    What's on your bucket list? Items can be outdoor related, but not hunting.

    Climb a mountain with my son.
    Return to the Bahamas with my wife and bring the kids this time. Hopetown to be exact.
    Canoe the north country. Northern Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, NWT, Somewhere far north.
    Build a new house at the farm by 2017.
    Winter camp.

    There's lots more I want to do, this is just a short list that came to me quick. What about you?

    Hooker, in August 2003 I sat on a high bald knob in Ontario at 3am watching a big forest fire 10 miles SE while the Northern Lights filled nearly the entire sky. It was one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen.

    Meet me in Ontario ice fishing sometime, almost guaranteed to see the Northern Lights too. They're amazing.
