Guess I should add what is still on my list: Alaskan Moose again (next fall), Alaskan  Brow Bear again (in 2 1/2 years), Mountain Goat again (should be getting close to drawing with 12 preference points next year   :pray:   ).   In case you are wondering, all of my hunts are self guided, self planned, and I'm lucky enough to have a brother living in Alaska so I don't need to hire a guide for brown bear.

Notice, the dates are set, and the DATES DO NOT CHANGE.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I’ve enjoyed reading about y’all bucket lists and all the advice on how I should plan and save…. But all I asked was…

One is one last Black Bear hunt and the other is a Moose hunt and I think the Moose should be the first I attempt as I'm not getting younger and tromping through swampy brush ain't for old folks..

I want to keep it in the lower 48 if possible because I want to drive from Texas and be able to bring back the meat.. I wouldn't mind a bull but I'd be happy with a cow as it is the wilderness experience as much as the meat I'm after with this hunt. I wouldn't have the antlers mounted anyway.. No place to hang them and limited funds so I rather spend the money on the hunt than on a trophy that would end up in a corner of the garage and sold or given away when I'm dead..

What say y'all... where should I start looking... this would be for the 2012 season..
My time for saving and planning is pretty much over because of my age and medical issues. I would like to do these last two hunts while I still can… if I can’t I’ll take the pleasures and memories of all the hunts I have done… drop camps, backpack hunts, horseback and campfires shared with close friends and strangers who became friends before the fires died out…  happily to my grave..

Thanks...

Javi, if I were you, I would start a new thread entitled, "How can I make this Happen?"

Your original text would then stand clear in its intent.
  "I have two hunts left on my bucket list that think I'm in or can get into shape to make it doable..  One is one last Black Bear hunt and the other is a Moose hunt and I think the Moose should be the first I attempt as I'm not getting younger and tromping through swampy brush ain't for old folks..  I want to keep it in the lower 48 if possible because I want to drive from Texas and be able to bring back the meat..

Everybody saw "bucket list" and started fantasizing. BTW, I am rooting for you, and paying attention to the answers. Moose sounds mighty good to me!   :bigsmyl:
