I'll list some weird hunting goals that I have, I have alot more but just gonna list some. I would be interested in hearing yours.
1) spend a week in the National Forest with a buddy and take a deer from the ground with a bow, either one of us
2) take the entire month of October off of work to bowhunt in VA
3) take the entire hunting season off of work
4) harvest an elk in southwestern Virginia with a bow
Yours?

Go back in time and see if I can take a T Rex with my .50 BMG.
Well, you asked.

I like to be a crow sniper. I then got to watching several crows feeding and would wait till 2 got lined up. When that got to easy, i would hold out for a triple, after i accomplished that enough, i wanted the quad. After a couple years of trying, i nailed four with one shot. I think 5 is almost impossible though...............

Go on safari with DogYeller
over the course of the year make a concerted and serious effort to pursue each species of BC big game (depending on lottery draws, of course),... even if, or especially if I'm not successful on all of them... (two or so animals would pretty much fill the freezer, so you get the idea...:)

A few years ago, from Oct 1 to Dec 15th I was only home 13 days, the rest were spent hunting. I you have the opportunity, I highly recommend it. It definetly re-energizes the soul.
I really only have two hunting goals. To see my niece take a nice buck is one. The other is to face a coastal brown bear at 30 yds with my .30-06 pump and see who comes out on top.

I would really like to see both of my boys get a branched antlered bull elk.

You woulda' loved workin' on the fish farm I used to work on! We used to get huge flocks of em' and they would make a mess getting into the feed. Smart lil' buggers, could even get the lids off of the garbage cans we stored it in! Got good n' pissed at em one day and grabbed my .243win. Waited until lots of them settled on the railings (all lined up real nice! lol) and let her fly! Total of 7 confirmed after adding up all the body parts! Distance to first crow was 156'. They got real wise after that, and would take off if they saw anyone bring the gun out! They could even tell the difference between a rifle and carrying a broom stick like a rifle! Too smart for their own good! lol

One of these years, (while I'm still in somewhat decent shape) I'd really like to take a bull elk out West bowhunting. I've read such neat stories in some of my hunting rags and seen some on TV.
I'd also like to nail a big gobbler bowhunting as well.
Aaahhhh. So much hunting, so little time...:rolleyes:

I would like to catch a catfish so darned big I didn't have to lie about it.
I would also like to take an Elk with my 45 colt carbine.

load a cut up elk in the back seat of my jeep wrangler and drive all the way home with the top down.

I usually set a few small goals prior to season. For example, taking a mature buck with a bow (considering the limited hunting time I have). Also, I wanted to take a deer with one of the guns I hadn't shot a deer with yet. Or take a deer with a handgun. I ended up getting a few of the goals accomplished. Long-term goals would include taking a coastal brown bear, and hunting for at least one of the "Big 5" in Africa. The only thing I had a chance to do, and didn't, that I would like to try is taking two whitetails with one shot. I had 3 lined up at about 50 yards, but passed on the shot because two were yearlings, and the third was probably a 1 1/2 yr old doe. I had tags for all of them, and it would have been perfectly legal, but they needed time to grow up.

My hunting goal is simpler: Enjoy the outdoors with sons/sons-in-law/grandkids. If I get a shot, that's a bonus. Skinning, gutting, and hauling.... that's work.
