American Bison and caribou. Bison. Good call.

Now that my son is launched and I'm making a little more money, I want to make the classic North American hunts that I haven't already done. They include
Roosevelt’s elk (leaving for this one in a couple of months)
Rocky Mountain elk
Black bear
Mule deer
Pronghorn antelope
Aoudad
Desert sheep
Alaska: moose, brown bear, caribou, wolf
Alligator
Turkey
Once I get through this, I'll probably sell my big-game rifles and spend the rest of my life hunting cottontails and bullfrogs with a K22.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

Don't die.. Right up there with some other things. At least not until I run out of bucket list things. Could take awhile!

And one more safari for a Sable, Roan and a Gemsbok.

Not a hunt but a life I guess.
Alaska is still and always will be my white whale.
I want to live in AK and spend my time hunting and fishing as I please. Maybe a trap line of some sort. Same here, A life. Desert southwest, Lion hunting on horseback with hounds. I could do that and only that for the rest of my life and die happy and complete

A plains game African Safari that includes a greater kudu. That's something I fully intend on doing some day.
A Cape buffalo hunt would be the ultimate bucket list hunt, but the price of that makes it quite unlikely that'll ever happen.
Only a fool would sell an accurate .30-06

Possibly attainable: Caribou, and another moose.
Likely unattainable: any of the north American sheep, mountain goats, brown bear.
Pipe dream: Marco Polo, Asian ibex
possible reality: having my kids take to it and want to hunt and fish with me.

Looking at the lists makes me feel pretty good about how many hunts I have gotten to do...
I will gladly "settle" for hunting with Riley for anything, or my daughter-in-law, or my granddaughter.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I've actually done most of my bucket list stuff. Theres still a few obvious gaps gaps like lion and polar bear, and more oddball things like walrus. I've sort of gravitated toward population control hunts and culls.
I've done my share of Africa, Australia and both Americas, and should at least show up in Europe for something. That seems like a box worth checking off. Also completing the worlds bovines. And long range culling in New Zealand.
I guess theres a few left.
Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
