Spent a day with family members yesterday. Through the course of the visit my mother went round the room asking for everyone's "Bucket list". To no surprise of the others in the room,mine was hunting based. For me it's pretty simple. Moose! The Alaskan / Youkon variety. What should have happened before this has been moved to bucket list status. Life,living,raising kids,and now college. So,now my brass ring is a full blown Alaskan moose hunt.
So,anyone else harboring a dream hunt on the old "Bucket list"?

Mine was a Dall Sheep hunt. Our youngest graduated college and I finally went last year. Which was a good thing because this year my bum ankle might not have been up to it.
Don't delay!

Doing mine( God willing) in about a month. Solo backpack hunting trip for mule deer. In a few years my bucket list will be the same trip with both my boys who will be old enough to go then.

Did Dall sheep in the Yukon in 2013 at age 59. Going back next year for moose. Other thoughts? Deer on Kodiak, moose on Newfoundland, muskox in Greenland.

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.

Desert bighorn. We are finally getting enough here in NM that the odds of drawing a tag have become somewhat better.

Alaska, Yukon Moose.
Still need that Osceola to round out my turkey Grand Slam too.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I want to own a piece ground so my kids never have to ask anyone to deer hunt. It's getting very close to reality....

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Probably Grizzly.. Been to Africa, have a dall and a bighorn.. Mostly I guess to enjoy the hunts and fishing trips I can make around the lower 48..
Really want to do more bird hunting with my dogs, and camping with my wife..

Some cool stuff fellas. My daughter has Africa on her to do list as soon as she crosses the college hurdle. Said she was taking me along. She is a good girl. Smart,committed,self starter. I have no doubt she will pull it off.
I cod get right into a big bear hunt. There is no way I can swing both griz and moose. Not on my earnings at my age,lol. So, it's moose for me.

Just one more chance to hunt deer with my dad, may he Rest In Peace. I miss him so much. All else is just fluff.
