Goals

Just wondering if y'all set goals before season what are they and do you normally stick to them?

I have a couple of goals this year

I want to help my 7 year old son get his first archery buck and a good friend of mine found this buck on some public land in a youth only area, he has caught him on camera over 100 times and he is close to a mile walk in to him. We hope to get my son on him on a gun hunt this year. Im thinking he was pushing 160" last year I cant wait to see pics this season!



Myself I wanna kill a 150" buck with my bow on public land in Tennessee.

I stick to my goals pretty good but I know anything with more than 130" of bone on his head is getting shot.

thats a great buck good luck on getting him

Good luck getting your son an opportunity on that great buck and harvesting a nice whitetail also.

I am going to try and harvest a 4 1/2 year or older buck with my bow on film this year.

Sounds like some great goals. Good luck helping your son take a buck!

That's amazing your 7 year old can pull enough weight to shoot a deer. My 8 year old isn't there yet. Best of luck to you and your son.

My goals are mostly the same each year. shoot a mature buck and help my buddies do that same. Also each year I have a goal of getting each kill on film.

I see many of you tape your hunts. Just curious do you film yourself or have a cameraman?

Good Luck to your son.

I always try my best to have a cameraman............ but that doesn't always work out

In the beginning it was all self film but each year it's more and more with a cameraman. It's really hard to get great footage while self filming

Mine are always to get a mature deer,Also hope to get a couple of Illinois hunts on video.

Yeah I know this is supposed to be whitetail but my goal this season is to make it to the Rockies twice as long as I have a tag.

I hope to tag a nice mature pope and young buck this year. Also hope to get it on film and would like to also film some buddys getting a few on the ground. My main goal for the year is getting Tammy her first deer.

Cool nothing like helping someone get their first game animal. Its a gift that just keeps on giving when we pass it on.

Good Luck mathewsguy

That buck in your trailcam pics is a pig! What a buck for a kid! My goals are always to take a mature buck. And I make sure to smoke a few does while waiting for that big buck to show up!

My goal every year is to take a mature buck and as many does as I can. The last couple of years we were compiling a hit list of around 4-5 deer and trying to kill those deer and that was a lot of fun. With the shake up we had with our hunting properties we are going to have to work and scout a lot harder now to get that done.

Great goals and nothing like added challenges to add some extra fun to a deer season. Good Luck.

My goals have been the same for awhile now, to shoot acouple early season does and then hunt the rest of the season for a mature buck

I'm out to help my Fiance/ wife when season rolls around) get her first deer ever. I myself am out to harvest my first Mature buck with a bow, and have set a goal of 130" or bigger gun hunting. have stuck to this for 2 years. tough at times have passed up a few nice deer.

my goal this year is to get a buck with a bow on film and to help my wife get the big one thats behind our house
