New Years Hunting Resolutions!!!
« on: January 02, 2011, 12:35:18 AM »
Thought this might be a cool thread to start.  It could be anything hunting related.  I'll start:

My resolution is to do everything I can withing my power to outsmart and kill a 150"+ whitetail...that's what's really missing from my trophy room right now that doesn't need a special permit to get.  Haven't decided whether it will be with a rifle, bow or muzzleloader. 

While I'm at it, please lord get me one of those special goat permits!!! :chuckle:

Mine is to break my 26 year sheep, moose or goat losing streak.   I'm over due for an OIL tag!

I feel you. I have wall full with a couple 148 gross and below. I see and have pics of plenty of 150+ but have yet to get an opportunity. 2011 will be the year.

Spend more time in the field camping, hiking, fishing and hunting with my family/kids.  I figure the more I am out there, the less time in front of the computer or TV at home.  Also pass on the traditions and skills that were taugh to me by my father and grandfather.

Mine is to get one of my 6 year olds out in the field more with me, less about getting something, more about spending time with them in the woods, I'd love to also go on another sheep or moose hunt, so hopefully one or more of my buddies will get lucky in the draw this year.

Hopefully draw my late mule deer tag. After this year I will have 9 points. I hate waiting.
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!

My resolution is to use the Governor's slightly opened door to help craft an efficent , responsive, logical, private property oriented department.  I know I am a dreamer from another planet but that resolution for a world record WT is possible given the right tools (see the first sentence).

My main goal is to help my youngest daughter (11) to get her first buck this year.  My buddy and I have a really nice whitie that we have been watching grow for the past few of years picked out for her if he makes it through the year.  I also have a good 3 point blackie waiting in the wings as a back-up.

Spend more time scouting, and start using game cams, to find that big white tail i've been looking for.
I hunt for peace of mind.
