Default RE: What are your BOWHUNTING milestones?

I want to take 100 whitetail bucks with archery gear in my lifetime. That will require a lot of NR tags, a lot of time and a lot of gas, but I like my chances.If I take care of myself, I'll have 30+ good years left. That's an outrageous amount of deer - but if I have the vacation time, I can do it.

One goal that I haveevery year is to keep my streak alive, and take at least one whitetail buck with archery gear for 30 years in a row. I'm going on 14 or 15 years in a row now.

Since I was a kid - I always wanted to have taken abow buckwith 1-10 scorable points. I've got the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Since the unicorn is now protected in PA, it looks like I'm going to have to get him in Ohio, Maryland or WV (or elsewhere). You wouldn't believe how tough it is to find and kill a true unicorn.

And I want a double-throat patch buck. Bad. Really bad.

One booner. I'll settle for 165+.

Once I have the spare dough and time, I would also like to attempt to do something that nobody has ever done before:take a whitetail with the lightest arrow ever built for hunting. Just to leave a footprint on the world, however small- so as to look back and say "I did something that nobody else has ever done." I'd get a big bang out of that.

Most importantly - I always want to continue to do things my way. Not somebody else's way. My way. Trust what I know - ignore the criticism. Ignore the mainstream. If there's one thing I know about archery, and this industry:it's a fad-driven, constipated discipline, where the masses follow the marketing like sheep to a shepherd. I will never be cut from that mold.

Once I'm old and finished - I'd like to write a book. Probably a very controversial one. I'd write it my way. And it would be entertaining.
