Bucket-list dreams

I have two that will never happen.

Take off and land in a jet fighter on a US aircraft carrier, with a bit of aerobatics in between. ( I’ll settle for being a passenger as I’m keen on living) .

Ride a rocket into space. Orbit the Earth for a day and return in one piece and still breathing.

I’ve got a heap of others that with a bit of luck I’ll accomplish…..hopefully.
 
1.) To hunt water buffalo in the Northern Territory with my custom NT Firearms Gove built 425 Express.

2.) To hunt Gemsbok and Cape Buffalo in Africa.

3.) To finally hunt deer with a .303 British – and I now have just the rifle to do this...

To walk again with my new hip {old one was deformed at birth and troublesome} maybe another safari in Africa. A stag hunt in Scotland and maybe a Roe deer there, my family was chased out in clearances
 
Successfully summit and descend K2.
Hunt Brown Bear and Moose in Kamchatka.
Dive with Orcas in Norway
Visit every state in the U.S
Brown Bear and Moose in Kamchatka is my number one hunt on my list.
 
To spend every dime I have after I retire next year and complete my move.
 
I just successfully completed my Big 5.

Next up is to hopefully complete my Tiny 10 in June with Zambeze Delta. Ideally it includes taking another Blue Duiker (with 375 this time) so I can say I’ve taken the Big 5 and Tiny 10 with a single rifle. Eventually, I’ll add hippo and croc as well to finish the Dangerous 7.

Complete the NA Super 10
Complete my World Turkey Slam
Hunt something on every continent
Successfully Hunt of Fish every US State
Repeat the Big 5 with a Double Rifle
Keep Hunting Elephant every couple of years
Complete a Sheep Slam
Complete the NA 29
 
Blue train to Zim, stopping to shoot birds along the way, arriving at Victoria Falls for a refresher before going for elephant in the region would do nicely.
 
I want to hunt in Russia for Moose and Bear. Marco Polo Ram....Bezoar Ibex in Türkiye.
 
Brown bear in Alaska and a free range cape buffalo on foot.
 
I’ve been a lurker here for a while and finally made an account.

I’m a 26-year old law student with a kid and another on the way. My bucket list consists of just getting to Africa and Alaska. I’ll add more things once I do.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
