New Year New Goals

Post by vixenmaster »

Seems like 2013 season fell short on my #'s of victims killed wid jus 5! So this season i will go wid 6 pts or better on Bucks but more Mature an older will be my goal. Plus i hope to have more time to hunt than this past yr. Lookin to take 5 Does n 3 Bucks. I have around a dz GTII's yet to use up. I have 4 swhackers to use n several other BH's to use up testin. Addin up all the BH's layin up on my shelf i need about a dz deer to volinteer :)

My goals are simple.

Spend quality time with Family.

Train my Lab puppy to find sheds in the spring.

Upgrade to X bones scope(nearly impossible to get one in Canada)

Harvest a Turkey with my Equinox or Matrix.

Harvest 2 deer with my bow in Ontario.

Hunt more days in Michiigan!!

Pick up a bit more meat with the Muzzle Loader in November!!

8 deer goal for next year. That's easily doable where I hunt but that sure is A LOT of venison. You must have a big family or you really,really like venison.

Them are some lofty goals for sure!!! :)
I hope you all achieve them.
Mine is the same, meet some more members here for another hunt or two.
I usually try to take three people per season somewhere, or my place to hunt together.
And I think getting a nice Tom turkey with the New 380 coming, would be really nice goal to get!!! :D

My goals for this year would be to start fishing again and to try and take a buck . I have been lucky enough to take a doe or two a year in the seven years I've been at it , but something to stick on the wall as well as in the freezer would be nice .

A full head mount is to pricey for me too . It would be just a European style mount on a simple plague or maybe just antlers on a plague .

Told one forum member my goal this year was scopes. Now I have 3 of 4 scopes I set out for this year. Then I wanted some spare parts to replenish my supplies. Got 90 percent of them already. It was a very busy month of January with a ton for sale I wanted. Thanks to all on the forum that I had dealings with. Now I may have to buy a new Matrix this year. Likely a bare bone 405 since I bought a C2 crank I don't need for any crossbow I presently have. :lol:
