How many species will you bow hunt in 2015???
« on: February 05, 2015, 06:16:00 PM »
My plans so far are to hunt:

Turkeys in Missouri, Kansas and possibly Nebraska.

White-tailed deer in Missouri

Pronghorn in Wyoming.

If I get REALLY adventurous I might try my hand at ducks or geese here in Missouri plus some small game here and there.

Rabbits and squirrels for about another month.  Coyotes and predators.  Turkeys in the spring.  Fish in the summer.  Whitetails come fall.  I really hope for another hog hunt this year too.

as many as I can get away with.

Rabbits and skwerls already, pigs and javelina in March (TX),  turkey (spring and fall), pheasant, grouse, goose, deer (WI), deer (MI), bear (CO), elk (CO), and that's it. If a coyote walks by during a deer hunt I will add it to the list. Might try woodcock !

Bears in Quebec, deer where ever I can and stumps locally.

Turkey in Kansas, Deer in Kansas and Illinois, and elk in Colorado maybe pig in Oklahoma. Rabbits and squirrels where ever I find them.
Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Whitetails and turkey this fall for sure. Possibly spring turkey but I've got to get better at distances beyond 15 yards.

Tree rats and bunnies are on the menu as well.

I intend to focus on elk and moose this year...I will likely have tags for mule deer, whitetail deer and cougar as well...I can shoot a wolf without a tag here in Alberta

Turkey and elk are a given every year, whitetail deer if I'm lucky to draw and then grouse and snowshoe rabbits will hopefully be on the menu also. Next year i won't draw my preferred elk tag so I think I'm going to spend some time pronghorn hunting. I have a spot that is so so for both elk and pronghorn that isn't too hard to draw.
