    You guys need to get a room.


    Seriously though...


    In October a few years ago I spent a couple of evenings laying on a beach in caribou camp up in Quebec, east of James Bay watching a sky completely filled with northern-lights and listening to wolves sing. One of my most amazing life experiences. One that I hope to experience again. Lets put it this way, I have done it and its STILL on my bucket list. Make it happen, you wont be sorry.

    My dad has a cabin on only 10 acres in central WI. It is his dream place. Not much but its what he lives for. He has had it probably 20-25 years. He received a letter last week from the state saying his property is in one of three paths they plan on extending the ice age trail thru. They said there is a possibility of losing his land. He is devastated. Just built a 30'x40' pole barn last year.

    1. Canoe the boundary waters
    2. Take a guided fishing trip in Canada again.
    3. Travel out west, on my Harley.
    4. I would love to start some sort of fishing guide service for kids who's parents wont ever give them the chance to do it.

    My bucket list is:
    1. Become debt free before my kids graduate
    2. Move out to the East coast (thinking Rhode Island or Pennsylvania)
    3. Watch the Daytona 500 live

    Most everything else that I can think of right now is hunting related.

    May I ask why you would move to the east coast if everything else is hunting related? :lol: That would be like me telling you I want to own a farm and then adding I was going to move to New York city in the same sentence.

    What part of PA are you thinking and what line of work? A lot of oilfield work if you move to southwest or northeast parts of the state. Great pay but you will put in hours to get it.

    I'd also like to have some part of an ownership role in a brew pub at some point in my life.

    You have no dreams or aspirations? Nothing that you want to see or do before you die?

    When a man quits dreaming, a man dies.
