What's your Trad. bow bucket list?

[Hoyt]

I got some unfinished business I'd like to tend to with a couple of awfully big whitetails where I hunt behind my place.

Far as bows go, I've been looking hard at a PTF-X Black Widow Recurve. I'll get a lot better look in 8 to 10 wks.

I have owned over 100 different Traditional bows(meaning makers) and some of those as many as 4 or 5 of them. I have had all the  so called big names, like Robertson, Widows, Blacktails, Schaffers. The only one I wish I had back was a Blacktail I owned about 6 years ago. Shawn

Hey all,

I like threads like these, it gives me an idea of how close I am to what others like and desire too.  I posted my Bucket List of BOWS earlier, I didn't know hunts were supposed to be added too.  I'll add my list of Bucket List HUNTS too.

1.  Guided Elk hunt.  Numbers don't matter, just a great hunt with good ramblings around the fire each night.
2.  Guided Moose Hunt in the YUKON using boats if necessary.
3.  Guided Brown or Grizzly Hunt using Horses to get way back in amongst 'em.....
4.  Aussie PIGS and Buff for about 2 weeks.
5.  Any REAL TROPHY HOG or Russian Wild Boar hunt in a foreign land.  I'm talking about REAL BIG HOGS.  I'd love to chase those monsters...wherever they are.

The following are on my BUCKET LIST and have been for a long time, but since my draw weight isn't very high, the law would mandate me using a Rifle. That shouldn't get my key to the Trad Gang Executive Lavatory taken away should it?

6.  Cape Buffalo in Botswana using either a fine English Double Rifle or a fine Bolt Gun with a Mauser Action.

7.  BULL Elephant, both Tuskless and Tusker with Jeff Rann or Ivan Carter.  Of course a Classic Double Rifle would be on my shoulder.

That's about all for my DREAM hunts.  Oh wait a second, I forgot the one I think about all the time.  Since I am now a TEXAN, I may get to pull this one off someday.

I would love to find a private hunting location where me and a guide could go out on Horseback each day and hunt pigs.  It may not be practical and to some it might even sound goofy, but I have always wanted to hunt pigs in Texas and Elk in Colorado or other Elk location using horses.  I think it would be a great time to get up each morning and figure out where to go and head off on horseback to start the hunt.  Then do the same the next day for about 10 days.  That would just be awesome.


Thanks

I as pretty much set bow wise but an elk hunt a year from this fall with my son when he finishes his PHD is the one I am looking forward to.

For a guided elk hunt I would highly recommend the Chef Outfitters out of Ronan MT.  This was my first guided hunt.  Mick and Karen run a first class hunting and guest ranch.  The have about 100 horses and at least that many pack mules.  We packed in some 30 miles into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to their camp,  Being a wilderness area there are no machines allowed.  The had a number of canvas sleep tents and a cook tent.  The cook was there all season.  The guides would go out early in the AM to get our horsed and saddle them up.  They would then start afire in our wood stove and we made our way to the mess ten where a hot breakfast was waiting along with a pack lunch. Full dinners were provided with a nice homemade pie or the like for desert.  All of this done on  propane oven and cookstove that had to be packed in and out at the end of the season along with the rest of their camp.  An amazing production.
 We had 2 hunters to one guide and each day was an adventure.  Hunting with rifles we took 2 elk and a deer for the 6 of us on an off year for them.  It was hard hunting but they made the experience one to remember.  We saw a number of bears both black and grizzly.  I passed on a nice whitetail buck and took a cow elk at the end of the hunt.  We flew home with a freezer of meat and memories to last a lifetime.

After a year overseas on tour, I plan to hunt 5 of the big game species in my province this year on return.

Top of my list would be to get drawn for one of the very few bighorn sheep tags that are given out each year in my home state of North Dakota; then elk, then moose.

I am satisfied with my bows for the most part. I am interested in getting a three piece pronghorn just in case I ever am able to fly somewhere to hunt. Kind of a longshot, tho.

[twitchstick]

To make and hunt with a sinew backed juniper bow and an osage selfbow someday. Always wanted to try a Mowhawk and Thunderchild and to get back a 60" one piece pronghorn I owned once.
Bucket list for animals is pretty long but number one on my list(don't laugh) is a whitetail deer.
