Yup, wood arrows.  Been shooting them over and over with broadheads and quiver is all set up with them for a few more hunts this season.  Have not shot a deer with woods for a few years,  just carbon and aluminum.

I've lost 10 pounds in a year. I want to loose 20 more as I turn 60 in 2014 to be below weight for my age and physique.

I'm also going to add more variety and consistency to my activity levels.

I'm going to apply for MT Bighorn Sheep.

I weighed more than I ever had when the season started..194 lbs. I'm down to 162 lbs. now...my normal weight..many yrs ago.

Walking up and down the ridges just about ever day does it...along with being too tired to cook when I get home.

My resolution..one of them..is to hunt harder and more importantly smarter. Go where I know I should instead of stopping short. It takes a lot more effort and is very easy for me to get tired and talk myself into "easier places"..when I know odds are better a little farther back or I've been over hunting a place.

Lose a bit more weight and get my diabetes under control. Attend more 3D tournaments. Then I want to develop hunting accuracy to 25 yards. Scout more effectively to better locate some of my stands. I have a particular bow in mind but that may not be doable.

Lose 10#, then multiply that by 5 or 6!    :biglaugh:    And to start a savings account as a hunting fund, so that one of these days, I can go on a guided hunt out-of-state.

God bless you all in this new year!

I would like to sell more bows than I buy, get down to two that I will shoot all year and hunt with this coming fall. Hasn't worked for many years but will try to accomplish it in '14.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

1.  Attend Barry's Bootcamp - checks going out tomorrow
2.  Take an 8 pt or better whitetail with my longbow
3.  Spend more time outdoors just enjoying life
Everything has a price - the more we accept, the more the cost

Already lost 30 lbs....so keep it off and get the heck into the woods every chance I get. Whether it be, hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing. I don't care......just want to be out there more

Quit grabbing the wheelbow when I know I may see a big one.  This past year I got a new honey hole that held some really nice bucks.  I had them pretty much figured out and knew with time I would have a good chance at them. Well I was forunate enough to take two P&Y bucks but both were with the Wheelbow.  Even though I have been shooting well I did not have the confidence that I would be able to seal the deal. Fact is I still have a very fond taste for big bones. Both shots were at around 15 yards:(
