I'd like to kill an elk with my bow this year. It'd be my first elk. I'd also like to be extremely lucky again in the permit app's and draw a great permit again...in which case I resolve to scout my ass off.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

To keep telling myself that it IS possible to get a branch antlered bull in this state east of the cascades!

To help other people have enjoyable elk hunting experiences...and to show some restraint and hold out for a good (mature, 6+ yrs old) bull, even if that means coming home empty handed.

To dedicate as much time as possible learning about the habits of one particular blacktail...to get at least 2 trail cam pics of him...and to spend at least 5 straight days hunting him in the rut.

Same New Year's Resolution as the last 2 years...
...to finally draw a Montana Speedgoat Tag and fill it...
(I had no friggin' idea that an antelope tag would be this hard to draw in MT  :bash:  3 years, still not drawn... :bash: :bash: and I am not trying to draw a particularly tough area either... :dunno: )
I've got points though.  THIS has GOTTA be the year... :dunno:

To get one of those damn elusive muley's where I hunt, I would love to get at least a 4x4. Maybe I should actually do some scouting this year... On the flipside how bout fillin 2 or more of my tags....(Haven't had much luck, last buck i saw in season was a 2x2 blackie in Bonney Lake that I shot in '09)
Bull Riding and hunting are my life!!!

Continue losing weight to make covering ground a little easier and more fun.  Limited time to hunt next year, so I want to make it more worthwhile experience.  Lost 30 lbs last year, put back on 5 over the holidays, so the work is in front of me.

to find out where coastal native hunts ! Really just  to put myself in the best possible situation both physically and mentally for hunting season . Take every experiance in and learn from it . As I get older try to slow down a bit and do more work with my optics and less with my legs . Oh yeah make enough dough to buy the Gov tags !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
