    My goal is always the same, hunt hard, have fun, and try my best to kill a good buck for my area. I always achieve the first two, it's the third one I have trouble with sometimes. It's all good though!

    Me and my buddy are trying to double up on does in the same day. One morning one night, both on film!

    Having fun and enjoying the little things is something that is often overlooked. Last year my grandfather passed and I took his rifle out for gun season, was one of the most enjoyable days hunting I've had in a while.

    Too many People get so antler and mature buck obsessed that they ruin their hunting with pressure on themselves.


    I don't really have any goals other than to beat tony. Just have fun even if I lose.

    My biggest goal this year is to get my son his first deer with a bow. He went last year for the first time, seen a couple but never got the shot. He shot at one but shot over the back, hoping this year is the year.

    Mines to at least get a doe before my daughter is born in october. Aint gonna have alot of time to go so be nice to dial in on a early season buck but main goal is really to have fun and shoot a doe. I cant wait to just sit in a stand and just relax and enjoy nature.

    My son (first kid) is coming any day now so I'll just be grateful for every day my wife lets me disappear into the woods.

    My main goal is to shoot a few mature deer. Hopefully a nice buck gets into the mix. I didn't put a deer down last year due to re tearing my shoulder on September 28. Kinda put a damper on the whole 2014 season. 2015is my redemption year.

    I'll be focusing on harvesting some does and putting meat in the freezer. I'll also be in pursuit of a 140+ buck. Most importantly will be taking my son out hunting and showing him what makes this adventure and lifestyle so amazing. I'll also be trying to take my wife, father, and mother out as well. Spending quality time with family doing what I love.

    I hit 40 yrs old last year, body aches are picking up and so is the pace of life. I hope I can bowhunt 25 more years, however one never knows what life brings and when it will be their last time to walk out into the fall deer woods. Soak it up.

    I had a great year last year with a lot of deer around my go to stand and managed to harvest my limit plus a bonus bear that wandered by. Don't expect that every year so I hope to enjoy my time and enjoy being with my hunting buddies and the comraderie. Just make some memories as the saying goes. Sometimes the most memorable hunts are ones where you don't even get a shot.
