My goal is 2 fold,

1: To make sure my family always has a goodplace to hunt, outside of being on public land.

2.To harvest every type of Big Game in N.A.

For me, I think my ultimate goal/dream is to be financially able to buy a large piece of land and manage it the way I want to. With that will come the big bucks hopefully.

I think a moose is my #1 harvest goal for big game.

Id like to be able to hunt all of the North American Big Game. But, if I only got to choose one, it would have to be Elk. id love to get out west and hunt them. I would also like thechance to kill a Red Stag.

I think I will have to go with owning my own land too. Anywhere from 150-300 acres would be ideal. I want to be able to manage my herd the way I want. Of course I want to make sure there are plenty of turkeys and other game animals.

My other would have to be to shoot a 170+ with my bow.

P.S. An elk to would be nice!

I'd really like a P&Y class whitetail from NY and/or PA. That's really #1. I'd also like to ensure that my family and friends will havea place tohunt forever, that's why I work so hard at my camp in PA and at Dan's camp in NY.

Outside of this, I've got 3 big ones.........

Caribou
Elk
Moose

I'd like to get a bear so I can have a nice rug as well. This one though I'd like to get Adirondack stylewith a rifle in the big woods. Some of you may cringe when I say this but a lot of you haven't ever seen what Adirondack style hunting is really like. A good sized bear in the big woods without bait is a true trophy with any weapon.

My only real goal as far as this topic is concerned is to teach my son properly in archery, bowhunting, and the outdoors.

I've never taken a mature buck in all the 15 years I have hunted. I would like to take one before I pass on.

I would like to buy some good hunting property to turn over to my kids, as my family has never owned any land. I want them to conserve it and keep it in our family for generations, building memories that will tie our family together in a strong bond.

I want my son to hunt with me but if he chooses not to, thats ok.

I would like to start a bowhunting program for disadvantaged kids in my area. Maybe get 3-5 youth bows each year, have the kids practice with me through the summer, then head out in the woods with them on their hunts to encourage and help them.

I would like to take a deer with a recurve, and I will one day.
