Well.....I've got a game plan for '07......and it's HIGHLY centered on me connecting with a certain buck, early. I'm targeting 3 different KNOWN bucks.......and any straggler in the area I haven't seen, yet. I had a shot at THE buck (the one I'm targeting for '07) on the fourth day of the '06 season.....so I know I have a real short window to take one of these guys.

IF I do......I'll absolutely become a doe killing machine. If I get that buck early.....I'll try to fill every remaining tag I have on does.....and buy more. If I shoot a buck early.....I could conceivably take 8 deer with my bow. If I don't.....it might more mirror this past year.

I could go into the season with the mentality to take every available doe (without a fawn.....my rule) and hope that a good buck shows.....but I'm not ready to roll the dice like that. I'd HATE to have every animal in the woods scared by mid-season by shooting everything that walked.

I need to take does, though........and we need to thin a small herd of them. I'd love for my son and I to take 10 does out of the herd. OK...Rob/PA gets a couple. We'll take 8.

That's how I'm approaching it as of right now. We'll see after the first 10 days of the season........
