Nice goals oakcreek. So far I've done 2 out of 3 you have listed through out the years but damn it sure would be nice to do it a few times more, I've never hunted moose yet. My dad shot a Canada Moose here in Minnesota that use to be the Archery State record, its now #2. It has a 60 some inch spread. Last I checked it was the widest Canada Moose in the P&Y Book. He scored 172".

I think we get two Bucks again this year, so I want to get at least a 130"+ with the bow and then hunt hard for a bigger Buck over 150" with the bow. I also intend on shooting a few does for the Illinois Sportsmen Against Hunger program and paying to have them processed for the homeless food bank shelters etc.
I have most of the last week and a half of October off and the first two weeks of November so I intend on hunting a lot of full days this year. I also want to get out every morning that I can as long as the weather is decent for hunting. I might run up to Northern Wisconsin to hunt if things go well early in Illinois or get over to Iowa to hunt with friends.

I'd like to get a good 110"+ buck with a bow in PA and hopefully something 125" or better in OH. I'll also try to shoot a pile of does with my bow. Now that I've gotten one gobbler with my scattergun I'll be trying to get the second with a bow.

I figured that also. He looks bigger then 19 7/16. Hell of a bear regardless. Thats a neat pose in the picture!

I have a couple of new places to hunt with much greater opportunity for a wall hanger. I won't shoot a buck this year unless it goes on the wall. 130" or better. I will kill several does. This will be the first year I'm targeting mature deer.
