    to get a elk in colorado, mature buck in ohio, and two in Michigan. Realistically though if I just have good encounters for each state I will happy with that, wrapping a tag around one is just a bonus

    Management goals, does are too thick...need to take out at least five in one area and at least two in another and a couple here at home.
    Beyond that, there are about five hitlist bucks on cam so far that are 4+ years old, I believe actually 5, at least three of them are for sure 5. Any of those I'll put on the ground (if all goes well) at the first opportunity.

    Lots of processing this year.

    My goal is the same as it has been for the past 30+ years: To hunt hard, hunt safe, and enjoy every second of nature while on stand. Sure..........I would love a clean shot and a quick, ethical kill on a nice buck or mature doe. But, if I take care of the important things, such as enjoying nature and the hunt, the rest will follow.

    There is little else as good as a crisp, fall morning on stand. Good for your spirit................good for your brain.

    My goal is to kill a mature buck. I don't care about score, only what it looks like and if it would make a nice mount.

    My goal is to come home safely every night to my family!

    Oh and shooting a buck bigger than a spike or fork would be awesome too!
