I have hunts I'd like to do and places I'd like to hunt in, but I don't have a bucket list anymore.  Heck, for the last several years I've been super fortunate to work with BCY and live a string maker's dream!  I've been so fortunate I don't feel like I've missed out on anything at all.

My biggest desire is NOT to kick the bucket! I am just now beginning to have a number of those issues generally associated with getting older, and I am not aging gracefully. Shooting the bow is currently uncomfortable to the point that I couldn't bowhunt this year. I am doing some therapy to regain the ability to pull my bow, so I guess the ability to bowhunt at all goes to the top of my list. Once the ability to shoot is restored, taking a sizeable hog is a priority.

I hear you Sam, getting older has slowed me some but I still try to get out as much as I can. Who ever said these would be the golden years was full of it.........lol. I just wish I could see more deer.

My list changes every year.  But at present it is: Canadian moose (going in 2018); mule deer; RM Elk; and mountain lion.

I'm in my late 50s and in good shape but I doubt I'll complete my list . . . but I aim to live forever or die trying. . .

Wolf. But I would take a deer.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

My bucket is pretty much complete after 53 yrs but the one nemesis is mature bull Elk, not for lack of trying(29 trips) I just can't seem to get it done. A
couple cows but no bulls.

The only thing I can think of on my bucket list is an elephant hunt with a longbow. A clean kill with no firearm back up required.
Hunting is the fun part, once you kill something the work begins

My hunting bucket list is pretty simple....I have young daughters, coach sports teams, not to mention just regular job and life commitments.....I just want to spend a couple weeks in a row up at my cabin in the fall, when everything is in season, hunting deer, turkey, grouse and squirrels.....two weeks straight, nothing but hunting...maybe throw in some fall trout fishing too....That’s all i want.

I'm with Pat on this one.  I still dream but have become a realist in the sense that I know it's probably not going to happen for one reason or another.

Therefore my bucket list consists of becoming a more wise whitetail hunter on public land, that's a realistic goal for me.
