What all have you guys got planned for future hunts ? I dont mean 2026 I mean something your planning long term? 2032 the boys will be 14 and 12 and God willing if all goes as planned those two will have antelope tags. Going to check off at least a week to do it, taking the wife and them and making it the most relaxed hunting trip I've ever experienced. I already know the unit (been there). Scenery will be amazing. Perfect balance of sight seeing close by and accommodations for the family with some good hunting. Anybody have any projections for point creep over 6 years lol? I can't be the only one daydreaming about one of these long term planned hunts...

All my eggs are in the point gods basket! Until then I will hunt your antelope unit or one next to it every year I can before that group of assassins you bring with you decimate the herd...lol

I figured you knew where I was talking about. Should be a great all around vacation/hunting trip.

I love it man.

For years I have had dreams of doing a DIY fly in hunt for either moose or caribou in the boonies of Alaska. DIY meaning become a pilot, buy an airplane, and fly myself into an area for the hunt, and then fly back out with meat in the belly pod and antlers on the wing struts. I'm getting closer. At this point I've got the license and I've got the airplane. I think it will happen in the next 2-4 years.
 
I dont think pronghorn will jump a bunch in points unlike elk will/have, especially if the herds increase with past two mild favorable winters. You guys will have an awesome trip. I got to spemd three elk, deer, and pronghorn hunting trips with my boy when he waa 10, 11, and 15 in a good area in Montana. Hopefully he, my daughter, or myself will draw again, Lord willing. In the meantime fishing is a lot of fun.
 
Ive only got one hunt in mind that takes more than a handful.of points to draw and its in Nevada, so theres a chance I'll never draw it.
NV can be awesome, never hunted there but got to work. Seen a lot of big bulls and bucks out there.
 
I plan some good ones but won't be too specific. Mostly I have no idea when any particular hunt will happen but I'm pretty sure all of these could happen if I have good enough health over the next 20 years.

Heading to AZ on a rut archery hunt this fall.

Probably CO 61, 76, or NW corner elk hunt in near-ish to mid-ish future. Could draw some now but may wait, a little or even a lot longer.

I can draw any antelope hunt in CO.

A decent NM bull elk hunt.

A decent UT bull elk hunt

A New England moose hunt

Merely "good" WY antelope hunt

Several South Dakota deer and antelope hunts.

Nebraska antelope hunt

Iowa whitetail

Pennsylvania elk (low odds but still "plan" to)

Decent AZ mule deer

Good MT archery elk

MT antelope, mule deer - nothing too special

WY mule deer - nothing too special

CO mule deer - nothing too special

UT mule deer - nothing too special

and a bunch more!!!
