RE: Dream hunt...
I'd probably already done it if I hadn't ruined my ankle (therefore loosing my job--can't climb ladders and scaffolds all day with a bum ankle). Mine is Australia for Asiatic water buffalo. I have the bow on order (85@30 Crusader longbow), put it on the back burner due to a starving wallet, but I'm still going to try and do it while I'm still able to pull back a heavy bow. Plan to go to OR in the fall of '07 for elk (Rocky Mountain and/or Roosevelt), possibly cougar, black bear, and blacktail too. If we tag out on elk early on, there's a possibility of going after some free-ranging feral bison (escapees from a ranch) while there. Going to concentrate on the elk first. Not #1 on my want-to list, but definately a dream hunt!
