I'm in the process of thinning out a lot of my bows that I wanted to try, but see no reason to keep.  I might consider swapping my 66" Sparrowhawk for a 68" 2-piece (just to be extreme).

I've got a Lost Creek Life Ender on order to go with my 62" Judge.

I would really like to order a Hill Country Cree or Shrew Lil Favorite to cover the "mini" end of things.

Went to Africa with my 2 sons and used a .375 H&H for everything. Would like to go back for a very  select Impala with a bow.

Pretty much have my bows where I want them with the recent addition of the Fox High Sierra Takedown, I'm concentrating on the hunting trips I'd like to go on before I take the BigDirtNap. I'd like to hunt elk and I'd like the take a good Grizz with my bow. I've got a better than average opportunity to take a quality black bear this year and a nice whitetail with Trad gear, both of those are doable right here at home I think.

I'm fortunate enough to have lots of quality bows...would still like a few more though.

I'm heading to Mozambique in less than a month for a free range Cape Buffalo hunt-that has been on my list for some time;I'm not getting any younger so I figured I better go now while I can still handle the poundage and the rigors of a true safari spike camp hunt. I've been to S. Africa a couple of times (it was great) but this is a totally different animal...pun intended.
 
I'd really like a moose hunt in the Yukon and hope to do that in the next year or two.
 
I hunt in Alberta every year for the past 6 seasons and still don't have a monster white tail to show for it, this year would be nice!

I'd like to get a really good hunting/blood trailing dog one of these days.  

I'd like to meet more of the tradgang folks who I read about here.
Live every day like its your last, one day you'll be right.

No bow I want more than the ones I already have.  Tall Tines Rock!!!!

Sittin in a woodlot in prime Whitetail habitat with Uncle Barry would be kinda cool.  And I'm still working on getting Bjorn to join me on an Alaska Moose Hunt.

The topic doesn't make me think of owning a bow.  I want to successfully hunt elk, caribou, and moose, including hunting Alaska and Africa.  Just hunting out West would about do it for now.

My dream bow is a 64" one piece recurve made by Dan Toelke(so far he has not produced such a thing), though I wouldn't say no to a recurve of the same length made by Kirk of Bigfoot Bows.

Dream hunt? Bighorn sheep here in Montana...

1. SW Colorado bugling/rutting elk with T Bar M  
2. Newfoundland or Yukon bull moose.
3. Africa for Kudu and a warthog.


Hopefully elk in 5 years and Moose 5 years after that. Africa is likely just a dream....

I would really like to have a Kanati and a Hill style long bow someday.

For dream hunts I would like to go to the western US and hunt elk up in the mountains.  Wall tent, open camp fire, the whole bit.  I hunted WY for pronghorn (not a trad trip) and really fell in love with the land scape.  My first choice is definitely white tails, but you can't beat spot and stalk or camp food!

A Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet for 20 bucks at a garage sale, only way I'd be able to afford a functioning one.

My old Black Widow is my dream bow but the dream hunt would be spot and stalk only in Africa (going in June) for:
Kudu
Waterbuck
OK spot and stalk for any animal in Africa, lol. I have tried it a couple of times and the animals over there made me feel like I had huge clown feet.
