Like Rock Chuck I just want to stay on this side of the sod to hunt a few more years.
I really don't care what I hunt, I just want to enjoy it a while longer...

A quaint Euro hunt ( reh, hirsch,) with a flint Jäger rifle while bunking with a young Bavarian bier mädchen in a nice old hunting lodge. Now that's how a bucket list is done. My second choice would be a traditional American Bison hunt with a Sharps rifle or a lever action Winchester.
Leave the gun, take the canolis.

I am hoping to draw a sheep permit here in AK at some point. Who knows, this might be the year. The results come out in a couple of days. We have brown bears crawling all over the hatchery here so I would have no problem bagging one of those if I ever felt like it. I really should be trying to harvest whatever big game animals I can as a resident up here, because I doubt I will ever be able to afford to do it if I ever move back down to the lower 48 (which I don't plan on but things happen sometimes). I definitely have plans to do another goat hunt with a buddy of mine, its a memorial hunt for a buddy that we both lost while goat hunting. If neither one of us draw this year we might end up doing that.

Color phase spot and stalk bear hunt Canadian white-tail Antelope Peccary/Javelina hunt
And most likely not financially feasible

I was blessed to get all that bucket list stuff done. Now just drawing what I can and enjoying fall hunts. Do want to get out to Kansas, Nebraska, SD, and maybe WY on some upland hunts this fall.
Good luck to those who are still checking off boxes, lot of fun along the way.

I was one of the lucky ones who got my bucket list filled early. If theres anything left at all it would be an interior grizzly, but I'm just not as anxious to suffer the discomforts and pay the moola for as I once was.... So I have declared peace with the Grizzly....
