For me, I will be out of this transitional job situation and will have vacation time but my kids will be starting college so its going to be another balancing act for the 2015 season)
Aug: WY Antelope (Archery)
Sep: CO Deer/Elk 2 different hunts (both Archery)
Oct: CO Deer (rifle)
Nov: CO Elk (rifle)
After pheasant hunting in Kansas a bit this fall, I am thinking Kansas for Whitetail in 2016, but not sure of Rifle or Bow for that.
Will be headed there for elk, bow either 1st or 2nd choice.
A Desert Bighorn tag would also give me a November Plan if that were to happen.
I can relate to the kid in college thing with my daughter down in Louisiana.
Depending on my finances, heading back to sw montana chasing elk.
Trapping and calling coyotes 'til March or April.
Turkey ( hopefully ) in Central Texas in April
Wyo. antelope in Sept.
Whitetail in Texas until season is over.
Bow hunting for whitetails in Missouri and Illinois in October and November.
waiting on lottery results in Az, Ut, Wy, Nm, Mt, Ky, Co, for other opportunities.
Then it will be moose in Alaska with MixedBag, then elk in Wyoming. Kind of a short schedule but the moose trip is taking quite a bit of time and money. That Special Elk tag isn't cheap either!
The moose threads have been making me drool.
KS turkey in the spring, and maybe CO as well if I want to cash in my points.
Plenty of fishing throughout the spring and summer.
Not sure which seasons yet, but definitely elk and mule deer in CO.
There will be a whitetail trip in there, most likely Illinois again.
Beyond that, I've decided I will go ahead and draw RMB sheep and moose in Colorado, so the rest of you shouldn't even bother applying in April. :)

Unless I draw a tag or two, this is what I have planned for 2015.
June - Hogs CA
Sept - Caribou AK
Sept/Oct - Deer / Bear Ca
All year - coyotes (but after looking at Blacktail Bobs list, I want to move to Alaska now!)
May-June - Black Bears (Alaska)
May-June - Grizzly/Brown Bear (Copper and Nenana Rivers, AK) Can only take one or the other but am hunting both.
Aug - Sheep (Brooks Range, AK)
Aug - Caribou (North Slope, AK) with HUNT MAN and the crew!
Sep - Moose (Near home)
Nov - Goat/Sitka (Kodiak)
I have a few draws as well that may bump a thing or two out and open up other opportunities.
How far is it to Delta Meats? Looks far. How long for them to turn around a moose?
If you or Blacktail Bob need a Sherpa let me know!
I may be wrong, but you're damn near as old as me aren't you? If I hire a Sherpa, he's going to have young strong legs.
I can tell you're interested! :-)
That's a pretty awesome list of hunts.
Feb, Apr, Jul must be the slow months!
Heck, you're still a young stud. You better start taking better care of your self. I thought you were older than that!!!
January I'll be in AZ looking for a coues and probably shooting a forky mule deer - only 5 weeks to go :) I can't wait for this hunt!
March-April is San Diego Turks
Late July I plan on hitting the A zone for archery blacktail, but may wait till August to hit the lost coast so I can get some abalone in Mendo.
Sept will have me in elk country for 1-3 hunts with a possible mulie tag and hopefully AK bou.
A week of Oct will be local mulies.
November I'm going to hunt WT again, but looking at hitting the north woods this time. Going to hit 2 states. Also local mulies again on each end of my November-December work month.
This is, of course, pending the draws. A moose or sheep tag would be a golden wrench in the gears.
So am I hired? Why don't you get a guide or outfitter's license so I can kill a sheep goat or griz. That would be sufficient pay!
