    One of my dreams is to someday walk into the World Series of Poker, drop down $10,000 for the entrance fee, and begin playing. First one out or last one out is irrelevant, I just want to play.

    What are some of your hidden dreams that you may not frequently share with others?

    IOWA--make that happen.
    RJ--I've wanted a log home for as long as I could remember as well. That sounds awesome.
    OO--go for it!
    Monster--that IS going to happen one day.

    I planted the flag in all but Antartica. Somehow couldn't get all excited about doing that one. There is nothing like getting out and experiencing other cultures.

    Not really a secret, but all I have wanted to be was a cop my entire life.. after that I would love to do exactly what Fitz said. Get off the grid for an extended amount of time, that would be my life long wish that hopefully I can make happen somewhere down the road a ways.

    I would love to work with my Father in Law to get a new cabin built on our property up in Hayward WI and then start spending some time up there fishing and enjoying a few weekends away.

    I have aspirations to get out of the medical field someday and go in to full time ministry. The Lord will provide as I make this transition, but it's not quite that season for me yet.

    Not much secrets here.

    Selfless goal; Build a house for my family in an area where my kids can grow up as I did, in the woods. Mostly, be successful in life.

    Selfish Goal; i AM going to hunt in AK or NWT for Dall or Stone Sheep with my bow.

    everyday

    My dream has come and gone already unfortunately. Back when I was younger and could play golf :lmao:I tried to make it to the PGA tour. Gave it everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) I had but came up a little short. No complaints today I'm doing good. And I'll always be able to not sit here and say someday I want to try to do this or that. I still have goals but not to that level.

    Nothing too exciting here. I'd like a "nice chunk" of land with a log home built on it. Walk out the door and start hunting. I'd also like to do more out of state hunts. Im simple. ;)

    One year, after the 50 top restaurants are listed, I would like to travel to and eat at at least the top 25 during that year.

    I also plan to kill a turkey in all 49 states in which they are located.
