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.
