First and foremost, my main goal is to kill a 3.5 year old buck or older. I also want to get my wife her 2nd bow deer.

The following would be icing on the cake -
*Kill him from my lone wolf on a mobile hunt (this is the 1st year I've had one)
*Kill him on public land
*Target a few select bucks and kill one of them.
*Kill a buck from one of my pre-scouted buck bed locations

Kill my target buck or a 5 year old or older. Get the kill on video. Not get locked in to the same old spots.

Goal: Kill a higher scoring buck than jmaas07 so he has to buy me a 6-pack.

Action: put in a lot of spring scouting, found more beds, been glassing/shining, bought 2 more trail cameras, trying to get permission on new private ground.

Goal: Kill a 2.5+ on Michigan public.

Actuon: scouted more public, found more beds, tweaked access and picked out wind based kill trees, saved trees on GPS.

Goal: Kill two bucks with the bow.

Action: Hunt best spots at best times and put in more all day sits during the rut. Buy warmer hunting clothes haha.

Goal: kill the 3.5yr old that got away last year.

Action: review all trail cam pics and reference against weather data. Find patterns in weather and use the big buck sign and buck beds I found this spring to increase my odds.

My first goal is to get my dad his first archery kill. He has plenty with the shotgun but hasnt ever gotten one with the bow. He was never as serious about bowhunting til i stuck the needle in my arm and got addicted he got back into it. This time hes more committed and hunts more during bow season than he ever has.

My personal goal is always to kill a big buck for my area on the big public land woods I hunt but im always humble just to kill any deer that im fortunate to get.

Have a safe and successful (with some luck and a lot of work) first Elk hunt with my long time friend tbunao!

Learn a lot more about wind,thermals and air currents on each hunt.

Take my time in setting up because it's not a race.

Hold out for a buck that makes me happy and exists.

Fill my freezer with wild protein to last me all year.

Non hunting:

To fully prepare myself to finally start a college education for the fall of 2016.

-Always hunt the wind

-Hunt HIGHER

-Hunt more/longevity

-don't check cards too often/hang cams high

-Try midday hunting (10-2)
