I'm the new old man on the block. My goal is to take my firsy Whitetail with a bow. I've been hunting 40 of my 53 years, and have as yet to get a deer with my bow.

Lnolf welcome!And I'm sure you'll connect with at least one.

To draw a tag for Dog Salmon River or Frazier Lake and shoot a world record brown bear to go along with the mt. goat, blacktails and reindeer I plan to shoot. Plan B is to shoot a world record bear in the registration area before my girlfriend does and to get a bigger goat than her. Otherwise I fall back to plan C: pack out my girlfriend's animals...

get a buck...any buck! yes i will mount a four ptr! if it is my first

Bo

1 goal
shoot a deer

Septermber - 4x4 or better Colorado elk
October - whtietail doe and 5 point or better buck in Arkansas
November - 140" plus Kansas whitetail
Novembe/December - finish my Arkansas tags

I'll be shooting my Stewart recurve for all the above

TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHEN THE RUT IS IN AND USE THE DOES TO HELP DRAW THE BUCKS. LAST YEAR I HELPED FEILD TEST A LURE MADE BY BORDER CROSSING LABS CALLED DEER HEARD IN A BOTTAL AND VS-1. THE DEER IN A BOTTAL IS A COVER SCENT THAT DROVE BOTH BUCKS AND DOES TO ME. I HAD MORE DEER COME DOWN THE SAME TRAIL I USED TO GET TO MY STAND THEN EVER BEFORE. THE VS-1 IS A DOE ESTURS LURE WHICH PULLS BUCKS IN LIKE NO OTHER. I HAD SEVERAL SMALL BUCK COME WITHIN 20 YARDS OF MY STAND AND THREE NICE MATURE DEER ALSO. A FRIEND OF MINE USED IT AND TOOK A NICE 10 POINTER RIGHT AFTER IT LICKED THE MARKING TAPE HE HAD PUT THE VS-1 ON. THIS STUFF COST MORE THEN MOST LURES HOWEVER, IT IS WELL WORTH IT. I PLAN ON USEING IT NEXT YEAR.
BE SAFE, HAVE FUN AND GOOD HUNTING.

IT WILL BE MY FIRST YEAR WITH THE OLD STICK AND STRING. I HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF DEER IN MY AREA, AND GETTING CLOSE HASNT BEEN A PROBLEM ALL OF MY RIFLE KILLS WITH IN 50YRDS. SO MY PLANS ARE TO JUST MAKE A CLEAN KILL AND ENJOY MY TIME IN THE WOODS.

to get out hunting more often

I know i say this every year, but take a P&Y buck. (Best so far is 106'')
