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!

RE: Accomplish before your bow hunting career ends?
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.

RE: Accomplish before your bow hunting career ends?
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.
