1. Just to enjoy all of the time I get to spend with my son in our efforts to get a mature buck.
2. Oh....and plenty of cold snacks after...around a fire.

1 biggish doe by bow - early - leave woods alone until firearms season unless taking son or friend
1 6 pt+ by gun.

My primary goal is to have my son (4yo) hunt with me a good bit this year. I have built and put up 6 new shooting houses just for that reason.

I got with 4 buddies and we leased about 800 acres a few miles from my house. They had been hunting some of it for several years, it has a higher density than my place and has produced at least one mature buck/year for a while. I have high hopes about hunting there this year.

I have a local buck at my house that I have let walk for the past few years. He was about a 120" 9 point last year as a 3yo, I would love to be able to kill him this year.

Just looking to have fun and play the game as much as work & family allows!

deer season goals:

kill a wall hanger with my bow
fill my freezer
have way to many whiskey drinks by the camp fire
Eat like a king at my hunting camp
hunt entirely too much
and not fall out of a tree stand
