Share Your Hunt of Dreams
« on: January 15, 2015, 09:30:00 AM »
Experienced a most personally consummate and enthralling hunt that had virtually isolated my desire for seven years which rose to fruition in 2014; and even exceeded my already inflated dream. I am both most thankful and grateful. Time marches on as I now seem to be aimlessly wandering without a hunter’s dream.  The anticipation, planning, envisioning and anticipation must be rekindled.

My only dream remains the same as I long to return to New Zealand. Perhaps I should consider this venture once again as now this desire is being suppressed. Suppression is not the best option since redirection and refocus would be most effectual. Actual practicality has made suppression in this instance endurable.

A  different, practical and passion inspired endeavor would be treasure in and of itself.

Please submit your dream hunt and provide some insight as to the personal particulars that have both fed and captivated your desires.

A weekend in the country with my wife and scotties... A couple inches of fresh snow in heavy cover and me ready for a nice fat doe, broadside at eight yards... Simple  :dunno:

I'd like to take a truly mature (5.5 + Years) Whitetail on a DIY basis here is Oklahoma. Limiting out with a Recurve has always been a dream of mine which I accomplished this year!
Experiencing special hunting moments with the friends and family I love will be the most important thing on my list from now on.

I long to return to Alaska for another DIY caribou hunt before I get too old.
My dream hunt would be a trip to Africa or Australia to do about a six week walkabout with tradtusker (Andy Ivy) hunting pigs and scrubbulls.

Lots of dreams, some are actually very doable and I just haven't done them yet.  I have long dreamed of going on a Mt goat hunt with longbow.  That will likely never happen.  

Being in the mountains, way up there, overlooking the world, and sneaking toward such a beautiful monarch of the peaks, with naught but a stick and string, meaning I either win (get VERY close) or he wins.  

Kill or no kill, it would be worth it if I was able to get close enough for increased heartbeat and the inner thrill of having truly hunted.

However, on the up side, lots of other hunts will happen.

I am already living a small part of my dream by living in Montana, and getting to hunt a variety of animals.

My true dream is to take the Super Slam with my recurve, or at the very least the Super Ten (one subspecies of all the different NA big game animals)

I'd love to hunt Moose in Alaska, Elk in Colorado, and Bighorn in Montana.

I'd settle for any one of those just once in my life    :bigsmyl:

New Zealand, red stag and fair chase. I just think they are such a cool animal, their sound, their look the country they call home. I hope someday it will happen but i think I could settle for a mature whitetail buck from the ground.

My dream hunt would be to share a hunt with my father. He never hunted and he passed back in 2001 when I was 24.
 But I would love to go chase Elk on the Rockies
I love Bow Hunting

Mule deer and antelope in Wyoming-simple man,simple needs.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
