1. Scouting and learning the deer movements--as much as anything just to be outside and maybe shoot a squirrel or two (I scout with a .22 in hand).

2. Meat for the freezer. A decent doe that shows herself is going down. I look at the early muzzleloader season as another doe season.

3. A buck with at least a small rack. That'll be a little bigger than what I've taken up to this point.
