New Years Resolutions for Archery Season 2015

[monkeyball]

Oh no, hear we go with the resolution thing, but what else do you discuss after another year has flown by.

  Let's keep the resolutions on "Archery season", and spill the beans on what you are going to try and do this year.

 I personally am going to become a morning hunter. Working night shift for so many years has turned me into a nocturnal hunter. I find myself walking out of the woods in the dark, more than entering them that way. This year that changes. It is going to be mornings!

  I also am going to shoot all summer with the same bow that I am going to be in the woods with come October. No more "pinch hitting".

  So if you have something you are going to do or change this year, let's hear about it...............

Craig, my New Years resolution is to give you a VERY hard time when you break that "I'm going to shoot all summer with the same bow..." Aren't you the guy who bought a nice custom expensive bow an had inscribed "the last one" on it? Then bought another bow before it was delivered? NOWAY can you go all summer shooting one bow!  
Mornings are the best so I think you will keep that resolution.

Fm......would you like to put a wager down on that ?????????

I am resolute to find myself a new hunting lease.

 I lost the lease I had for the last 15yrs due to oilfield activity and am ready to find another permanent place to be able to hunt. And not having anywhere to pig hunt anytime I want is driving me crazy!!!

I resolve to spend less time around the camp fire with my buddy Wayne and Jack Daniels so I can get to the stand a little earlier.

I had a shot in 1971, I had 2 shots in 2013, I had a shot that missed and a shot that hit and didn't get in 2014.   :rolleyes:   For 2015 "I AM GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN" !!! Wish me luck......

I've got a selfbow that I'm putting the finishing touches on, some river cane to make into shafts, and plan on making some trade points in the some-what near future, and my cousin just procured me some goose wings to pluck feathers from.

My goal....to bring to table some of nature's finest meat using homemade equipment.

My resolution....to at least GO HUNTING with my homemade equipment. Lol

Of course I'd still like to get ANYTHING edible with trad equipment.....

I am going to spend more time in the woods through out the year (scouting,stumping,and hunting)

[Fattony77]

Actually, Jason, you just reminded me of another resolution that I had made without associating it with the new year.....to learn how to scout/hunt better altogether! I've clearly been doing something wrong by just hitting the woods and hoping for the best, so I resolved myself to learn as much about the strategic side of hunting as I possibly can.

Thanks for the reminder, buddy!

Happy New Year to you all, and may you reach your goals with their desired results!

[fmscan]

Monkey...., guess I'm called out. I can and will make a wager, just let me give it some thought. I do not want to make it too painful for you cuz I know you can't help yourself! You will pick up another bow and shake like a crackhead!

[hogless]

To set up with more cover and to not be moving around on stand so much and scout more and  to take the first high percentage shot opportunity that is presented

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I resolve to make some Venison so good, my wife will stop thinking she's a vegan.

Good resolutions guys....Bisch, I hear you on the lease, had a farm that I had the privilege to hunt the last 13 yrs go south this year.

 Ron, this could be the year buddy!

 Fattony, your resolution is my ultimate dream, one of these years.

 Charlie, I have some good recipes...I would make sure it would include the loins if I were you.

 And to my good buddy Frankie, make sure it is something you will not get to emotional about giving up or losing. I will bring the tissues.

                                          Good Shooting,
                                                       Craig

I also lost my lease also.  A property that I had a lot of sentimental attachment to.  Sad, but the show must go on.  I just got permission to hunt a very good piece of land here around home for deer, turkeys and 'yotes.  I will also pursue another lease in middle Tennessee or south central Kentucky.

I want to make bowhunting a nearly year round endeavor.  Going to try to get after some coyotes in the "winter lull", turkeys in the spring, carp next, whitetails in the fall.  HOGS when I can.

The season never ends.  There is always tuning.  Sharpening.  Tweaking form, and of course, practice practice practice.

Scouting is my second favorite thing in the whole world to do, and I intend to do a lot of it.

That's a bunch of resolutions, but I have a lot of work to do.

Shoot at 20 as good as at 15

[goingoldskool]

I'm  gonna try some ground hunting this year.....

God bless,

Rodd

[9 Shocks]

Increase my effective shot distance from 20 yards to 30 yards

My rabbit, turkey, pheasant and deer arrows are going to be the same arrows during deer season.  Hunt more mornings and less evenings.  Look behind me more next spring when calling turkeys, they do not all talk back to you and they do not all shuffle their feet in the grass.

[Homey88]

I'm going to hunt this year with my grandfathers 67 Beàr Kodiak Hunter, and try to take a turkey and a deer with it.
