Bucket-list dreams

[saswart]

What are some dreams you have?

For me, to visit the Masters, hunt a proper safari in open country for an old worn dagga boy, Elephant bull and Livingstone Eland somewhere in Moz/Zambesi Delta and see either Everest base camp or probably K2 base camp.

 

[NoStepOnSnek]

Cape Buffalo hunt (scheduled), hunt the caribou migration, get some of my artwork on a ammo box

 

[skydiver386]

To hunt the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

 

[Justbryan]

For me it would be a 30-day full bag hunt in Tanzania or an Alaskan combo hunt (Brown Bear, Moose, and Caribou).

 

[Vic]

I want to do a Bongo hunt in the Cameroon. I would also like to hunt a Kodiak bear.

 

[Betterinthebush]

1) Take my wife and youngest son and his wife and our new grandson to Zimbabwe in ‘28. Hunt two elephants and a sable, then ferry across the lake and spend two days at the falls.

2) hunt Persian Ibex in ‘30 after we’re finished with our current business

3) spoil my grandchildren when they come to stay with us and return them to mom and dad Sunday morning loaded to the gills with pancakes and maple syrup.

I was in early 50s on a buffalo hunt and realized that my bucket was empty. So I got a new bucket.
If we don't have something to look forward to, we don't have much reason to keep going.

Get out of bed tomorrow!
Hunting wise it would have to be a full bag of Ugandan game and the same in Zambia.
Sitka blacktail deer and a king eider are in there sloshing around as well.

10 foot coastal brown bear in Alaska
Desert Big Horn Sheep 70-80 inch
Leopard in Mozambique with my son, possibly happening in 27
Watch my son catch a double digit bass in Lake Okeechobee in South Florida

 

[Firebird]

Plains game for bait so I can hunt a leopard with a giant head and neck.
Keeping it simple and doable. . .

 

[tinktink12]

To hunt the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

I thought it was a Lord Derby Eland in Cameroon?

 

[Wildwillalaska]

Take 6-7mo off and hike the Pacific Crest Trail.

Spend a season in Zim or somewhere working as a camp manager or some kind of appy pee-on, just to enjoy an extended period of time in the bush and away from the hustle and bustle of regular work life...I don't think I will ever actually retire, but love the idea of a sabbatical or taking chunks of the year off at some age.

Complete my FNAWS Grand Slam, still need rocky mountain bighorn and stone sheep.

Another sheep hunting goal, complete what we call the Alaskan slam which is taking a ram from each of the Alaskan mountain ranges. I have the Wrangells, Chugach, and Alaska ranges completed, so still a few to go.

 

[dhughes66]

To be able to take my wife and kids to Africa to hunt one day. I want to hunt just about everything in Africa, but one dream hunt would be to hunt a lion by tracking it. Not the captive bred lions in South Africa. (I don't have a problem with that kind of hunting but not what I want to do). I would also like to hunt as many cape buffalo with a double rifle as I can.

I am trying to convince the beautiful Mrs. Rare Breed to go to Bora Bora with me and stay at a 5 star resort with a set of rooms with entire glass floors that look over a covered volcano lagoon that is completely safe yet a once in a lifetime experience...I figure that will get her off any complaints of any of my Africa trips LMAO!!! (serious though)

With your youth still in place I am sure you will be able to work through quite a bit of your list.
Our world has so much great things to do and actually we have so little time on this blue planet most of my bucket list consist of hunting and travelling to other countries. But it would be neat to get to travel and hunt and the same time combining tourist stuff with hunting with my wife. I can Imagine Turkey and IBEX, Romania, Bulgaria, Sweden, Germany and even Russia.

No.1 on my bucket list is to hunt a large bodied elephant bull with thick tusks.
