RE: Bowhunting Goals for 2009?
 
For 2009, I'd like to have fun and successful trip to Colorado, don't care whether I get a cow or bull elk, I just hope to score an opportunity at one, and bring back some GREAT pic's of the beautiful country I'll be hunting in. I'dliketo have a successful Ohio archery season, in which I fill at least a couple antlerless tags, and hopefullyconnect with one of the several bucks that I passed on last year that should be shooter worthy this year. Maybe even stick a turkeyif the opportunity presents itself, but it's not really something I'mgoing out of my way after. But most of all,I hope to enjoy the 2009 hunting seasons.

Doug, Good Luck on your Elk trip! You going it alone or did you find someone to ride shotgun with?

If you come through IL let me know. You gotta stop and eat sometime;)

Good thread Dan.

I have already done something this year I hadn't done before killed my first turky, just a bonus it was with my Allegiance. :D

I would like to kill my usual one doe for the freezer BUT get it done on video.
Then hang out the rest of the season waiting for a shooter buck (for me), better then my best to date.

Big Congrats on the Turkey!!! Any Turkey with a bow is a nice accomplishment indeed.

I believe I have 2 other guys, and one alternate that may end up going, if one falls through. If you're not far from I-70, we could maybe link up for a lunch, dinner, etc. I'll be "hammer-down" traveling trying to get there in the least amount of time I can, but a little 45minute break might not hurt any, and an opportunity to meet a you oughta be worth it. Even if I ended up on my own, I'd still go...

I would like to get my first turkey with my bow,,
I would love to get lucky and draw a Maine, Moose tag ( bull or cow )
Also shoot my first pope and young buck... ( only 1 deer per year up here unless expanded archery zones closest being 2 hours away )

Most of all have a safe and enjoyous season..

My deer hunting goal is the same as many years in the past. I would like to get a mature buck with the bow in Wis. I would like to do the same with my rifle in Wis. and Minn. I'm still thinking about an out of state bow hunt as well but I have to see how things work out.

The same as last year. Shoot a Deer with my recurve. I had one good chance at a Doe and shot low! I had 4 small bucks that gave me a shot but I passed on them. That might change this year. I want a deer with the Stik and string! BAD!!

To shoot any thinbg..hog or deer.
I'll be hunting my 3rd serious season...I hunt in a highly pressured WMA..,as of yet..I haven't even gone full drawn yet.:eek:I have had 2 opportunities.

#1..My bow was hangin up on a hook when a 15 yd shot on a doe appeared out of nowhere..[&o]busted

#2.A hog was 10 yds away..I got the shakes so bad I couldn't unlock my knees or pull my bow back.[&o]He stayed for 1 minute total..could not unlock the knees and the shaking was outrageous.[:-]

So at this stage of the game..a full drawn.. downed animal would be super great.:)
