Well I killed my first trad whitetail buck this year, so I would like another, plus a doe, elk and maybe an antelope.

All sorta archery-related:
Finish my second book (getting close). Continue to get into better physical shape. Shoot more 3-D. Camp more. Set up more double tree-stand stand sets. Make time to hunt turkeys. And not wait till the last minute on stuff like sharpening broadheads, packing for hunts, etc.

1) Purchase a Howard Hill longbow in a weight suitable for elk hunting; 2) Purchase a new wall tent; 3) Attend the TBW banquet, spring shoot at Moses Lake, and summer rendezvous.
And last but not least: Practice, practice, practice.

To finish Rod Jenkins Bridge. I killed two does in the first two weekends of this season then proceeded to miss three more in the following weeks. By the start of next season I want my shot to be my own and to not have to think about anything but the aiming.

This year I would like to do couple of things.
1) get a youngster involved with Trad.
2) harvest both Elk and Mule Deer on same hunt.

It has been almost 4 decades and still haven't killed a Turkey with a bow, maybe this year. Trying to kill a Turkey and Deer with my homemade self bow.

Loose about 20 lbs, to improve my endurance and time in the woods and prepare for elk hunting.

Find a Trad Only hunt to go on. Spend more time in the woods with my two little ones. Become proficient again with my hunting set up and work on/improve my form.

My goal is to become 100% (give or take) proficient with my bow. Also, to take a white tail and turkey with it. I've yet to take any big game animal.

Dedicate time for improving accuracy and range,even if it's a 5-10 yard increase and make it to at least 3 traditional shoots.
