Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What is your outdoors / hunting goal for 2020 ?

I have pretty simple goals this year

1). I want to find my first arrowhead - so I’m learning about that

2). I’ll build a rifle for the kid, and possibly nephew / nieces (I’m a smith, not a big stretch here... already bought a couple ADL’s as the platforms)

3). I’m going to build a box blind to keep my giblets warm while deer hunting.

Other than that Continue Duck, Deer, pheasant & Quail hunting

2021 I’ll put Elk back on the radar.

As much as possible whenever possible.

To hunt deer in Alabama.

If it’s brown, it’s down

My daughter’s orthodontist is trading me venison for braces. A lady DDS at that, one of those “whole food” type persons.

Strange , but God must have put this deal in my path is the only the way I can see it.

I do have to process it for her, no problem there either.

Rock on!!





Renegade50, no more throwing those deer off in the ditch at the stop sign. Just bring them out to my walk-in cooler.

Mine is very simple. To bag a whitetail buck. I haven't shot one since 1985, and I'm due! Of course, as my buddy says "you can't shoot one sitting on the couch". Actually, I could if it were legal. We have so many deer around here. A simple goal for an old man.

Goal #1 To get to hunt with my son. It's a long trip up here from Indiana for him.
Goal #2 To see my son kill a nice deer.
Gioal #3 To see the other members of our group fill their tags too.
Goal #4 To be healthy enough to hunt gun, archery, and ML seasons.
Goal #5 To make it back out east to hunt out of my camp in Pennsylvania
Goal #6 To fill a tag.

My goals shifted considerably about two months ago when the covid scare killed off my elk hunt on a NM ranch. I’ll be hunting antelope with our son, his first “out west” hunt. Hope he kills a good one and I’ll be more than happy for any nice one that comes along after he scores.

Looking at a mule deer hunt in place of the elk hunt...a decent MD buck has always been on my bucket list.

Killed a monster whitetail this past fall...,I’ll be a little more relaxed in the stand this year...no pressure for a huge one.

To kill a deer on the property I bought a year ago. Went through last season without shooting one. I was about to shoot a decent buck with my bow last year but a 3 foot section of dead branch fell out of the tree next to me just as he was stepping into the shooting lane at 30 yards.

To get fishing in NW Ontario!!

My goal is to get my son to arrow his first elk.
And me to do the same, along with arrow if a whitetail on my land in ks.

To be fortunate enough to take to the field once again is my main goal. I plan to attend my hunting clubs opening day dove hunt and pig picking event - that is the ceremonial kicking off of the autumn hunting season. I'll hunt whitetail - two does for my freezer and a wall hanger if one presents itself. I plan to duck hunt with a group of friends on Currituck Sound in December - made my reservation last December. Would love to get behind a pack of beagles on a rabbit hunt this season (been several years since I've done that - but I think I can make that happen one more time). I will attend a nice quail hunt or two at a "plantation" style hunting club in the southern Piedmont section of the state. Finally I will get out after another Gobbler in the spring. In between hunting I will fish all I can (FW & SW) especially on the new boat I bought three weeks ago and have nearly gotten the engine broken in.

Kill schit.
Bring em to slumlords meat for braces program.
LOL!!!

Ditches been getting full last couple years.
LOL!!!

Way to jump start his his ass.

This might make the day better for sure .

Thanks slum.

next trip out should reach 500 kills on p/dogs.....

usually keep a rough count... 75-80 per trip

223AI on table

Oh......
Hopefully get a shot at the starsky and hutch buck on slumlords place before he does....
LOL!!!


I pray ta god the stupid azz keebler dad and son dont get a gift from god and stumble into a shot on him either.



That buck got EXTREMELY lucky last year I didnt get another 1 or 2 seconds on him with the crosshair.
Has ta be adding another 10 to 15 inches on him this yr.
Solid 150 to 155 class buck at least this yr I bet.


LOL!!!

Kill stuff. Fill the freezer.

all I look forward to is some meat hunting. Venison and turkey getting low in the freezer

I have 2 shorthairs that are going to be starting their prime this fall. I have long wanted to hunt Kansas, but have heard the bird numbers are down and I am not sure where to start.


A friend and I are hunting deer in North Dakota together for the first time in 6 years. Don't care if we get anything, just happy to be getting out.

Put my dogs on the ground at lest 100 days.

I had hoped to make it to BC late August...
