What’s your hunting bucket list

I’ve had a couple safaries to Africa but with a stroke a heart attack cancer back again and a new hip in the works it’s just great to look forward to any kind of hunting at 75. My life has been good with lots of dreams fulfilled. I hope all of your dreams come to fruition
Thank you! I wish you the best with your health
 
Those are really my thoughts too. I was lucky enough to achieve my ultimate bucket list hunt. My focus now is seeing new areas. I just want to have good hunts in new areas. The species aren’t so important, but I really hope I never get tired of hunting eland or roe deer.

Beautiful eland

Yup, I can relate. Last 10 years saw a ruptured quad tendon, heart attack, shoulder work, bladder and kidney cancers. Shit happens, but I believe we just have to hump through it as much as possible. Good luck with the hip. My bud had a new hip in '23, then shot his hippo and croc in '24.
 
I told my wife now is the time to complete my list as to not having any regrets before I’m unable to do so.

I want to hunt all possible continents. Two left, we leave for Argentina February 19th with my wife after beating down cancer twice. She was diagnosed the first time two days before we were to go to Argentina. That planned trip actually helped her get diagnosed sooner due to us being unwilling to leave until we figured out why she was feeling poorly.

Last continent Asia will be completed next year when I head to Tajikistan for Marco Polo .

I have completely the dangerous 7 but would like to hunt a wild lion soon .

Polar Bear but it just too bleeping cold !
 
Bucket list for Africa - Leopard, croc and hippo to finish the dangerous 7. Lord Derby Eland, Bongo (have Bongo hunt this year) and if I win the lottery the mountain nyala. Really big elephant, 80+ pounder.

For North America - coastal brown bear and desert big horn sheep.

Also on bucket list is to hunt South America and Asia.
 
I have had the privilege to hunt my bucket list hunt. It was where I went with my Father on his Elephant hunt in Zim. Years have passed now, he has since then beaten cancer, I became a father, he a Grandfather, and knowing the privilege I had, I would love to do it again in both our new stages of lives with each of us doing a Buff bull in Zim.
 
Alaska dall sheep hunt (Brooks Range) in 174 days, 17 hours, and 45 minutes…but who is counting?

The training continues. Very blessed, grateful and thankful to return for another hunt in sheep country - Truly majestic animals in spectacular terrain.

Best of luck with your dreams and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.
