What is your personal hunting goal this year???
« on: March 31, 2007, 10:02:00 AM »
I met one of mine at TX Sweat...and below is my 'other' goal for 2007.

I'd like for every animal taken to be with a different bow.  I have had a few bows for a while that haven't taken game yet, and they deserve to.  So, I'm going to try and do them the honor.  In no particular order.....

Javaman DuoFlex

Sunbear Recurve

Howard Hill Cheetah

The MOAB I haven't bloodied yet.

The selfbow I built about 6 years ago.

And the Classic Bowhunting bow I just received.


Oh yeah, I have one goal that's the same year after year....to have more fun than last year     :D  


Just curious as to hear what other's goals are this year.

I am going to finally kill a bull elk on a diy elk hunt in CO, I hope. I have been close, but I think this is my year.

I am going to help two members here take there first ever turkeys and hunt with 8 members I have never hunted with before. I am going to get 100 new bowhunters certified. I also plan on helping the St. Judes Auction break the $50,000 mark this year.

Get my form 100% under control and limit myself to shooting as few bows as possible. And make only a minimum number of changes to my set ups!

I hope to take my first exotic with a bow and take a wall hanger buck with a bow. I also want to attend TX Sweat '08. And help my grandson take his first animal with a bow.

Improve my longbow shooting.
Make a laminated bow (?)
Do more ground hunting early season
Put more venison in the freezer. 1 deer almost gone already  :(
Take a big blackie boar with a longbow if I get drawn again this year.

And also ..... what Bjorn said  ;)     :thumbsup:

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

#1 is to help my son get his first deer.  Other than that.......

Catch up on string orders  

More bowfishing

More hog hunting

More deer hunting

At least see an elk on an OR hunt this fall

Figure out how to get to Oz for a water buffalo before I get too old to do it

Plan a gator/hog hunt for next spring

Build some arrows

Kill something with my selfbow

Place at the Howard Hill with my longbow  (had a huge run of luck last year with my selfbow)

Spend more time with family and friends at tournaments (instead of setting up as a vendor)

Spend more time with my son and friends hunting

That's a start anyhow..........

Do better then last year as a Christian. And get my first trad deer. Make a real knife that is just half as good as Tippits, Highpockets, Jeremy and Mr.C. and of course Mr.Lippert. I know thats a TALL order but thats what it is. And one more thing weasel another one of Lewis' longbows from him  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:  <><

I'm hoping to be able to get out into the woods this year with my buddy. I have not hunted since 2004 as a result of a nasty nerve disease. I will be satisfied with just one day, Lord willing. If not, I'll be happy with just sitting in camp near the stove while listening to all the stories being told. Most are b.s. but some actually have a bit of truth in them! Either way, they're good for some laughs. Good luck to everyone.

My goal for this year to to just get out there in the woods and make an effort, hopefully with at least one of  my sons in tow. They are older now and have got away from hunting, due to work, I have'nt been able to go for the past 4 years. This year I will be in the woods !!
 I'd like to be able to get out with the folks from Georgia on this board too.
 But mainly, just to get out there this year, I would'nt even care if I did'nt kill any thing.
