I've always wanted a Roosevelt Elk.  Now I think any elk would do.  :notworthy:

Asiatic Buffalo in Australia, Yukon Moose, Hogs down under, any hunt someone else wants to pay for...lol

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I really want to go on an elk hunt with my dad, he is not a traditional guy, but i think we could let that slide, I would be hunting with my recurve.  

Hope to get at it pretty soon, cause im not getting any younger, and neither is my dad. We may get to go bear hunting in the spring, which would be awesome also, because neither of use have ever killed any other big game other than a whitetail deer.

I think that Idaho and Wyoming would be a great start for the moose tag,they both have good odds. Idaho is a easy one for a black bear tag.
I view my bucket list like I do good art, Good art is never finished but is always a work in progress.

Bucket list hunts:

1- Mule deer
2- Caribou
3- Mtn Lion (with dogs cause I'm an old coon hunter)
4- Black Bear

Now trophies are as follows:

Really nice whitetail, mule deer, bear are priorities.

The thing about a bucket list is that unless you set a date, establish a budget, start planning the details, and commit to doing it, hunts on the list never get checked off the list: They do not just happen!

My advise of to quit wishing that your dream hunt will happen and MAKE IT HAPPEN.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Do them now while you’re young and in good health because if you wait until you can afford them; odds are you won’t be able to make the hunt physically..

Even though I’ve killed my share and more of animals across the country I will go to my grave regretting the decision to wait on Alaskan Brown Bear, Dall Ram, Moose and Caribou. When I was much younger and able to physically do the hunts I thought I had plenty of time…. Well time caught up and I will never do those hunts..

Walt is "on the money" with his coment. Make your plan and start saving.  It may be 5 years before you can make it happen but that time will come.  Get your preference points in (if needed) do your research then work your plan.

My top two are cape buffalo and moose.  I plan on both in the next 5 years....moose next year!

Let me know when you might want to try that moose hunt and if you want a pardner. I think I would like to hunt  one of those too.
