2014 Hunt resolution!

Primary goal: Call in a big WY elk for my 73 year old father.
Secondary goal: This spring, call in a tom turkey for my 13 year old daughter.
Tertiary: Draw one longshot tag. in NV, UT, AZ.

2014

Figure out how to get myself out west for a hunt in the mountains, which I've never done.
Use trip as motivation to get in better shape and drop some pounds..
And to enjoy the time there as much as possible no matter the result

Soooo... what'cha got on the '14 hunt docket ~ resolution wise?

Rugged mtn fresh exercise? Whiskey instead of that nasty rum? Kicking that slacker of a hunt pard'ner to the curb? Changing that caliber? Getting that camper for those creekin bones? Going to horse pack or backpack that stove & tent into the back country? Take a crack at a bear? Fine tune your gopher sharpshootin? Yadda, yadda, yadda...

Sytes... you kill me. You picked all my resolutions in your post.
Buying a .270... yes
applying for an Alaska bear hunt next fall....yes
looking at a camper..... yes
thinking about a horse pack trip.... yes
Kickin' my city slicker huntin' partner to the curb... NO, he's my cousin

Other resolutions (maybe)
a) go back to Pennsylvania (my homeland, which I have NOT hunted in 33 years) and hunt whitetail.
b) maybe get another wirehaired pointing griffon
c) hunt more
d) maybe go down to part-time work
e) find a house in Florida (near good fishin and hog huntin) as an investment and retirement.
f) hunt more with my brother.
g) find something in politics to agree with Ben Lamb on :)

probably lots more, however, lets not over do it

good luck to all

my first goal is to recover in enough time from my wooden hip install next week to have some vacation left over to hunt.

third kill a bull
 
1. Shoot the first legal elk that offers me a shot with my bow
2. Kill the elusive mature mule deer! (normally shows up the next week after I have killed a small one)
3. Become a more proficient spotter of animals and spend more time glassing than hiking!
4. Continue to enjoy hunting partners successes.
5. Try not to kill my wife with my style of hard hunting, tone it down for the newer hunter.
 
1). Make it out to MT for the 2014 HT bear Hunt
2). Bull bow kill
3). Kill one of the big whitetails in my backyard that got free passes this year due to broken tines from fighting...... :mad: 10pt has brkn every tine off, other 10pt broke off rt beam.
4). Finish a triathlon before Sept. :hump:
 
I've successfully done my '13 goal of exercising all year which I plan to continue.

-Next it to try to get my nephew who turns 8 this year his first deer, came close in Nov but couldn't seal the deal.

-Then try to get my pops to go out hunting w/me as he doesn't hunt much and never really did but he's the first one to take me hunting and how I got hooked on it when I was a youngin'.

-Shoot my first turkey this spring(never been so it will be a first time public land thing for me)

-Shoot my first muley this fall hopefully in MT.

-And finally eat healthier and continue exercising all year long.
 
Build another house for my family and have enough energy left over to hunt more than the pitiful four days I hunted this year.As always....keep trying for that double digit Brown.Look forward to 2015 when the dust has settled.
 
Lose weight.

Teach my kid to shoot a bow and try to get him on a deer.

Shoot my first turkey and do it with a bow.

Convince my wife to let me hunt out of state.

Figure out the Wyoming draw system and fish and game website.

Hunt more.

Shoot a mature whitetail with a bow.
 
1. Get my oldest son shooting well enough that I feel confident in letting him shoot at game.
2. Get game in front of my son for him to shoot.
3. Keep wife happy
4. Attempt to accomplish #3 without using any leave sitting on a beach.
 
1. Get in better shape and drop a few pounds
2. Get my FIL in front of an antelope for his first western game animal.
3. Try to sneak in a week long Alaska caribou hunt or first trip to Montana for muley.
 
#1 "Attempt to accomplish #3 without using any leave sitting on a beach. Yep, hunt wherever the wife wants to go. Start with Hawaii in October.
#2 Get off the recliner and wear out the batteries in the new Foxpro!
#3 Get my brother off the couch to hunt something in/near PA.
#4 Get up to WA to hunt something with my son.
 
My '14 is looking good. My wife has decided to hunt again and yesterday she asked why we don't do more shed hunting and scouting as a family! So my goals are;

Keep my wife interested in hunting and scouting
Lose weight (seems to be a theme around here)
Tag something with my bow
Fish more, hunt more, work less
 
My first dream hunt started when I was in High School back in the mid 70's. To hunt sea ducks in Alaska. I finally pulled the trigger and I leave in 2 weeks for Adak.

Then take my wife backpacking on Kauai for a month come May.
God willing !

I've been going after my dream hunts for the last 3 years. I'm 51 years old, my wife says I'm going thru MANapause.
 
My goals for 2014 are 1) to hunt in Africa, 2) hunt deer in Montana with my sons and 3) draw my first ever Wyoming antelope tag, that antelope tag has been an elusive one for me.
 
1st erary- Get my daughter comfy with the new 7-08.

2nd erary- Positive hunting experience for the 12 year old daughter.

3rd erary. Hunt with Pops.

4therary. Stick with the plan of big bull only or tag soup. The last two years of tag soup have been delicious.
