slughunter Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I guess mine is like most deer hunters. I would like to take a big, mature buck with my archery equipment. I would also like to shoot about 10 does off our lease to get the buck to doe ration in order a bit. Pretty average goals. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'd like to fill at least 3 of my 5 deer tags, of which at least one of those 5 I'd like to be filled by a mature buck going down to archery tackle, but I'd settle for taking one with my shotgun or ML.

toddyboman Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 So far I have these......but could always add more:D 1. Hunt smarter......(scent control, don't over hunt an area, wind direction, stand placement, stay out of certain areas) 2. Successfully video tape a good quality successfully hunt. 3. Shoot P&Y class buck with bow. 4. Shoot at least 2 does with bow. 5. shoot a quality older buck with gun. 6. Have at least 5 does shot off our property Will all these happen.....Probably not but that is why they are goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pendog Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 A few goals: -take a buck and several doe with my bow -take a buck in Pa and NY with my 7mm -hunt safe and return home everynight -get my kids & wife more interested in hunting -have a great time!! Just some of my goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drkillemquick Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Get my dad a nice buck! I am not sure what my goal's are this year, new baby at home, I have a full week off for deer hunting, but I don't see myself being too far from him for any large period of time. Will only hunt the property close to home. See LOTS of deer, they are big in body, however the antlers don't grow quite as big as up North.

wtnhunt Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Would be nice to kill a mature buck during the archery season here and get it on film, but really my biggest goal is to get my 12 year old on a mature buck for the youth hunt and get that on video. Would be nice to see my wife better her last years buck which was her best to date too. Will probably take a couple does depending on what is going on around us.

Gator Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hopefully get the kids their first deer, at least the ones that wanna hunt. Then shoot me a freezer full of does, and maybe a buck or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambo Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I would like to have a safe and enjoyable bow hunting season. Clean kills and to see some whitetail behavier that I have not seen yet. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I would love to have a safe season, see some deer, hopefully see a shooter a buck during bow season this year, and if everything falls into place, maybe I will get lucky enough to harvest a deer over 140". My buddy and his brother have both harvested large whitetails each of the last two years, hopefully it is my turn this year. Also, I hope to fill the freezer with some venison as we are completely wiped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 This season I would like to take a deer with my bow,shotgun, and muzzleloader.Seems like I normally only get two of the three.If the weather cooperates I plan on taking my 4 year old daughter muzzleloader hunting with me, and it would be pretty sweet to fill a tag with her there.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Take a doe or a mature buck with my bow (I blanked with the stick and string last year). Take one mature buck and one management buck with a rifle. Use up any remaining doe tags with the rifle. Take any mule deer buck with bow or rifle (extremely difficult, very low mule deer population on the ranch I hunt). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More specifically: Shoot at least 2 does, at least 1 with bow Catch up to a mature buck, at least 3.5 years old with my bow Do what I can with a shotgun Shoot my first deer with my TC Encore muzzleloader Good post!

fly Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 1. Harvest my first B&C (preferably non-typical) 2. Harvest at least 2 young does for meat 3. Introduce my kids (6 and 7) to the outdoors in a way that makes it fun for them and possibly even helps to build a life long passion 4.
