Don't fall out of a tree stand and live to hunt another day.

I don't have goals when it comes to hunting any more. I just enjoy each day in the woods thanking my Creator for the opportunity.

Enjoy myself and maybe kill one with the CVA muzzleloader pistol or the recurve. I toted both a few times last year and really enjoyed carrying them. That pistol on the sling tucks right under your arm like a dream. But I need the deer inside of 40 yards to feel good about shooting it.

1 Get my son out in the woods a little more. He'll be 4 in December.

2 Get my wife her first racked buck. She has killed some does and a spike.

3 Get back to the way I used to hunt. The last four years I've been taking it easy. I'm ready to get after to get after them again.

I'm after a big old deer that we call crabclaw.

Other then that, as long as we have fun and all make it out alive, I'm good.

I still have stiches backin out om my shoulder from an opening day duck hunting trip last year. Was benched from there on. I just hope to hunt

Get my little cousins first deer crossbow deer we hunted hard last year never had one within 40 yards

I hope to get my 6 yr old up close and personal to a deer. See some in the deep woods right downwind off a trail.

I won't lie ... personal goal to kill a really good buck I missed out on last year. Probably won't happen.

Early season I plan on just enjoying the crisp air, setting sun, and hooting owls, as it gets dark in the fall.

I hope we can have "goals" and still have fun. Hunting is not a life or death thing and I am glad we're all looking forward to spending time in the woods and making memories with family and friends.

Hey Matt, I know better!

1. Get my son on a buck during his break between semesters at AU.
2. I'd like to kill at least one good buck worth hanging on the wall.
3. Kill a good buck in Kentucky.
4. Kill a buck with my bow, which I've never done.

My goal: enjoy whatever time I get to be outdoors hunting and fishing

My goal is to catch and prosecute the poacher that I saw on my place last year!

Really I only carry one goal into hunting season and that is fill the freezer. I'll have fun while doing it without a doubt so after I put one or two nannies in the freezer it's all a bonus. Now I have two things on my wish list for this season:

1. Go on a bear hunt up in the mountains (I have a co worker that runs dogs so this may happen this year)

2. Take a mature deer (buck or doe) on public ground in both AL and NC.

Since I missed all of turkey season in both states due to an injury, I'm ready to spend some time outside. If I can do that, it'll be a good season regardless.

I always try to kill a few does with my bow. And there's a big high rack deer id like to get, but my number one goal is to kill a pig. I know to some of you that sounds crazy, but ive never killed one and ive just got the itch. Dont have any on my family farm or lease so ill be heading to wma's to try again this year.

Have fun.

I think my only goal this year is to be in the woods when Im able . My first born is expected nov. 9 so I'll cherish all the time I can get. Other than that, I'd like to get my first bow buck.

My goal basically is to thank and praise the good Lord every time I am blessed to walk into His creation...If I see a deer, Awesome...If I don't see anything, Awesome...Just being out there experiencing His creation is enough for me and a big buck is just the cherry on top

Same as always. Just hunt without over thinking it and enjoy myself. And I'll do this by hunting from ground blinds the majority of the time.

I want my son to get a nice buck for the wall in his room and I hope he kills every pig he sees. I think he likes shooting pigs more than deer.

For myself. I would like another buck for the wall from Alabama and one from Mississippi. Oh and I would gladly give up my two goals to be able to get my hands on a couple poachers.
