    My goal is to put a buck on the ground that would make a great euro mount to hang in my new garage...slam a few nannies for the freezer....and to hunt a few public land spots that ive always wanted to but never have

    I`d like to get my nefew on a decent buck during youth season also.

    Not following out of my stand is always #1other then that I just hope to put an arrow through my target. Preferably a large buck.

    My goals are the same as always. Take a doe early then hunt for a mature buck. I haven't killed a buck in years because all I ever see on Pa state land are spikes and 1.5 year old barely legal bucks.

    I'd love to be done early enough to have to go to MI or OH or elsewhere to hunt public ground for a second buck.
    Get a pistol slickhead harvest.
    Continue to pursue the mature deer at the swamp property, and settle for nothing less.
    Beat iHunt and Tacklebox by some sheer luck with snake!!!
    Share what I know, learn what I don't and thank God for it all!

    I'd like to kill an elk, any elk on my first trip ever. When I come home I'd like to kill at least 3 does and a 4.5+ year old buck for the season. And most importantly, beat the Amish boys from Kansass!

    Since I'm hunting the property next to Justin this year, I want to shoot one of the bucks he named in the last episode of BHOD and have him take my picture with the the buck.

    My slickhead time will beat yours :) I have been shooting it and the thing is stacking shots at 20 yards on top of one another. Hope to have a 30 yard max by hunting season with it.

    Kill a mature buck with my bow over 125".

    Kill a doe before mid October, and then a second some other time during the season. Both before mid October would be sweet!

    And all on film of course.

    I'm looking to just kill some deer and have fun as I've been out of it for several years. At this point in my life I really don't care what it is(I still wont shoot small bucks, old habits die hard), and just put some meat in the freezer and enjoy my time out with my son. I guess if had to pick a goal its to see my 11 year old son kill his first deer with a bow. He's already shot 3 with a gun so he's getting to be an old hand at that. LOL.
