Goals for 2010

[Bassett]

Bit early but what are your hunting goals for 2010?

Bull moose with the bow, worth a try not expecting a draw for rifle..
Bull elk with rifle. (dad got it 2 years in a row, my turn )

I will have a bull moose tag in my pocket for bow, but ill take a deer too. Anything with the bow will be my trophy of the year.

hopefully out-do dads 6x6 elk haha!

Going to try for the bison tag, if its on again. Knowing our luck someone in Donny's family will get it

[sheepguide]

Spring Blk Bear
Mountain Goat in B.C(maybe an Elk also)

Bighorn (Cadomin Draw I Hope) have two 3 week hunts planned plus day trips from home.

Archery Moose(General tag unless drawn in 420 or 422)
Archery Mule Deer
Whitetail Buck as usual.

Maybe find a general bull elk some where as im a couple years away from my zone 300 Bull Tag

Also hope to get my wife a ram this year! Plus this will be her first year archery hunting so hopefully get her on something with that.

My goal for 2010 is pretty simple. Just want to get out again and spend sometime afield with friends. An animal is just a bonus to me. But a 180+ whitetail would be nice.

[bingo1010]

well lets see.....

for me----another mule for my collection, a big whitetail of course, probably take a nt sheep, hope for a ram, pray for a goat

my wife--- a whitey better than this years,

my oldest boy----anything at all for his first animal just to see the smile on his face!!

[Lone_Wolf]

The giant wolf that wonders the woods around here.

[Stop Staring at my Rack]

There will be five of us hunting in our family this year,so of course, firstly the plan is that everyone gets a good whitetail buck.
My daughter and I would like to try spring blackbear with a bow. We also are thinking of going for Caribou this year.
I myself want to get a bigger whitetail buck (I know where he lives ) Hopefully with a bow.
I also will be going after mule deer with a bow, the two I have my sights on are nice, one is a typical, the other is known as Medusa for a reason, either one will do. (Ruth will get the other one anyways, she usually gets the bigger Mule deer.)
We will also going for elk and moose with a bow.
God willing I will get drawn for antelope.
Both girls shouldget drawn for camp Wainwright too. So hopefully they fill their tags.
Thats should fill the season in nicely..............

Get LeanMeanHuntinMachine through his Hunter Education Online course

Try to convince LeanMeanHuntinMachine not to remind me every day as to how many days left until hunting season....

Try to convince LeanMeanHuntinMachine not to hunt, "shoot", and pretend to skin our Yorkshire Terrier....

On garbage day, hide the pellet gun so that LeanMeanHuntinMachine isnt sniping magpies in the front yard....

Live long enough to accomplish the above goals.

PS: Bassett, if I croak before the years end, there are about 400 hunting magazines downstairs in a rubbermaid container that I want you to have......

[Scotty P.]

My goal for this year is to NOT CHOKE AND PULL THE TRIGGER when I find my 2010 WT Buck. I still can't believe I didn't get that big one last year.

That plus my first deer with a bow, but this being my first bow hunting season Im not sure if I will connect or not.

haha i used to do that but with my buddy and his beagle. Bait with treats and shoot with the nerf rifle

wow. i havent even put a dent in reading the other 500, thanks i really appreciate the good reads. we'll have to go for a shoot sometime soon.

[Backwoods boy]

Shoot a booner whitetail come November.
Shoot first mule deer if I pull my draw (hopefully a biggun as well)
Kill something with my new Longbow.
maybe go to Westlock for elk.
and last but not least maybe hopefully spring black bear hunt with my brother.

Good luck with goals 2-4......

Numbers 1 and 5 I think you are safe with though.... Well at least living long enough until hunting season.

Wish I'd have shot more game this year. After LeanMean gets in the field, there won't be much left for old guys like me...

[LiegeRiver]

My first Bighorn ram - everything else will take a back seat to this until after31 Oct;
Archery mule deer;
Archery or rifle WT;
Calf moose for the wife at Camp Wainwright; and
Cow moose for the oldest daughter - she should get drawn this year.

[Walleyes]

Just hope to get back up north for a Moose hunt this year and to be able to do it with my boys.. It isn't looking good for that,, they are getting to the age when life has other obligations for them. It is tough sometimes when you are young and first starting out,, life starts to get a bit complicated. But that is my goal just to get back up in moose camp with my boys. The size of the moose is really not important but a 50" would be a bonus I wouldn't be disappointed to take advantage of...

[BrownBear416]

Still to much research to do before I can answer this question

I shall let you know

The Lotto 649 could really change my plans ..

[benrudmik]

Im going on my first sheep hunt this year with my father in law. I am just excited to hunt the mountains and see some amazing country!!

Plus a decent WT would be nice this year, I always seem to hold out for the big one and end up shooting a freezer buck the last few days. THis is my year for a wall hanger, I can feel it in my bones.

get that HMR heated up!

caribou would be my wish, or goat draw!!

[Rackmastr]

My goal is to kill myself a legal ram with my bow in WMU 410 and hopefully draw my wife an elk tag and get her a good first bull.

Also lookin forward to helping a few friends with tags and maybe going on a good moose hunt with my Dad and another friend and his Dad.

[Rocks]

My goals are a ram, and first kill with the trad bow. And as always put enough meat in the freezer to feed the family for another year...

[timba]

150+ archery whitetail,170+ archery mule deer and a 19+ archery black bear.At least a shot at an elk with the bow.

timba

[JohninAB]

roger for sure. Heated it up bigtime at the farms in Saskatchewan this summer. We will have to pencil in a day or two down there as well next time.

[hunter10]

I would like a 190 mulie.

Whitetail with either bow or rifle (has to be bigger then 140)

Spring black bear with either bow or rifle.

and maybe an elk

[rhuntley12]

To put some meat in the freezer.

[yamaha 1]

Get my draw on Muley buck (Waiting 3 years ) and slam one of thoughs big guy's I'v been watching and the Bear,Moose,Elk,and Whitetail will be iceing on the cake

[hwkirby]

Can never plan to far ahead! I have always found that if you don't make plans the stuff that you think and dream about just never seems to happen. Unless, like Rackmastr said earlier, "the 649" would sure help with those plans! Myself I hope to go on a cougar hunt (the feline kind!) and I have a self guided moose hunt planned this year with Andrew Lake Lodge and a couple of good friends of mine! I really like these kind of hunts because if the hunting is bad the fishing is probably pretty good! Good luck to everyone and I hope your plans and dreams come true!

[Duk Dog]

We'll see what shakes out in the draws for the fall. (come on 438 sheep or mtn goat) I'm hoping my dad plans on hunting again this fall, so possibly a moose hunt. Always a highlight spending time in the field with my dad in the fall. I'll be hitting the hills again in search of a ram this fall, now that I got that ewe monkey off my back. I'd love to do another trek into the Willmore but I'm not sure if it is in the cards or not for this fall. As always there are hunts with friends depending on what they may have drawn.

[shedcrazy]

Chase rams in the Wilmore again....maybe year 4 of sheep hunting is the one! Hope to take an elk and speed goat with the bow. Try and finally get that monster buck of my dreams! Help get my wife a monster bull moose.
