RE: Bowhunting Goals for 2009?
Great thread idea MeanV, I have a handful of goals...
1. Keep the streak going - I've managed to take four deer in the past three bow seasons, so I want to get at least one more this year
2. Shoot a rack buck with my bow - We don't live in a big trophy area, nor am I a big time horn hunter, but it would be nice to get one with a little headgear. Of the four deer I've killed the first was a button buck (thought it was a doe), two were doe, and one was a spike.
3. Shoot a deer in one of our soon to be planted food plots - trying food plots for the first time this year and it would be so cool to get a deer while hunting over one of them
4. Get the kid brother involved in archery - My kid brother (not really a kid anymore, just turned 18 haha) likes to hunt but has never got into archery much. I have my old bow at the shop right now getting a new string and tuned up so I can give it to him. Hopefully this archery bug will bite him as hard as it has me

1) Kill a rack buck.
2) Have the best hunting trip we have had so far to north AL w/ my father..
3) Help my father in law kill his first one deer w/ a bow.. Going to be hard he shakes like a leaf in a tree when they are 150 yards away w/ a rifle in his hands...ha
Thats about it...

I have a few goals for 2009.
1. Make it back from Alaska in one piece.
2. Tag 1-3 P&Y Sitka Blacktails while there.
3. Kill a KY buck I am proud of ON FILM.
4. Go after another sub species of turkey, most likely Rios.
5. Help Team Covert win our competition for the upcoming season!
And IF money allows,
5. Make a bowhunting trip to either Arizona or New Zealand next winter/spring..still saving for one of these.

Being as this is going to be the first year I feel ready enough to try and harvest an animal with my bow; so if I am able I would like to harvest a bear, a doe, and a cow elk with my bow this year. While I am on a wish list if I get real lucky maybe I'll get a cougar! Ifs and coulds!!!

I'd like to actually see a Florida deer in the wild while I'm hunting. No joke, I live in the county with the lowest concentration of deer in the worst state. [:@]
