2026 Goals

[TopherDave]

What are some of y’all’s goals for 2026? I saw a guy in the plus 60 club who tries to get in as many miles a year as the year. Which inspired me to ask this question.

Writing them down is the first step!
Cheers

Deer hunting in Wyoming, antelope here in Colorado and deciding how to use my points for elk. Increase my walking/fitness and use my boat fishing more this simmer. I'm 84 now and realize I have fewer years hunting left and want to make the most of them.

I the winter I write mining permits for clients. I hope to finish a bunch this year, mine gold on my claim, get my hay in, cut a load of larch firewood on the Idaho border, buy a new horse and spend at least 32 days on horseback chasing elk and deer.

Doing my first trip out west. WY region A for deer. 27hour drive from the Atlantic ocean - hopefully see and have a chance at a mule deer, but overall just enjoy the journey along the way and be happy Im even able to experience the opportunity.

I shot my bow consistently for 6 weeks prior to my Bison hunt and had a blast with it. Put together a pretty good group out to 115 yards too. I want to continue to shoot my bow more. I’d like to shoot a 300 with my hunting rig. I’ve only ever shot indoor once that I randomly stumbled into, was a fundraiser. Shot a 267 but the indoor guys said that was a harder/smaller target. Heard this goal from a guy on a podcast and I think I want to add it to my 2026 goals. Not sure how long it will take, but just need to put more time behind the riser! I did hear one local target guy tell me he’s never shot a 300 either. So I assume it’s pretty tough!

I would also like to run a marathon again. Ran my first in 2025. I just felt really good. I was trimmer, sleeping and eating generally better.

You can fake many things in life but you can’t fake being a good runner or a good Archer.

Looking to do my first guided hunt out west, still undecided on the game. Elk? Goat? Caribou?

Punch my first bear tag. Found a beautiful color phase this past fall and couldn’t close the deal. We will see if he is in the same area come spring!
