2019/2020 Goals Thread

[hickslawns]

With honor and privilege I will again start the goals thread.

Safety. For myself. For my friends. Family. Even hunters I've never met.

Enjoy the season. Keep pressure off myself. Enjoy the moment.

Help my friends get on deer.

Thank God for my time each and every hunt. I think I did this every hunt last year. Should thank him for every day, every minute, every breath, and all we have.

Probably only need one for the freezer as we have some carry over meat right now. That would be nice. Buck, doe, whatever. Decent sized deer would work.

Made me smile to see this pop up again by you!

I honestly have had so much going on that I haven’t put much thought into it. So for now my goal will be to be thankful for what I have and who I have it with.

 

[Redhunter1012]

Just thankful to be able to do it and try and honor those who paved the way before me.

Goals are just to have a crapload of fun like every year

I love these threads.
1)Enjoy the season and get my daughter out as much as she wants to go.
2)Take a new hunter out and help them get a deer.
3)refill the freezer
4)Shoot my biggest buck to date.

I have a few good spots to hunt and a work schedule that will allow hunting almost any evening I want and weekends off. Will have a couple weeks vacation available if I want to take some extra time off this year too.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else’s goals and following along!

Shoot a deer (or 2) and not hurt myself in the process.
My goals are minimal this year.

 

[jagermeister]

Only a few goals for me this year.

1- Shoot a deer at my new property

2- Shoot at least 2 deer with my recurve

3- As always, just enjoy the hunts for what they are and share some experiences with family and buddies.

Get my kids into the woods and view deer close is top goal if a kid would score itd make my top memories. Hunt a lot and be aggressive is goal two. next March a major housing change is going to happen God willing. So I doubt there will be much time for anything else but building in my future. I want to enjoy the hell out of this year and take it all in. And as always fill the freezer. Get my wife in a tree might be in order this year as well.....

 

[Quantum673]

Shoot a deer with the recurve.

Thank God every trip to the woods.

Enjoy the solitude and reflect on all the past memories.

Most importantly create new memories with family and friends.

Enjoy camaraderie of hunting/ following along to others seasons.

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

1. Return home safe from every hunt.
2. Enjoy hunting for what it is and learn something new on each hunt.
3. Hunt with friends whenever possible.
4. Put some meat in the freezer.

 

[Iowa_Buckeye]

Get Shea on a deer that is wall worthy.
And to take her squirrel hunting.... She has been constantly asking for months. So today we practiced with the 22 and 20 gauge and plan to hit the woods this weekend for opener. She wants to be in the woods at dawn.

I think I want to be more aggressive this year. Maybe spot and stalk a buck this year. I’ve made that plan before and made it work, I’ve just never taken the shot after I’ve done it. Almost like the goal was achieved just doing it. I think this year I might make the goal to complete the deal with meat!

Ok. We now know that Giles watched this episode from THP this weekend.

 

[cspot]

My goals.

1. Have fun
2. Get my kids on deer.
3. I did a ton of scouting this year by camp in Ohio on a bunch of new ground. Hope to learn more about the ground and perhaps put a monster down. LOL.

I’ve seen a few of them now...I enjoy that. Part of the reason I prefer to ground hunt, I like that in your face action. Maybe it’s time to take it to the next level.

I can't say much. I have been looking at purchasing a ghillie suit as well. Would be nice for staying mobile, not having to carry that weight.

 

[Tipmoose]

My goals are low. I'd like to take a deer (any deer) in Ohio with my bow or crossbow.

I also want to take a deer with my family in Missouri and good friend in north Carolina.
