black Bear hunt and the other is a Moose hunt and I think the Moose should be the first I attempt as I'm not getting younger and tromping through swampy brush ain't for old folks..

I want to keep it in the lower 48 if possible because I want to drive from Texas and be able to bring back the meat.. I wouldn't mind a bull but I'd be happy with a cow as it is the wilderness experience as much as the meat I'm after with this hunt. I wouldn't have the antlers mounted anyway.. No place to hang them and limited funds so I rather spend the money on the hunt than on a trophy that would end up in a corner of the garage and sold or given away when I'm dead..

What say y'all... where should I start looking... this would be for the 2012 season..

I'd probably start looking at trying to get a cow shiras moose tag in one of the western states.  I'd look at Wyoming first.  Great chance to draw a cow tag.  Good luck!

Antelope, elk and hogs.

Over&under you're welcome to come hunt whitetails with me any time.

We are blessed with a lot of great public ground that has a fairly good herd of whitetails plus an abundance of turkey and squirrel.

The road to "Sherwood" makes for an awesome journey.

Been on a hog, Elk, mid west deer, and a Bear hunt in Canada........haven't scored on any and would do any one of them again. Heck I'd be happy to get a deer or bear right at home. I guess every time I go in the woods it's like a bucket list hunt!!   :dunno:   I would try to find the easiest moose tag to get and start from there.

Take my son on another couple of Elk Hunts-maybe Moose-whatever we can draw tags for.

So far I'm thinking Maine might be my best shot..

Maine is a great place to hunt either--moose tags are near impossible to come by, but bear hunting doesn't get any better than with Eldon Jandreau at Hunters Point Guide Service in Portage.  He is a terrific guy and hunts strictly with a longbow and loves having trad guys up to hunt. He also has a phenomenal success rate on moose IF you can get a tag.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Would like to try to call in a brown bear and try for some wolfs. Mt lion also. No dogs just hand calls.

Moose is top of the list for me. Always wanted to hunt water buffalo in Australia, but don't see that happening the way things are going.
