What’s Your Someday

[Y2JJ]

It feels like the forces pulling against me (hunters) are immense. Time off work, family, money, decent gear, or just the anxiety of the travel. I currently live in Wisconsin and although I love the Midwest, the 3 years I spent living in Salt Lake City has burned a fire in my soul for the expansive mountainous wilderness. We Wisconsinites has many hunting opportunities. I am an avid duck, deer, pheasant, and numerous small game hunter. As the pull to get back west strengthens its grip I’ve come to realize I must get back. My someday is coming this year in a trip to Wyoming for Mule Deer. With countless hunts dreamed of on a uncontrollable regular basis, I will never stop achieving my Somedays. I absolutely love hunting and thank all those who have helped in any way or hunted with me. Let’s all keep hunting and supporting our fellow hunters. Make Somedays a reality!

My someday was March 15, 2011 if I remember right. My wife and I quit our jobs and moved from WI to
UT. WI hunting was getting frustrating, and I had caught the mule deer bug.

Feel ya....we live in about the most amazing outdoor paradise imaginable, and work 7 days a week between us, DOH!!!
....two mortgages, building a new house out of pocket, 3 kids in school, $40k truck loan, credit cards, yada yada yada....sometimes "someday" feels purty far off...but we keep grinding because eventually it'll be worth it...

My someday is passing the love of hunting down to my future son/daughter. I grew up hunting with my dad and grandfather and my dad hunted with his dad and grandfather. I just hope that they find the love for the sport that I found.

Someday is for the fourth time packing my crap and moving back west to the state where my daughter was born - Idaho. Not just about hunting, its the freedom to get truly lost in the wild - about just walking and walking to see what’s over the next (and the next, and the next) ridge. It’s not happening where i am now...

Best thing that happened in my life(besides my family) was my mom teaching me the common sense Dave Ramsey principles at a young age. Preaching to my wife and I to stay outa dept. and by doing that we have been able to start going on our someday hunts a lot sooner. My wife and I started really going on our someday hunts a several years ago at a younger age then a lot of people can and already have the next 4 years booked.

My someday is any day I can get my Daughter in the outdoors Hunting / Fishing and off of any devices (Phones / Tablets ect.) as well as any day I can get out of State for a hunt that is adventurous. (hopefully 2 trips this upcoming season)

My someday is when I get to go be with my Lord and Savior. Everything else is trivial.

I certainly dig that BUT calling it trivial does not honor the life God gave you. Right?

A little out of context dont you think, even though you make an excellent point.

Yes. I’m just looking to hear about dream hunts turning into realities. These forums can easily go off track sometimes.

In terms of hunting, a solo sheep hunt though that seems like a tall order at times but moving west in August will probably help.

Mt Goat someday somewhere....

My someday is drawing closer. Been at the same job 34 years, plant closure on the horizon. Born and raised in California and looking at greener pastures in UT or NV. Been an avid trout fisherman/upland game hunter for years and trying to get back into big game.

This year will be my someday year. Just trying to decide where that someday will be for myself and family.

My someday is the Washington State Game Jokers giving me my branched antler tag after putting for 20 years. Tired of running into guys on their third and fourth tags.

I usually talk to my wife weekly about how beautiful Wyoming is and how nice the people there were. I doubt moving there would ever happen though.

To go on a bighorn hunt

I don't believe in somedays.

Why put something off? Believing that someday is a better day in the future will keep you from doing what you want to do when you want to do it.

I've seen way too many people talk about a dream hunt...or a dream home...or someday I will achieve something.
Instead of a someday make it a goal...focus like a laser beam and achieve that goal.

Want to move to Alaska? Spend every moment available researching applying for jobs, convincing spouse, looking for homes, selling personal property etc until you can make it work...

Want to hunt stone sheep? cant afford the 50K? Well immediately stop spending money on food, vehicles, clothes, cut back on buying anything not needed to survive. Save every penny you have and you can go on that hunt in a couple years.

Want to spend a month hiking and backpacking Europe? Quit your job and go.

It really is just what your priorities are...are you willing to get uncomfortable in order to grow?

We are not on this planet long enough to have somedays...set goals and achieve them.

OP-not ment to be negative just trying to start a fire under peoples butts!! Great post and topic!

Used to think that way...wanted to hunt everywhere. One day I was looking at map book I had for Va to find a trout stream I fished in college (instead of going to my 8:00 Econ class...)

I realized that with the generous deer season we had (October - January: bow, ML, rifle) and everything else...that there was more to do in my own “back yard” than I’d probably live long enough to accomplish.


Trick is digging deep enough, and keeping what you find to yourself.

To me it is hunting the big 3 in my home state of CO. Probably be waiting a while.
