I would like to own a Shafer, TT, and an A&H td longbow. As far as hunts, my bucket list includes: a 6x6 elk, a bull moose, a B&C whitetail, a 180+ mule deer, an antelop, some type of ram, an Alaskan Grizzly, and a caribou   :archer2:

Have the bows I want -- too many.  Have taken turkey, whitetail and mule deer, black bear, elk and a moose. Would like to do a caribou hunt or two, and a hunt for mule deer only. Too old and not  monied enough to chase goats or sheep and wouldn't live long enough to draw a permit anyway.

Got all the bows I want and a few more. Now I just enjoy hunting Elk with my son and our friends-don't need any more than that.   :thumbsup:

I'm pretty well set on bows, but I'm eagerly awaiting a new Blacktail sometime this fall.  I have all the details worked out in my head except I switch from one piece to take down every day...LOL.  I definitely want a one piece "tail, so if I go with a TD for the new bow, I'll sell the TD I have now or a couple of my other bows and get the one piece.  

Bows I'd like to try:
- One piece Silvertip
- Kota Prairie Swift (one piece recurve)


As far as hunting, I would love to go elk hunting in the mountains.  Just like I read about, tents, horses, bugling bulls...maybe someday.

Pretty simple for me at this point in my journey:

Never hunted yet with my bow. I am just recently feeling confident enough in my shooting to consider letting an arrow go for a kill. I am focused on hunting deer here on our land, hopefully this season.

As for bows, I've only owned a few in the 5 or so years I've been shooting, and only last fall got a used Selway 'lil mag; first bow that feels right in my hands, and fits my newly developed "style". I would
love to have a similar bow with just a bit sweeter feel, which fits me perfectly - I daydream about a Big Jim Buff, Toelke Whip Classic, or Kohannah Fury.

I've got all the bows I want but I guess it would be my dream to take the North American Grand Slam with my longbow.

I want to elk hunt in the mountains with my two boys(6 and 4)someday.


A liberty or Mohawk would be my bow pics. Maybe another Longwalker.

I'm not sure I have a bow on my bucket list but I do want an antelope and a sitka stag.

Not many people talk about Sitka deer......

I'd like to hunt and shoot a mountain goat.

I'd like to shoot a Shrew bow, and maybe buy one.
I'd like to get a 66" Black Widow take-down longbow, with a Toby grip, in 58# @ 31".
I'd like to get a tricked-out, custom Acadian Woods Tree Stick.

On my bucket list is to hunt with my new to me Dave Johnson cedar longbow.

Id like to get my 3 year old son turned into a hunting partner for me. I want to help him have the opportunity to love hunting and the outdoors as much as I do.

And if he doesn't, that is alright too.

As for my bucket list; I want to hunt every kind of deer on the planet. Red Deer, Axis deer, etc.

I am hunting European Fallow Deer in a few weeks, so I can chalk that one off soon.

As for bows; I have a Morrison and I love it. It is pretty well my dream longbow.

My recurve is gorgeous as well and shoots as accurately as I could ever dream.

I am going to stick to just these two bows for quite a while....

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
