This year will be my first hardcore season since I started when I was about 16. Finally graduated college so I’m taking half of August and all of September to try and get a bull down in CO. Then I’ll be headed back to Oklahoma for Whitetail in November and hopefully get on a few in Texas hill country.

Awesome! That sounds like a good fall. Good luck.

Taking my kid on a September bear hunt. Hoping to put a bear on the ground early and then head west to chase bugles.

Awesome. That sounds like fun. Good luck to both of you.

Planning my first Elk bow hunt, joining a group of experienced Elk hunters. I feel pretty lucky for that. It looks like we're gonna try to draw Montana. If no luck there, we'll OTC Colorado in an area they're familiar with. Either way, I'm excited to get in the mountains.

Awesome, you will be forever changed. Enjoy every minute.

This will be my first year as well. Planning on OTC counter in Colorado. Been researching for almost a year and still working on picking a unit.

Good deal, sounds like you’re getting your ducks in a row. That will pay dividends.

Was out in Western Colorado last year for the first trip after the big elky. Giving it another go this year.

Awesome. How was it? Good luck in round two.

Amazing hunt lists on here. I'm walking on one good leg and my hunting partner uses bionic right foot, since he lost his leg just below the knee. We're both near 60. Still we were able to do a walk in only antelope hunt in WY last year and plan to do it again this year. We both can ride bikes, so that has opened up some possibilities. Here is my dream list, much of which I know I will be able to accomplish already, with a few "hope to" hunts thrown in:

Winter squirrel and rabbit (already successful and ongoing)
Spring turkey
Fall dove and quail
Aug-Jan 1 local whitetail season
Ducks for first time!
AZ Coues deer
WY antelope

2019 I shot my first deer in Nebraska, only took 15-20yrs to happen haha.

2020 will be heading back to Nebraska for mule deer and antelope. I should draw a Iowa tag, and hoping for Idaho bear/wolf if my wife lets me bid high enough at the SCI banquet 🤞

We're heading back into the places we talked about in 2018, with a much better idea of where to start and where to skip this time.

I'll pick your brain again next time I see you.

Yeah buddy!! You know it.
