A really nice buck taken on my own property. We have lots of deer, but not many really big bucks. I know they are there, because I have seen them from time to time. The problem is that they commonly see me before I can put the whammy on them.

Almost anywhere, hunting anything, with a few good friends.

Moose hunting was always a dream of mine. Realistically its not going to happen. There are a couple of hunts that I could swing. Going muley hunting again and hunt hogs some place either one of these is doable. Just got to make it happen.

Oh and I'd take any animal with an ASL. Am still a greenhorn with those bows!

Gotta go with elk with an asl.

At this stage of my life, Bob, any hunt with any of you guys that ends with a relaxing fire and reflection on the day's blessings is bucket list home run to me.

Brown Bear from the ground with a longbow would be mine. Probably closely followed by Caribou.

Wild hogs, spot and stalk-no bait and diy bear hunts, plus a whitetail hunt in a state where I can kill more than one deer in a season.

Wild hogs. Dont care where, and Lord I do love hunting rabbits as well.

Don't worry guys rabbits are on a cycle so it will be boom town again.

Also there are many more hawks and owls.

I agree. Not only less habitat to live in, but along with that is less habitat to nest or hide in, such that a coyote hunting a field might find you, a coyote hunting a fence line Will find you, and be able to catch you on flat, open ground.

As above, I also would like a cottontail rabbit hunt with plentiful sitting rabbits within bow range.

In my area during the early 70s rabbits were rampant. One could not drive down any road without frequently encountering squashed rabbits on the road. I could walk out into one of my grandfather’s pastures to find rabbits just sitting within bow range all over the place.

Now it is very rare in my area to encounter a cottontail rabbit that is not within town. There are even few rabbits within town. On the rare occasion when a cottontail rabbit is accidently jumped up while hunting other game, then that rabbit is always running full out while crazily zigzagging through the dense briars. Despite the fact that I particularly love the taste of wild cottontail rabbits, I do not even attempt to hunt them anymore.

Where have all the cottontail rabbits gone? I don’t know!

Two things have occurred concurrently with the long-lasting crash of the cottontail rabbit population in my area. I have no way of knowing whether this association is causal.

1. As the local farmers retired or died their 150 acres up to 400 acres family farms with each field and pasture being demarked by closely growing Osage orange tree rows (i.e., fences) and also with creeks, ponds, scattered woodlands, plus varying terrain were bulldozed down flat, filled-in, and converted into vast mono-crop corn, wheat, and soybean fields stretching flat as far as one can see to the horizon.

2. Coyotes progressed from being nonexistent, to being rare, to being common, to being plentiful, to now being rampant.

I had originally thought that the cottontail rabbit population was probably cyclic and that they would someday return. Now I wonder whether they are gone forever.

I used to want to hunt moose and mt goat, and everything else. Now...I am not gonna afford a mt goat hunt, even if I were able to physically chase them. Moose....well, though I like to do things myself and would prefer doing just that, a guided hunt to Newfoundland could be possible. I am gonna chase pronghorn one of these days. Maybe behind a decoy shield. A scoot n shoot style decoy.

I relish the hunts with my brother during the rut at my cabin. Consider myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to hunt thousands of acres of public land nearby. Would like to squeeze in a caribou hunt before I get much older.

Good friends, good fire, plentiful game. Doesn't matter what. Not a bucket list item, just a hope for every season.

It sounds crazy with all the more glamorous game around but I would really like to hunt where there are lots of rabbits. We just don't seem to have hardly any in my area anymore.

Suggest you do some searches...internet and soul. What...really...interests you ? Do you need to kill something ( being serious), then a guided hunt will probably help you. Do you like to do it yourself ? Stands, still hunt, dogs, calling ? Accommodations? Travel ? Huge big game ? Dangerous game ? Small game ? Not so well known game ? With buddies or family or alone ? All these things play a role. I know for a fact I myself prefer certain aspects, even though I have no issue with other aspects ( being obscure and politically correct ) regarding the hunt itself.

Once searched...make a list, then plans. For some you might need preference points. Start them now while chasing others.

Caribou with one of my Hill ASL bows. Also, a full outfitter group to field dress and pack out the animal. I want to track and stalk the animal, but at 75+, I am just too old to be packing the other stuff out.

I want to do a moose hunt, either BC or Alaska. I have a friend who recently bought a place in New Zealand —he’s not a hunter but I’m hoping for an invitation to visit with my bow!
