Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bucket list? Dedicated to Ingwe and pappy!

I'm sure everyone has a bucket list. This is for deer hunting only. Also let us keep it to things that we have some hope of doing. I know everyone here wants a 240BC deer, but that's not what I'm asking. I want a doable list. Let's also keep it to 5 or less. Also let's leave out good health etc.
Based on affordability, mine are;
1. A deer hunt up north. (I think I found it)
2. A decent red stag, free roaming or on a large high fenced ranch
3. A decent low fenced deer lease, with my buddies, in a game managed area.

Did Ingwe die, again ?

And Christ only rose from the dead once...

Yeah..but I was there...and I learned how....

To move to Alaska. Then we'd have sitka blacktails

I doubt I'd shoot a big huge deer anymore... I'd let someone else or let him breed. Culls are another matter though...

I'm 58 and change. My bucket list is short.

1) A moose.
2) A red stag
3) A Kentucky bull elk

This is my bucket list. If we're limited to deer only, it would be 1, 2, and 5.

1. Mullie
2. Elk
3. Speed Goat
4. Some other kind of big ass goat with big ass horns
5. Caribou

i use to want to shoot a bear, black-type. i've about talked myself out of it.

so, to shoot a buck from a ground stand, or stalking, not from 30 feet up a southern yellow pine.

I'd like to get a "Big Buck" patch in Maine (buck over 200#), the same in NH and I'd like to get a buck in Massachusetts with something other than an automobile.

I got A+ whitetail and black bear hunting out my backdoor would like to go west with my boy for mulies or elk some day

Roe deer is number 1 for me...don't know why, but have always wanted one. I am planing to go to England at some point to shoot one.
I'll get a Chinese Water deer too while I am at it.

At home, numbers 3-5 crop up:
Sitka blacktail
Coues Whitetail
Axis-am planning to go to Hawaii next year for this one.

I am pretty lucky, lots of elk, a few caribou, many many antelope, Africa, and two kinds of sheep..

My bucket list is:

one final bighorn, maybe another bull moose, perhaps another black bear only a diff. color, and lots of birds with my dogs..

Life has been pretty good to me, now that I think of it.

Killed a 140ish whitetail here in PA this season that may very well be the most meaningful deer I will ever harvest. So on to my list!


1. Elk (just sent my non res big game combo app in yesterday)
2. Mulie (See above)
3. Moose
4. Antelope (wife wants to shoot one too)
5. Hunt all of the above with my boys and wife...

I'm a simple man. I just want to share deer season with my son and a few good friends as many times as I possibly can before I leave this rock.

The man said this is for deer only.

1. I want a Columbian Blacktail from WA or OR
2. A Mule Deer preferably from the mountains
3. Saskatchewan Whitetail
4. WI or MI U.P. whitetail (may very well do that one this year)
5. Anticosti island Whitetail.
6. Roe deer in eastern Europe.

Anticosti Island whitetail hunt
Nebraska sand-hills Mulie
Alaskan Sitka blacktail
Canadian whitetail
Western coues deer hunt

Like many folks, the biggest obstacle I have is time. Work is always in the way .
Luckily, (at Least in some ways) I'm on the downhill slide and in 3 years I'll begin crossing some of these off the ol' bucket list.

All I want is a freezer full of venison and the possibilty of seeing a nice one from my stand. The small place I hunted last season, which we're going to lease this year, offers both possibilities, and is only 15 minutes away. The only downside is the lack of "big woods", but I can get that experience on any number of public land areas nearby as well.

Someday, I'd like to try a nicely-appointed lodge operation out, again where nice ones can reasonably be expected to exist, with all the work done by staff. Got a place picked out, with the 2018 season as the goal, Lord willing.

Actually, what I really want is to live somewhere where I could have a reasonable expectation of getting a buck on public land during rifle season. If such a place still exists. I'd trade all those hunts I want to go on for that.

You don't feel that way in Pa?

Tell ya what; watch Randy Newberg's shows on YouTube. He does well in Montana on public land.

Wyoming couldn't be bad. Colorado either.

I love just sharing a picturesque camp with good friends and having the space to hunt hard and the potential for a decent representative buck.

Pa treated me REALLY well this year, as did South Dakota. I'll be back to both those locations in the next several years... Pa this fall.

I'm saving PPs in Wyoming for a good mulie.

Want a Sitka black tail from Alaska some day. Washington or Oregon black tail someday too. Idaho whitetail sounds good but Arizona coues sounds like a dream!

Not on public land I don't. When I had access to private land I did.
