Just one more hunt in the Grayling,Mi area for deer will suit me just fine.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

to me that means Prince Of Wales island in the torres strait between queensland and papau new guinea. there are molluccan rusa deer there. have always wanted to hunt there.

2012- hunt tahr and chamios again. maybe cape york or backpacking for water buff.

2013- tahr and chamios

2014- you guessed it....tahr and chamios.

would love to hunt north america and canada properly. elk, mule deer, sheep and mtn. goat perhaps i could swap a hunt....

Most of us US guys are referring to Prince of Wales island in Alaska.

2011 - Alligator in Florida and Shiras moose in Wyoming with Holchin!

2012 - Black bear in Quebec for my daughter. We sure hope she can finally close the deal!

Dream hunt is brown bear in Alaska!

Australia for Asiatic water buffalo would be awesome and I'd like to try for a muskox someday.

My wish is going to OZ, chasing hogs, feral cattle, and buff.

I am blessed to be able to have hunts a lot of folks dream of every year, but i still want one more crack at a fall grizzly with my longbow.
I should be drawn again for that tag by 2013...hopefully...maybe...

Any hunt for animals I love to hunt coupled with sharing it with a good friend is my "Dream hunt".

That said, this year I drew a Utah LE elk tag and will having a "dream hunt" with a good friend. He wants to call and share the hunt with me. Really looking forward to this time in beautiful country pursuing the majestic wapiti.

Beyond that would be hunting for muleys, blacktails, sikta blacktails, mt. goats, bighorn sheep, stags of New Zealand. Some I may be able to do, some I will never do. Restrictions are time, draw odds, money. But that's ok. I am so blessed to have had the hunts I've had, will have and may have.

Spot and stalk cape buffalo and kudu hunt in Africa.

An early season Saskatchewan duck and goose hunt would be awesome.  

The waterfowl will likely happen long before the Afrian trip.

Looking forward to completing my electrical apprenticeship in 2013, so after that is done will be going for Tahr in NZ (an obsession), and the dream is Ibex in New Mexico.
Until then will bide my time with the local Fallow and Sambar deer.

My first hunt would be my dream hunt!!!!!

It will be in the South African bushveld though, probably for Impala or Warthog, and then eventually Kudu, so I guess I'm extremely lucky!

I would love to chase hogs in the States and hogs and goats in Australia to.

Fall 2011; Helping my daughter get her 1st deer.

Nothing big in 2012 as I will have grad/doc classes and home repairs to save for dollar-wise. Have to increase my professional value so my wife can quit working!

I'm hoping 2013 puts me either back at Bearquest or out west hunting elk. I may be fully engaged in more classes though.....

I don't know that anyone that hasn't been on a dream hunt can appreciate the impact or gravity of the hunt.

Only after having been on a dream hunt at BQ5 did I realize the impact it had on me and my life.

There were some very emotional moments that I will always have for myself. While I shared nearly every detail and thought
I had, there were some things about it that will always remain personal and unsaid. They are moments that every hunter should experience for themself. No one can tell you how to feel when you realize a dream......
