Arbitrary Hunting Goals

[txco]

Super 10 is a big goal of mine. First with a gun then maybe one day with a bow if I draw enough tags.

I dream of capra slam and a grand slam

My personal goal os what I call 5x5

5 elk
5 pronghorn
5 muleys
5 bears
5 others

Been fun and getting close!

Bongo and forest sitatunga hunt in Cameroon, Equatorial Africa. Wheels up one week from today after 3+ years of planning and preparation.

Gonna be miserable - the African jungle is hot, thick, and humid. Chance to see wild mountain gorillas on this excursion. Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Update: The African jungle was hot, thick, humid and miserable, as expected - I loved every minute of the trip. Very blessed, thankful, and grateful.



Bongo, Lokomo area, Cameroon, Equatorial Africa. May 19, 2024. Day 2 of 14 day hunt.




Forest sitatunga, Cameroon, Equatorial Africa. May 24, 2024. Day 7 of 14 day hunt.

We also saw a wild silverback lowland gorilla and a female gorilla along with 3 bull forest elephants. Lifelong goal accomplished in seeing these wild animals.

I am posting a full hunt report on AfricaHuntingForum.com. Good luck in the draws and happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

I tend to be strangely goal-oriented about things that don’t need goals attached. Hunting hasn’t escaped my neurotic tendency. For a while, I’ve had this desire to take an elk, a deer, and an antelope in each of the eight Interior Mountain West states (MT, WY, CO, NM, AZ, UT, ID, NV). I’m not too hung up on a male of each species, but bucks and bulls are cool, of course. The AZ antelope is gonna be hard with only 17 points currently. A guy can hope, though.

At 46 years old, I’m not really close. Only in MT have I tagged all three. NM has offered up elk/antelope. CO and AZ each an elk. WY an antelope. NV, UT and ID… nada.

Anyone else with some arbitrary hunting goals? Who has completed my IMW Slam?

Those are some ambitious goals! Some amazing hunts to be had if you can draw the tags required. Best of luck!

I like that 5x5 goal. I may have to set one of those once I get to tag out on each of the species I want to hunt for the first time. For me my next goals are elk and mule deer and to have a nice representative of the area I hunt on my wall to marvel at for years to come.
