Your trad hit list

[SwampRabbit]

The other thread about Aoudad got me thinking about revisiting my list of animals I'd like to hunt with my trad bow. I'm curious what other people have on their list.

Admittedly, I have a dream list and a reality list. My original list was pretty simple

Whitetail
Hog
Rabbit
Javi
Turkey
Squirrel

These are native to Texas and I just felt I should be able to hunt them and have a reasonable chance at getting them with a bow. With the compound I got the first 4. After switching to trad, I somewhat started over and I've gotten the first 3 again with trad in my first year.

The lease I am on does have Axis and even though not native to Texas, they are free range and I added them to my list. Recently after following some hill country Aoudad hunts this year, I'm definitely adding that as well. I think I should be able to make those two a reality.

So +Axis +Aoudad.

Then we have the dream list, and honestly, my list is pretty short. I don't really have a desire to go to Africa... think I'd rather go to Alaska instead. Elk and Caribou pretty much are my dream hunts beyond Texas.

In Texas... A Coyote.

Anywhere...bull elk.

I have only taken a rabbit with my trad gear. I have been hunting with it exclusively for about 3-4 years. I did stick a pig, but didn't find him. I am too picky so I don't expect to ever get a deer.

My list would be:
Mature 120"+ whitetail
hog
squirrel

I think as I get more animals, my list will grow.

I don't really have a list, well other then the aoudad right now lol. I live out west so have lots of critters close. I've taken elk, Whitetail, mule deer, hogs, turkey, a few exotic sheep, and yotes with my tradbows.

I guess I do want to take a bighorn with my recurve, maybe a mountain goat (I caved and used my compound and didn't kill, Just wanted my goat to be a true once in a lifetime goat). For whatever reason I want to bring my stick to Africa pretty bad.

Elk
bear
aoudad
nilgai
zebra
warthog
Coyote
bobcat

I don't really have a wish list. There are some critters I would take if I got the chance. I would still like to have a caribou and elk but I'm getting too hold for the rigors of that type hunting. I have unsuccessfully hunted both elk and caribou with my longbow. I've taken my longbow to Africa twice and taken some nice animals there. These days I'm pretty content with hunting deer, pigs, and javi's.

My trad list-
-Whitetail, Yet to score one with the stickbow
-Hogs, should happen soon
-Axis, did this. actually my first stickbow real animal an axis doe, still looking for the buck
-Fallow Buck,
-Turkey
-Any exotic sheep that presents an opportunity.
The Dream List- Just one major- New Zealand Red Stag. (have you seen the size of these animals!?!)

I am changing my wishy-washy answer on the other thread. Take your trad bow to Diamond C and leave the wheels at home.

I know, as of now I'm staying strong!

With trad gear I have only bagged whitetail, hogs, coons, rabbits and squirrels. Elk would be at the top of my wish list. After that would be two rather low-odds stick and string endeavors- spot and stalk a mulie and caribou

[tradslam]

Lots of guys want elk and deer, we should setup an elk Muley hunt on here.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[R.Armendariz]

My list would be Elk, a really monster hog, black bear , turkey , aoudad, and hopefully anything in South Africa some day , and coyote , maybe a muley .

[Bisch]

Elk and Blue Wildebeest would be at the top of my list. I have hunted elk 3 times, and never even pulled a string back. I have lost 2 wildebeest, so I am just mad at them!

Caribou and moose are waaaaay up there too.
