    My goal is to enjoy one of my last years in my Great Aunt June's woods. I would also like to get a 100+ inch buck with my bow, and get a kill on camera.

    I'm not on no where near as much as I use to be so I more than likely over looked it. Great goals. I wish we had more 120"+ bucks around this area to set a goal like that.

    Kill my first deer ever. Doe or Buck, I have been seeing a ton on cameras so I would like to fill a doe and buck tag, just to raise the bar. Also learn to field dress a deer. Spend at least 1 day a week in the stand and 3 A week from Oct20-Thanksgiving. Gonna be a busy fall.

    Goal?
    Get my wife on her first whitetail with a bow.. She had several close encounters last year, but could not seal the deal.. She has come a long way from "What is deer hunting".. to her getting the most deer in camp last year and filling my freezer with meat while I hunt horns.. It will happen, just gotta stay on it.. This year just might be the year.. And for my family and the rest of the hunters to enjoy the outdoors, have a successful year, and may GOD allow them all to get home safely to their families after each hunt...

    My goals are to share the outdoors with my two kids, shoot a doe or two for meat in the freezer, shoot a mature buck for the area I hunt, and most importantly have fun in the whole process. Of course, all of this must be on video! Bowhunt or Die! Good luck people!

    My first goal is always to learn something new about hunting every time I am in the woods. I have only been hunting for 3 years, this will be my second bow season - I am always looking to learn from my time in the woods!

    Grow my first food plot.

    Kill a buck in velvet in Kentucky in early September (also my first bow buck)

    Kill a buck in Indiana

    Kill 2 doe

    Not spend any more money this season! (Except on mounted bucks!)

    That's it!

    Take at least one of the two giants I've been after for several years, it is time.

    Clean Kill shot & Elk kabobs marinating in Honeyville Honey-Yaki sauce, while watching Peyton Manning lead my Broncos to their first of at least 13 victories.
