2026 Goals

Get both of my knees replaced and hopefully get back to hiking and biking without extreme pain or restriction.


Depending on the knees, hunt Barbary sheep with my bow.

Due to decline in “western” hunting opportunities, start looking into DIY whitetail trips.
 
Make memories and take trips with my family (wife + 2 wonderful little girls), increase physical fitness level, grow leadership skills and behaviors at home and at work (starting a management role in corporate career in Jan 2026), read more non fiction books, wrap up some renovation projects in our home, start a nice garden this spring
 
Read more, scroll less.

Get archery practice back on track and shoot a nice big Wisc whitetail.

2500 miles of human propulsion- run, hike, bike.

Build myself a nice comfy late season gun deer blind.

Hunt a new state.
 
I’m just waiting for the draws to happen. I already have an Ontario bear hunt booked for June. Also have an Oregon Roosevelt elk hunt booked along with a KS whitetail this fall.
 
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
Putting in range time to practice going from gear packed in my bag to putting a shot on target. I like practicing the rush of getting set up to make an accurate shot while tuning myself
 
To try to find a way to use my limited talents to help people. I work a meaningless factory job and I would like to do something that actually matters. Be less angry, less judgmental, closer to God. Try to be more appreciative of what I have. If I can make a little progress on all of those things, it will be a good year.
