Your 2014 New Year's resolution
« on: December 31, 2013, 09:38:00 PM »
I think this could end up being a fun thread.  What are everyone's New Year's resolution?

I'll start it....I've been dabbling with the trad bow since 2008 and its time that I go full time and harvest a deer.  I went full time in 2010 but had a bad year seeing deer and never even had a shot.  I went back to wheels the last 2 years to maximize shot opportunities but I think I'm ready to make the full transition.

My resolution is to be in better physical shape, enough that if given the chance I could hunt any animal in North America ( elk, sheep, you name it)

Recovering from Lyme has been tough, my bow weight dropped 5 pounds every few months. 2014 I'll be back to the old me!!

Happy New Year Trad Gang

I never get to bow hunt enough to satisfy me, so I want to work on that. Also, I lost 25lbs last summer and I'd like to lose more.

I want to shoot a turkey with my longbow, oh and quit smoking. I'm going to save the money from buying smokes, and buy a bow instead.

I want to finally get a little shack built at camp with a wood stove and some bunks so I can have room for guests to come stay without having to haul camping stuff with them.

Oh, and maybe have a baker style tent on the lower part by the river.

Exercise my old shoulders every day and stretch
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Of course "loose weight" and hopefully see a deer while on stand.   2013 did not provide either.
