06' will be my second archery hunt. I got a small buck last year at 20yds. My goals this year include :have fun, shoot straight, put meat in freezer, see more bucks and hopefully harvest one w/something bigger than a basket on his head. In that order too.
I hunt Crown land thats big woods in MB. This past year was my most productive when it comes to learning. I found a few more stand locations that look better than some of my others. I saw more bucks last year than any other...... including a real nice mature 5x4 during rifle season.Every season I hope to hunt smarter than the last.
Another thing that I would like to see...... have some hunting buds who don't do so well. My BIL, hunted w/him for 7 yrs and yet to see him harvest a big game animal. ANd a friend of mine who has come w/me for 3yrs now...... he also needs to take his first whitetail. At first we were all on our own, go our seperate ways and meet up for lunch and so on. Now I have to show them where my tree stands are so that they can use them. At least since then they have SEEN deer w/in range since then. One guy saw a hot doe w/3 bucks chasing her pass in front of my stand no more than 30yds and didn't even raise his A#s of the seat to try and get a bead on one of them??!
