Here ae mine in order, I like these because I can hunt them all in my home State. If and when I get my moose tag I'll probably move on to sheep and goats if I'm still young enough.

Elk

Sad to say North America doesn't do it for me anymore. I still like hunting elk and sheep. A big whitetail would be nice. No real passion any more. If I won a sheep hunt in a raffle or something, I would be excited again, but I'm not going to throw my money at NA hunting anymore.

1. Whitetail buck tag 1
2. Whitetail buck tag 2
3. Whitetail doe tag 3
4. Whitetail doe tag 4
5. Whitetail doe tag 5

Using bow, muzzle loader, and rifle.

We were only allowed two bucks this year in Oklahoma. They're trying to get the buck to doe ratio in better standing.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

I have shot so much game in my life that I am no longer passionate about it, still like to hunt however....

I suppose my favorite hunt is for Mule Deer behind my house with my grandson..We hunt out of the Pick up or horseback, walk or ride the canyon rims...I use my old iron sighted Win. M-94 SRC, 25-35 Win. caliber, and I have to get close (within a 150 yards) or not take the shot (self imposed rule)...I lose some really big old bucks from time to time, but so be it, let someone else have them, they probably will appreciate a big buck more than I and thats a good thing....

I always get my buck, usually a spike or forkhorn and ocassionally one of the big boys that hang out where I hunt and there are some real monsters there, but that spike is a lot easier to pack out on my horse, just drag him up in my lap and head for the trailer, and he will eat good also...

My 17 year old grandson is strictly a meat hunter and he loves his deer meat. Have never been able to make a trophy hunter out of him, although he has killed some nice bucks, and he loves to hunt.

To both of us its all about the hunt, the experience, and the quality time with each other, and thats another good thing..
