What’s your hunting bucket list

[Milo]

Headed to Hawaii in May to hunt Vancouver Bull and maybe Black Hawaiian as well.

Who with in Hawaii? It's been on my list (maybe not bucket level) for a while.

I have hunted several times already with Nahele Outfitters and going with him again.

Mike Vitousek is the owners name.

Good luck in Hawaii. Love to see how you do.

Bighorn (never gonna happen)
Bull elephant (maybe soon budget constraints)
Spear a nice yellowfin tuna (getting fatter and older every day)
solid typical representative muley (try every year I can, refuse to pay or leave home unit, hasn’t happened yet)

I have low expectations and high hopes. First moose in 2023, first African safari in 2024, and looking forward to taking my family to Namibia in 2026 and getting my boys excited about hunting and passing it on to the next generation. They have been shadowing me deer hunting for the past couple of years and were with me when I helped their cousin get a whitetail last year at 13 years old.

I love any opportunity to be in the outdoors appreciating God’s creation. I’m up for any sustainable fishing or hunting that fits my budget and free time especially when it aids conservation and benefits the local communities.

I didn’t start big game hunting until I was in my 30’s and am grateful for every opportunity I get.

As far as specific plans:

Whitetail hunting every fall here at home, moose, elk, pronghorn and mule deer as draws allow

Elk hunt in BC Oct 2025

Plains game in Namibia 2026

First Cape Buffalo hunt in 2027

Continue to look and take opportunities as they come.

One of the prior threads about the hunting the Big 5 had me thinking hunting goals and bucket list hunts. I’d like to complete my dangerous 7 by the age of 50 and spend my 50th in Africa with my family hunting that last specie. Probably rhino, currently 3 of 7 complete. If another hunt doesn’t derail plans, figuring 2 species per safari, lord willing this should be relatively readily accomplished.

What else is on the list? What else are true bucket list hunts?

For me water buffalo and banteng in Australia, a Marco Polo ram and mid Asian ibex, and a Lord Derby Eland.

I’d like to make it back to Alaska for a big brown bear and Kamchatka Peninsula for a moose.

I’ll continue to hunt mid west whitetails and sprinkle in a few hunts in the states.

What do your hunting dreams look like?

Well mine right now is to finish the 4 Spiral in Africa. I have the Kudu and Nyala. Hopefully in May I will have the Bushbuck and Eland. Then going for the Tiny 10. AND..... of course whatever comes in between LOL.

Addicted to Africa with a GREAT outfitter. CJ Safaris
