Default New year hunting resolutions

Figured we see this thread pop up about this time.
So what's your hunting resolution or just something new or different you plan to try next season?

I am seriously thinking about busting out (or buying a new) recurve and trying to take a doe with it. I'm not going to go completely crazy and switch to total trad gear, just probably ease into it.

I think I am going to try to curb some of my impulsive purchases and be happy with the gear that I have. I love all my archery stuff...but I am easily sold on new stuff! I bought my new truck when I took my wife's car in for an oil change...kind of pathetic. So, this year, less buying...for now!

Take a gobbler in the sprig and help my dad get one too. It will be his first time turkey hunting in 15 years.

Get a buck with my bow. Hopefully I can accomplish that one before the new years rings in.

To never shoot a buck that I field judge to be under 135. I setteled this year just to make a score when I could of been out hunting the last three weeks of the late season. Just a warning to my 9 team mates next season, I might be eating tag soup.

Never to agrue with Atlas, but I think I have a better shot at a Booner

I would like a Booner, and to kill a turkey when my daughter hunts with me this spring.

Me too, Motown. Me, too.

My resolution is to NOT take a shot that I'm not proud of in '07.

That's it.

Kill a turkey with a bow first of all.I also may end up trying a recurve this year as well to take a doe with during early season.The guys at the shop have been having me shooting all sorts of them on and off over the last several months but I can see a Dream Catcher in my hands for a hunt or two next fall.

I'd like to take a deer ground level next year with one of my longbows or recurves.
