What hunting goals have you set for yourself in 2011?

[lablover]

My goal this year is to do more hunting. Last year was not a good year as far as time in the woods. So in 2011 my goal is to spend more woods time all year. Scout, hunt, enjoy AMAP

I used to set hunting goals. My goals were generally rather broad rather than narrow. For instance, one year my goal might be to hunt mulies in Montana. The next year it could have been to hunt elk in Wyoming. I never made it a goal to take a particular class of animal (a P&Y buck or whatever). But these days I pretty much avoid setting any hunting goals save one: to enjoy and savor every hunting opportunity that I have. Matters not to me if it's a two hour afternoon outing on a weekday or a week in the mountains. In 2009 my hunting plans (or "goals" if you will) had to be set aside due to the death of my son and then my mother. My 2010 plans were likewise discarded with the sudden death of my granddaughter followed by the fatal illness of a close friend of some 40 years. I might be a slow learner, but it finally dawned on me that while goals may be essential in most other areas of life, they are not necessarily essential to hunting (save of course honing the necessary skills).

I am not saying that others shouldn't set goals; only that for me the only goal is to enjoy every hunting opportunity that God gives.

In the last 1-1/2 years i lost both of my favorite huntin buddys,my father and my older brother.I spend most of  my free time helping take care of my elderly mother.My goal is to hunt as much as i can and be more thankful for what time i do have.We all dream of trophy hunts in exotic places but i realize the true trophys are time spent with family and friends regardless of whats hanging on the meat pole.God bless you all and hope you reach your goals.MISSING DAD PRETTY BED!

Taking my first deer with a long bow.

[duncan idaho]

to be able to be in the US this fall and walk the painted woods with my bow.

[Wayde Burke]

I started to say my goal for the year was to take a deer with a recurve, but the most important thing I could focus on this year is spending more time in the woods with my sons. With all the bad influences in the world let's not forget what is important, and maybe in the process I might have the opportunity to take that first recurve deer.

[mt-dew10]

My hunting goals are as follows:  Get an elk, muley or white tail.  I got extremely lucky and stuck a a small bull(raghorn) last year but never arrowed a deer yet.  

Our area in Northcentral Montana got hit with a flood in June 2010 that washed out numerous roads, culverts, bridges and some buildings.  Because of this incident, I wasn't able to get out in the woods as much last year due to work commitments.  Although I did enjoy the time that was spent in the woods.  Hopefully this year will be different in that regard.

[piggy]

I wanted to hunt the US, my goals were to see Whitetail, Javelina and had always wanted to hunt Turkey but was just hoping to see those animals.
Well I saw them all in the first 2 days of my hunt  passed on a Whitetail but got a Javelina and turkey. Turkey is the game I had always wanted to hunt so I was pleased.
I was lucky!
