Arrow a 3+ year old buck before the orange army hits the woods.

2020 goal. Simple. See deer most times on stand. And not just 1.
Dont need freezer meat. Just like seeing deer.
Let the kid shoot one. I may never shoot another deer in my life unless its stupid big. And I am cool with that.

2020 goals-
Between my dad and Myself I'm hoping we have 5 deer in the freezer by the end of the season. It would be nice to have my dad get a crack at a big one, but he isn't too picky so the big one better walk by before a smaller one does first.
I'm hoping to bag a nice 3 or 4 year old buck at some point in MN and then any legal buck on my place in WI. If one of my kids are with me in the stand I will shoot whatever they say is a shooter whether it is big or little.
I want to spend more time small game hunting and hopefully bag a bunch of grouse and rabbits plus a few bonus roosters, ducks and woodcock. One fat snowshoe hare would be icing on the cake since those are harder to come by. Oh, and a fall turkey.

For the record we are gonna revisit this thread when its -10 in January I don’t think I’ve ever seen -10. I might still be bow hunting in January. Hopefully the freezer is full and I’m shooting ducks then.

Maybe a doe early on. Then I’m hoping for a good buck in MN. I also have an Iowa archery tag (something mature) like a Big 8 for example?

I have been thinking about the fall season and my daughter just called yesterday to ask when rifle opener is.
I like to spend as many days on stand with an open tag as possible. I just like being there.
If we have plenty of tags, I would like to see us shoot a buck fawn and also take a doe from the place where I live.
As far as bucks, my wife and daughter can shoot whatever they want. At one time I used to follow the mature buck rule, but now I just want my family to have a good time. It would be nice if either one of the ladies gets a nice buck.
We don’t really need anymore head mounts in our house...but whatever happens is OK.

I have one other goal, I want to catch a Minnesota musky of any size. It has been well over 20 years since I have done that. I know where I should go to do it, but need a smaller boat.

3 of us have general elk tags for Wyoming. One of the three is my dad. Mom’s health has taken a turn for the worst. Not sure if we will cancel. Hospice was being discussed a week ago. She was released and doing much better as of yesterday.
