2010 Hunting Resolutions

[ICMDEER]

What are your goals and resolutions for hunting in 2010? Here are mine:

1. Go on at least three quality mule deer hunts; one with my wife. Shoot at least one trophy buck.
2. Get the wife another good buck.
3. Stay in reasonable shape and avoid injuries.
4. Go scouting and camping at least 5 times in July and August.
5. Shoot more often. Go shoot prairie dogs at least monthly from April to August. Shoot paper more than that.

Good one there Jim.
Best to you and your family in the new year.

Me, I'm going to go ahead & build my new trophy room this year.

I'm gonna watch my vices, (doc's orders)

Spend some more quality time with the wife.

Try to shoot a good buck or bull for myself, I think Jr. can guide himself now.

Thanks, Harry. From the looks of things, your son should be guiding you for a change. You guys have had some serious success the past couple of years and I hope it continues. Happy New Year.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-26-09 AT 03:25PM (MST)[p]1. Rehab the back.
2. Build a stronger core to keep the back in shape.
3. Lose the 15 pounds I've gained in the last 12 years.
4. Mountain bike more.
5. Camp more often.
6. If I draw a unit 61 blackpowder bull tag that will 'shift' the focus of where I recreate this summer.
7. If I finally draw a moose tag...
8. Try to keep the job from controlling so much of my life, it ain't really worth it. The corollary to that is to hope to keep my job in the coming blood bath that the next two years will be.

Harry, The big one is coming in October, follow the doctors advice. (Congrats to the kid, he is one to be proud of).

HUNT MORE - WORK LESS

 

[CAelknuts]

#1 to draw a quality tag for elk somewhere
#2 not be so darned picky and finally drop the string instead of coming home with pictures of bulls I passed up.
#3 Heck, if I can take care of those first two, #3 won't matter....

 

[firemedic56]

1. Make a finished dog out of my half Plott female....she needs to be on a few more hogs to be a finished dog.

2. Draw a management buck hunt in Utah

3. Kill a 180+ muley

4. Do more of what I love to do and less of what I hate to do.

 

[hornhunter247]

1-kill one of the 2 180+ inch bucks we found with my bow come the first
2-try like crazy to stay single throughout the hunting season, or not end up single after!
3-get my son through hunter safety class come march
4-take the kids rabbit hunting once a month
