    I thought it would be fun to start a thread over this next season would be fun
    My goals-
    • Most of all, have another safe year in the stand
    • Kill a turkey with my bow
    • Kill a 168+" buck (my best,we've got some)
    • All good shots
    • Go out west and kill a muley with my bow

    I'm going to try 100% traditional this fall. Just hoping for any mature buck and some does. I'm also planning to head out west to try and get my wife an elk. Should be a fun fall.

    Well I'm Getting married in September...then heading to Illinois first week of November, should be a good ice breaker to see how much I can get away with. Along with hunting my farm in Pa and trying to tag a bigger public land Ohio buck than this past year, +130. And just have fun in the woods regardless of the outcome.

    This past year was my first year bowhunting. I did not get enough time in the woods. I hope to change that and get my first archery kill. I don't care if it's a monster buck or a turkey. Both would be nice but i'll take anything.

    Secure another piece of private land to hunt being things just didn't work out with the land I got permission for this last season.

    I love hunting public land but I want to be able to leave a stand some where and not have to worry as much about it disappearing.

    Let an arrow fly on a mature deer.

    2 years of tag soup does not leave a good taste.
