2026 Goals

Looking forward to a Europe trip, varmint hunting and spending as many days as possible fishing the pacific! Highly recommend retirement, do it when you can. You’ve heard it before but there comes a time when you realize you need to take full advantage of the healthy years you have left.
 
Stay healthy

Help get my son started on his career path as a pilot

Help keep my daughter moving towards her career goals

Get out on a couple of camping trips with my kids

Work to keep my wife as stress free as possible

Get up to the mountains 1 weekend a month

Spend a week chasing elk with my bow

Shoot my rifle once a month

Get a weekend to chase muleys with the rifle

Consolidate my gear!

Next year is largely career goals I wont bore you with.

Probably buy a new house on an acerage, ideally the “forever home”

Do more long range positional shooting with a timer. The timed scores some of you guys hit in those drills is impressive.
 
Believe I will draw for Elk over in Alberta this year.
Season runs concurrent with the mulie archery season (I have the crossbow permit), so will likely pack both a Weatherby and my Matrix 380.

Need to find a new locale for whitetails - last one got shot right out. :(

And intend to spend a little more effort on our local Blacktails - passed on a few this year still hoping for a Big Boy.

Merry Christmas Folks!
 
Really hoping to draw an Idaho tag and get my first Mulie bigger than a forky… never hunted out of state or gotten a chance at a decent mulie buck
 
I just dipped a toe in tripod shooting this year, so this coming year it will be fun to dedicate more time to it.
 
I’m building a shop/garage on my Wyoming place in 2026.

2026 Hunting goals - explore a new area we came across this past fall in Colorado.
Should draw my deer and elk tags there in 2026

Probably use my 8 PPs for antelope in Wyoming

Ill draw my deer tag for my Wyo place.

That’s all for now
 
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.
I like your style lol. I’m looking for 20 lbs less with some regular walks and workouts. I’d like to find a way to bring my stud horse closer to home too.
Pheasant, quail and deer hunts in South Dakota, Texas, Kansas and/or Oklahoma on the wish list along with some prairie dogs/coyote time mixed in also.
Highlight of the summer will be some camping/horseback rides and maybe fly fishing on my best friends ranch in Wyoming. All seven of my adult children say they will be there for my 70th bash…
I also recently fell down the rimfire competition rabbit hole so I’m looking forward to getter better at dialing and reading wind…
