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

 

[pointingdogsrule]

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
the dog

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.

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

 

[glass eye]

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.

 

[fishing4sanity]

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.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

Get my hips and lower back healed up so I can hike and hunt elk proper.
