    Capture more on quality video. Would love to get a mature buck kill on film but just advancing my filming skills would be nice

    Get my newborn out of house as much as possible. Son is due in April and I'm sure my hunting time will be more limited since this is our first child. No trips this year. Planning on getting in better shape for elk hunting in 2017 this year. Hunt the rut next year for whitetail with no specific number goal.

    Replant a food plot that is 5 years old. Very little and simple things this year. Plant some more apple trees on farm.

    1 - Find more quality ground
    2 - Get it done when the opportunity presents itself

    I'm going to put some effort into killing a cow or spike or calf elk with my bow. Less hiking, more hunting.

    My biggest goal is to for my family and I to be safe all year.
    Next, I think would be to get the shooting house built so our boys can go hunt with me.

    Do some shed hunting, maybe kill a Tom with the bow, attend the annual get together, and kill a 120 buck!

    More preseason prep for whitetail: scouting, possible new areas.
    Start my new elk addiction.
    Fitness (mainly for elk).

    Buy a piece of land to build a house on that my boys can grow up hunting

    Gobbler with the Nitrum this spring

    Transition to a single pin

    Actually find time to hunt our lease in KY this year

    Not hunt OH in November at 86 degrees

    Edmonton bow zone, maybe!

    Meat in the freezer, mature buck is a bonus!

    -Enjoy my elk hunting trip.
    -Narrow down, scout, then hunt some better quality states.
    -Purchase, then start practicing with a recurve for 2017.
    -Capture quality footage and take better pictures.
    -Keep learning
