Do you have a bucket list?????
« on: November 26, 2010, 09:46:00 PM »
I'm not sure if this has been on here before,most likely it has. But, Is there a bow hunt you would like to do or a bow you would like to try or own. Perhaps a special game animal you would like to hunt before you can't because of age or money. I want to hunt out west at some point,deer or elk. I'm going to hunt pigs in January......I also would like to kill a deer here in New York......what do want or wish to do?

Heck if you want to come to one of our Michigan Bow Hunters rabbit hunts, you can join me just let me know.  We have them all winter long, they should be posted on their site.  If it's not, it will soon be.  It's always a great time, and every now and then someone will actually connect on one of the rabbits that overtake our woods during this time of year.

Mine is, I think, pretty modest.   I would like, just once, to get into some real good bowfishing... carp, buffalo, whatever.   A small (repeat, small!) alligator gar for the wall would be truly outstanding.   A hog hunt would be super, as well.  Going on my first bow hunt at all was my big one a year ago, and I did that, getting a javie down in Texas.  Australia would be incredible, but I doubt I'm up to the trip, let alone their strenuous hunts.

1.)  I'd love to go on a Mule Deer / Pronghorn combo hunt in Wyoming...

2.)  Moose in AK...

3.)  Although I've chased Elk several times, I'd like to chase them again in NM, or AZ...

4.)  I'd like to take one spring and travel everywhere required to get the Trad/Slam of Turkeys (Rio/Merriam/Eastern/Oseola)...

That would be good for starters...  As my "Bucket List" would also need help carrying...

As for my bucket list...I want to try hunting everything I possibly can that is legal.  I would love to hunt southern hogs, a bison, moose, elk on horseback, any of the exotics running around Texas man, the list just goes on and on.

In case you couldn't tell, my number one is a Zebra. I'd love to sink a shaft to the feathers, right behind the shoulder.

Also, a really large A-Y Moose.

That's not too much to ask is it?

Dick we have some pretty darn good bowfishing here in Missouri and anytime you want to show up here during our season you'd be more than welcome.

We have some of all of the fish you mentioned and at least one that you overlooked.

Those high flying rascal big heads.(They taste a lot like Walleye- no kidding)

I can't say I've actually started a bucket list but if I do then hogs and antelope will be on it.

God bless,Mudd

At 65 I'm too young to be doing that list for a few years..........Elk hunting with my son in the Cache Valley UT will have to suffice.
