    Kill one of my top two target bucks. Either one will be my largest deer ever.

    I've never killed a buck bigger than a spike. I've had opportunities but not with a buck I've deemed worth it. I would rather let them grow and put a doe in the freezer. That being said, I am hoping this is the year. I am putting a lot of prep and work into my hunting this year that I never have before.

    1. Kill my first wall hanger.
    2. Get my 8 year old son his first deer.
    3. Take my 5 year old daughter hunting for the first time.
    4. Fill the freezer.

    after last season. just getting the motivation to go back out is becoming challenging. achieving a life long goal and trying to find a new goal has been challenging. I'm sure i'll check my camera and have other thoughts. I hope!

    3.) Have fun enjoying the hunt !

    I would like to take a 2nd buck on my new property I own. 3.5 year old here in MI would be awesome. CWD rulings here may make that tougher than it already is...

    To kill a deer, any deer with the help of friends and a crossbow from the ground. I broke both wrists in June, so this hunting season will be an entirely new experience for me. Just to get out in the woods will be an awesome blessing.

    Thanks Sota, it could be worse. But, I definitely get frustrated at times.

    So if you use the bidet and leave a skid mark or even if you don't do you hang up the towel to reuse it or do you just dry off with toilet paper?
