1.Find a new and more productive place to hunt.
2. Do not shoot a buck unless it is bigger than my previous best.
3. Get my wife to join me more often.
4. Have at least one out of state hunt and one in state road trip hunt.
5. Kill a turkey with archery gear.

I"™m not big on the resolution thing. I have goals and things I need/intend to accomplish, but they aren"™t really resolutions. About the best thing I can say would be to not be lazy. I have a lot I want to be prepared for next fall and it will take time and effort to get there, so I just don"™t want to fall into a lazy spell.

Ditto.

My goals will change drastically for the '08 season (personal). I plan to kill fewer deer in the coming season.....while not sacrificing the overall mgmt. goals.

I will also vow NOT to repeat mistakes from prior seasons.

I would like to do more scouting and also some shed hunting to help better learn hunting areas. I would also like to take a Turkey with my bow this spring.

Well, I didn't take any bad shots this year,passed on a lot of small bucks (dinks), already found a new hot property. I practice a lot anyway. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it! My goals will remain the same. No dinks, shoot more does etc.

I'm gonna try to find some bedding areas and find out what the deer are eating. Hopefully that will lead me to see more bucks.

[ol][*]Get my spinal fusion done,rehab and be able to enjoy some time in the woods. Hopefully, I'll get to hear a Turkey gobble this spring, don't even care if I get to shoot one.[*]Make an real attempt at caring less and less about what the other guy's shooting.[*]Take someone hunting that hasn't done it.[/ol]
