Goals for 2017 deer season

[Swamp_bucks]

I know its still a little bit away but what goals do you have for the season? Hunt with a certain friend/family, spot, new state, new gun, certain buck?

1) help daughter get her first

2)friend was in serious accident hoping hes healthy enough we can get him out this year.

3)Ide like to be able to get 2 bucks any size in a year, never was able to get one during bow and gun in same year.

 

[Lawdwaz]

 Nice goals, I'll be pulling for you.

Hope to get out more this year and have better routine.

Kill a few doe...don't get hurt, make clean kills with quick recoveries, enjoy myself, and get at least one nice surprise.

1) Give God thanks and all of the credit for allowing me to cleanly kill enough deer to provide my family with enough meat to last until the 2018 season.  We are going to have a tough time eating all the vacuum-sealed venison in the freezer that He blessed us with last season, so two average-sized deer will probably be enough this fall.

2) Practice sufficiently and select shots such that every one gets the job done and minimizes meat-damage.

3) Fill a DMP tag with a mature doe and donate it to a "feed the hungry" program thru a local processor.

4) Help a friend from work get his first antlered buck with his crossbow.  

5) Help someone recover a poorly hit deer using the blood-glow tracking agent that I purchased a few years ago.   I have heard great things about this stuff and would like to see it work.   Every deer I have shot at since having it has dropped dead in it's tracks or close enough to hear crash, so I have not had a chance to try it.

 6) Kill a 2-1/2 yr old or older Adirondack buck while still hunting with my new lever action rifle using open sights. 

7) Kill an antlered buck during the late ML season.

#1-Have fun and enjoy every last second I can in the woods

#2-Get that big buck that's been walking around my grandparents property or at least get some trail cam pics of them

#3-Try to get at least 3 deer this year so I can smoke one and turn another into sausage and dried sausage

#4-Call in another buck this year

#5-Get a coyote

Ultimate goal will be taking a big mature buck during bow but I'll be happy just to see a good one to know he's around.

Mostly looking forward to enjoy long sits over this new food plot I'm working on right now. It will be my biggest and best yet. A lot of work going into it so it will be nice to see it full of greenery and deer feeding in it.

Hoping to either buy a box blind, or might end up building one on this new food plot so I can take my two little boys out with me during gun season. Waiting on our yearly bonuses from work to see if I'll buy or build haha.

Enjoy every minute out there like I do every fall. Watching the sun rise and set and seeing Mother Nature in all her glory is the best feeling in the world at 20ft up a tree.

Fill the freezer and enjoy nature while doing so.

Hunt more hours. The last two years I have spent as little as 6 days in the woods. I own the woods this year!

[rachunter]

harvest my first ADK marsh buck and take a buck with my muzzleloader.

[Arcade Hunter]

Find a new place to hunt.  We lost our lease 

[turkeyfeathers]

Have my 14 yr old daughter get her first deer is top priority 

maybe finally shoot a buck remotely close to a wall hanger 

shoot one with the 30/40 krag 

shoot my 2nd with Super Blackhawk.44. Just something about tipping one over with a wheel gun 

 

[Buckmaster7600]

Keep my streak going by killing another mature buck this year in the ADKS. Kill an ADK buck with my longbow.

1. Get my son his first deer, we were close last year but no cigar.

2. Fill the freezer.

[BigVal]

Get out with my dad more is number one, getting a buck would be next, almost any buck will do. 

[Doewhacker]

1. Make a list of goals and post it here.

 

I am behind schedule already.

[dbHunterNY]

- get my dad back out there.  
- assuming she commits to getting prepared for it, get my wife her first deer (it'll have to be a bow because she only wants to hunt with that.)
- take my daughter out to "hunt" deer.  she's only 3 so it's pretty much an observation with binos type of sit.

...aside from that i'd like to fill as many tags as i can with my trad bow.  when push comes to shove though i'll probably tote something more effective when i get on any of the 4+ yr old bucks i think will be around.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I have a few this year

1 - Help my daughter get her first deer

2 - Not injure myself and hunt the whole season

3 - Fill the freezer

4 - Get back after the buck Ive been chasing for a few years, Waldo. Hopefully this will be the year he slips up and turns another close encounter into a gut pile and a drag!

[BizCT]

Kill 2 nice bucks on opening morning of xbow and opening morning of shotgun, so that I don't have to waste any other days getting up early.

[chrisw]

Enjoy myself, stay safe and make memories. Hopefully mixed in there somewhere is some venison.
