Categorized and listed alphabetically:

Complete
* Deer - Whitetail (but want a good one to mount)
* Dog - Coyote (but want one to mount)
* Misc - Pig (but want one to mount)

Scheduled
* Sheep - Aoudad

Planning
* Bear - Black
* Deer - Elk

Researching
* Cat - Mountain Lion
* Deer - Mule
* Dog - Wolf
* Sheep - Dall

Basically as I complete animals above then animals from below move to Researching > Planning > Scheduled. Realistically, I doubt I'll cross many off the list.

* Antelope - Blackbuck
* Antelope - Gemsbok
* Antelope - Kudu
* Antelope - Scimitar Horned Oryx
* Cat - Bobcat
* Cat - Lynx
* Deer - Axis
* Deer - Moose
* Goat - Ibex
* Goat - Markhor
* Goat - Mountain
* Misc - Buffalo
* Misc - Zebra
* Sheep - Bighorn
* Sheep - Mouflon

Lowest priority
* Sheep - Texas Dall/Corsican/Black Hawaiian/Painted Desert (*IF* I make it to this point I'll likely only pick one)

I guess with exception to Texas Dall/Corsican/Black Hawaiian/Painted Desert all will be free range, ideally DIY on public land. Where necessary or smart I'll make exceptions. For example, I'm working out the details of a DIY, solo, spot-and-stalk, backpack hunt on public land for Black Bear in Idaho. The Elk hunt is in Wyoming and has an A and B plan. A is with a WY resident family member fulfilling the resident guide requirement for wilderness access; B would be solo so no wilderness access.

I don’t care about size, I care about days a field

I want to be able to consistently hit the 120 days a field mark. With 50 of those chasing bugling bulls in a multiple of states.

Outside of the unlimited areas in Montana, I don't think there are any other OTC units for either one of these. The unlimited areas are definitely not for the faint of heart, even by sheep hunting standards.

There are a lot of guided OTC In Alaska. If you Canadian lot of OTC options also.

Unlimited arent that bad, just a lot of country waiting for a sheep migration.

Idaho has some pretty good draw odds in church etc that are probably more physical demanding then some of the Unlimited Units... but have more sheep.

If I was a sheep guy, I’d hunt unlimited when ever I could.

160+ whitetail in Saskatchewan
Grizzly
Mountain Lion
Bull Elk
Next year I’ll start putting in for some Wyoming hunts so hopefully within the next 5 years I’ll be able to get the Elk marked off the list.

The only animal I would like to try but on it's own turf would be the Scimitar Horned Oryx


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

There are only like 150 animals left in their native habitat. Would be an exhilarating poaching expedition in Sahara


The were listed as extinct in the wild in 2000


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Current #1 = killing a bull elk with my bow during the rut. (2021 hunt) Tired of eating tag soup!
#2 is either dall or stone sheep hunt (probably 2023 hunt when I'm done with my Masters as a reward as long as a maintain a 4.0)
#3 is Red Stag in New Zealand. (have a friend that lives there that's offered to host me. I just need to stop saying next year and do it)

Mine is very short. Kill every coyote I see. Shoot, snare, run over on the road and a few more I don't advertise about.

Buzz,
I have not hunted with these folks personally, but know a couple guys that have. They had a great hunt, and the facilities were nice enough that they took their wives.

Outside of what I have available to me on family and friend owned property, I have not hunted anything, so my list is pretty boring I guess...

1. Pronghorn
2. Elk
3. Prairie Dog

Once I have those three down, I might add some more.

Make it to the next season to hunt with family would be my goal. I have hunted Canada and many ranches in Texas so l have had my fun. An annual dove hunting spot would be most enjoyable. Don't need much, just an annual meat supply.
