2022-2023 Goals

[katiesmom]

What goals do you have for the coming year? I have four.

I am able to hunt a military post. They have a program to reduce deer, hog/vehicles accidents by bow hunting specific areas near houses, grocery stores, and unit buildings. You must qualify by taking a safety brief AND shooting from an elevated platform, hit 2/3 arrows in an 8 inch paper plate at 30 yards for compound and 20 for traditional. GOAL: Qualify with my Gamemaster 2 trad recurve to hunt these areas. I've been qualifying with my compound for over 8 years. I've been practicing traditional for almost a year. You get 2 chances to qualify.

GOAL: Try hunting using my Novix Helo and my saddle to see if it works. Success is being comfortable in the stand, and getting up and down.

GOAL: Scout/hunt but be okay if I find no sign to set up on. Never sit the same spot more than once.

GOAL: Harvest a deer with my trad bow.

We are a little over 90 days til bow season opens in GA. Woohoo!

 

[CooterBrown]

Kill a deer on public land, Go out of state to hunt, Kill a deer by canoe only access.

 

[Hunt1997]

I retired this year and will be able to hunt as much as possible. I would love to take a deer with a wood arrow and a trad bow on public land.

 

[BTaylor]

Run out of tags before Christmas just with the longbow.

 

[MattMan81]

I think this year is gonna be fill the freezer, and try to process my own. Meat prices don't seem to be going down. So I really need to make sure I have plenty of deer meat in the freezer. Two does on ice before Halloween. Then work on a big boy.

 

[Robert loper]

I would like to kill at least one target buck with new compound bow and A a kill with my trad bow.

 

[tylerray378]

Kill a revolver deer out of a hand sewn saddle. I did the second part last year with a bow on public land

 

[kyler1945]

Stay in current romantic relationship, in spite of my hunting habit.

Shoot a bigger buck than I have before.

Kill a second elk or locate and call one in for a hunting partner.

Fill every freezer I have, and those of as many friends and family as possible.

No mercy.

Same plan here. We had our first kid 2 years ago and I am in fill the freezer as quickly as possible mode.

1. Scout harder, longer ,take my time take notes and pictures and drop pins on map of what i find.
2. Scout more than 1 location
3. Hunt different locations and stay flexible when hunting.
4. learn more about hunting and more about White Tail deer

 

[Horn]

I'm as green as someone can be, so just kill and recover one. Keeping it simple. Hopefully with my compound but I've got a crossgun and a new rifle if i need them, and I may. If i can't bring one home, I want to make awesome snack sticks, summer sausage and/or jerky for my more successful friends. I've been working on processing for a while now

 

[DooleyVT]

Just enjoy being a part the woods on every single sit.

 

[Mitchellfarmer1982]

Kill 4 deer atleast 2 with bow on public and get one on Henry Gray Hurricane WMA. Keep scouting discovering new areas.

 

[thedutchtouch]

learn more, shoot as many deer as i'm able/want to. currently that nuber is uncapped, i'd love to be in the position to consider capping it, but with a grand total of one under my belt, trying to have realistic expectations. hopefully i can shoot one eligible for the d@asdkg;jafghasld contest lol i'm not bitter about last year at all

 

[John 35]

Kill six deer hopefully including a couple mature bucks. But I will fill my freezers one way or another, “eating tag soup” is a stupid expression.

 

[Rinehart]

1. Fill a SC tag
2. Hunt from a saddle
3. Fill an Ohio tag - nope
4. Take my daughter out with me on a hunt.

 

[BuffaloBill]

Get meat in the freezer before Halloween. I say Halloween because our second baby is due around then. I probably won’t get out much after that.

 

[HuumanCreed]

My goals is actually a progression of goals

Get a deer with both of my compound bows.

Then get a deer with trad bow.

Repeat for rest of my life.

 

[Exhumis]

Harvest a deer on the farm I hunt. I’ve hunted this place for 5 years and have been bingo’d every year.

 

[NMSbowhunter]

Keep a mobile hunting mindset and get back to the fundamentals of scouting, finding the deer and setting up properly for a shot. Scout until I find a high percentage spot and hunt it. Don't hunt a spot that isn't high percentage, kill deer, repeat. Keep learning the lessons the deer are teaching me.

Hunt hard but have fun.
