Just like to hear some of your goals for this season. Mine is to hunt more(15-20 times-not whole days) and shoot another P&Y book buck. One of my hunting partners goals is to shoot 5 deer, max allowed in MN in some areas. What would make your season a real success?

Thanks!

My friend and are going to try to video each other shooting mature bucks. Hopefully it all comes together, but if not it' s going to be fun trying.

To learn something of value about my local bucks that I can use for future years.

To make less mistakes than ever.

To have the patience to wait for the right day to hunt the right stand.

To have my arrow fly true and to its mark.

To ENJOY myself and my time in the woods.

If I can do this - the rest is gravy

My goals are to take at least 3 does in archery this year, and to shoot a buck bigger than last years.(last years buck had a 12" spread)

And it would be nice to have my deer drop in sight, rather than having to trail them, after last year I need a break.

1. Shoot the piebald doe that I' ve been seing

2. Shoot an 8 point or better

3. Get my wife a deer, her first

4. Develop more patience

Put a little meat in the freezer, have a good time, and take my little bro out with me a few times. Heck, I' d sacrifice all my deer this year so he can shoot his 1st. The look on a youngsters face is something I' ll never forget! 20 years down the road, we can all look back and say, " I' ve shot 50 deer" , but how many say " I' ve taken X # of kids out for their 1st hunt." Thats something to be proud of! They are the future of hunting!

To kill a limit in Arkansas which is 2 bucks and a doe. All bucks have to have at least 3 points on one side by law, but my goal is two 8s or better.

To kill my limit in Illinois, a buck scoring 130 or more and a doe.

Decompress with some deep woods therapy . Have fun . Shoot some does for the freezer and freinds . Wait for a big buck for the wall , and enjoy how close the littel bucks walk by . 10 months with out a day off , and the time is comeing up for it all to pay off .

I want to restock my freezer with at least one butterball doe. I then want to harvest my first buck.

Goals for the season,


I' d like to fill the freezer. Of course I' d love to get a book buck. I think I' ve done my scouting this year, we' ll see where it takes me.

Most importantly, I want to learn from my last years mistakes. I have to learn more patience especially when I have a deer walking at me. I just need to be able to ignore the shakes, and think about what I should do.

Most importantly, I' m going to continue to have fun and enjoy being outside. That should be everyones goal. Walk to me stand and forget about everything!!!!!!
