To take a Huge Black Bear with a Bow-did that. Caribou, Elk Bowhunt-did that MANY times . Take a Good size Whitetail Buck-fortunate to have a few.
Mule Deer out West-many times. Bowhunt a Buffalo-did. Bowhunt many places & Canada-I have. Teach & take my kids Bowhunting-they are doing that now.
I have been fortunate to have made most of my Dream Bowhunts come true more than once. I have been blessed with many Bowhunts & family & this is the start of my 52nd year of Bowhunting Biggame. Took my 1st Deer in 1958, my 2nd year of Bowhunting & headed to Oklahoma in 2 weeks to Bowhunt some wild hogs.
Sharing Hunts with close friends & family make for the best hunting dreams.

GREEN & ENVY = ME!!!!
John,
You make me quite GREEN w/ ENVY!!! Good to hear that you've accomplished so much in your hunting career and you are passing it on in your family.
Bugling Elk is my first, Caribou second, and then 3rd, which I'll likely NEVER get and opportunity to do is RED DEER in New Zealand!!!! The first two are likely, the 3rd will probably forever only be a dream, unless I come by some major CASH with no strings attached to it!!! Hey, if everyone here gives me $1..........
Taking donations to make a hunter's dream come true, please send $1 or paypal $1 to my at.........

RE: Bowhunting dreams?
I would like to hunt every day of November one year. I would like to be in the woods every single day of November, even if only for 1 hour.
I would like to establish a hunting tradition in my family so my kids and I can have a "deer camp" or at best, hook up to hunt and hang out each year. I don't have any family traditions or anything that I do each year, so to me spending a special time with my family each year would be my number 1 hunting dream.

I dream of being blessed with the good health that allows me to continue to hunt year after year. Aside from that, Alaska-Yukon moose at about 10 yds. with a trad. bow sounds GREAT!

RE: Bowhunting dreams?
One of my dreams I already fullfilled by shooting myself a large P&Y Black Bear scoring 20 5/16. My next dream is shooting a B&C Black Bear. 21" mininum to make Boone, I've seen them where we hunt so its a possibility but its also the biggest challenge I've faced yet! Something tells me It may happen some day. I'm not sure but for some reason I got that feeling.
Just thinking about makes my hair stand on end!!

RE: Bowhunting dreams?
I thought you ment real dreams.
I did have one once, when I woke up it came true. Killed a nice 8 just as I had dreamed it. One of those things that makes you smile when you think of it. I'd never even been there before but I saw the land and the deer just as I'd dreamed it.

RE: Bowhunting dreams?
My life long dream was to take a P&Y buck in my state. That dream became a reality in 2006.
Now my dream is to take high country mule deer with stickbow and a big spot and stalk spring bear..... I'll start working on those in 2009.
