#1 Animal 2010?

[BiG Boar]

Which animal is most consuming your thoughts and dreams for this year? Some of us got cool draws and some didn't even put in. Now that spring bear is nearly over, what are you thinking about? Some people it's one animal for most of their lives. What's on your mind this year and Why do you want it?

Mine is a big bull bison. Because I don't expect to get the leh again soon.

[spear]

My first mule deer, a wise man said "dream big and dream often", so im looking for a 4 point

[mcrae]

Mulies for me. Just a cool animal to hunt here in the W.Koots...

[frenchbar]

Mulies for me. Just a cool animal to hunt here in the W.Koots...

x2 will be hunting muleys from sept to dec and nothing else!

[peashooter]

i guess an immature moose, since i am on gos this year.

[deeks1989]

The odds are strongly against me.....But I am a hardcore hunter(out every weekend and after work...) but anyways it's the 4-08 Salmo sheep.

[elkdom]

I'm lookin at BEAVER this year,,,,

[.330 Dakota]

Goats, Big Frikin Goats, Goats over 9 inches type Goats Grrrrr

[yukon john]

got a leh goat, which I will try to turn into a gos sheep hunt (hey it could happen). But Ive spent 5 years hunting the same mulie spot without sucess so I'm sure this is the year, already been scouting up there 3 times this year and I cant wait till november.

[fuzzybiscuit]

Old moss-back Island Blacktail, four up top with eye guards. Maybe this will be the year.

[OutWest]

For me it's gotta be elk again. I love summer but the days can't go by fast enough.

[Pioneerman]

Bison, and since Moose / Elk / Deer and bear are open any of these would be a nice addition

[325 wsm]

got a permit in a bow only zone here in the Yukon for dall sheep and would like 1 that scores more than the current world record of 171. The area is capable of that class I just hope I am....and that's my number 1 animal this year. As you can see I'm not asking for much.

[SHAKER]

For me it would be a Stone ram....... might happen this year but who know's if I'll be able to go. Main goal of this year will be to have my Dad finally take a Cougar under my hounds. We've done almost everything else but this one would really make my year.

[TyTy]

4 point blacktail!

I have an east kootenay trip planned for moose, elk and deer. but it will always be big blacktails! anything bigger than the year before. if you set the bar low, you'll never be disapointed :) JK

also, excited about taking my first blackie. I'm keeping the bar high on this one as i already let a 6' + bear earlier :S , not going to settle for anything less.

[mrc]

Big 8x8........400 b&c elk from Gold River OOOOHH YEAHHH

[dana]

Looking forward to watching my 12 year old daughter pull the pin on her first deer. With some serious homework this summer, I should be able to find a few good bucks for her for the opening day of youth season.

[scallywag]

ELK but i am ready to take a nice deer too

[knighthunter]

I'm lookin at BEAVER this year,,,,

You looking at it or for it? You've never had one yet?

[knighthunter]

I've always wanted to hunt & shoot a mulie, so I better get in shape and maybe get an area picked out.

[BlacktailStalker]

Never really have a single target.
I have a goat LEH I hope to be successful on.
Hopefully get my stone (third attempt)
Hopefully get after rocky mountain elk like most years, always looking for a "big" one there but if its a 6 it dies so 340"or 240" I dont really care, its the hunt I go back for year after year. We love elk meat.
Chance at a big mulie is always in the cards on all of the above and in the back of my mind.
Every year I want a big blacktail... some years get one some years dont.Never get too wound up about it anymore after that ******* PG66 started posting those toads that make ours look like pigmy stick head deer :lol:
Would LOVE a poke at a freak nasty coastal one day.
A good friend has an archery roosevelt draw in my backyard, really, that is the best part of my fall and I hope to help him succeed. That will be satisfaction in itself. 2 others want/need help and I will do what I can so the thought of seeing more than one of those beasts hit the ground this fall is exciting.
MRC; sorry, he's already tethered to a tree ;)
Always tree lots of bears/cougars so there will be more of the same as far as that goes.. Maybe tree "the one" for myself ? Thats always a fun option but not a 'goal'.
Like to get my brother a cougar though.
Actually if I get one hunt with my brother that would be the highlight of my season as 3 years straight now it hasnt worked out for timing where we could both go on one.
Likely take a lynx and bobcat this winter if I make it out for them, looking forward to that, those crafty little stub tails.
Same buddy with the archery elk has a late season moose so should I be on that hunt it'll be a mulie/moose/kitty combo hunt.

Other than that, I'll just be hunting, nothing out of the norm really :lol:

[sakohunter]

It would be my LEH Mountain Goat. Looking forward to a different type of Hunting.

[seatoskymiles]

a moose, any bull in 5-02 b or any spike will do

[talver]

Going up with Tetsa river outfitters hoping of get into the 60 inch club with a big bull moose and any sized 6x6 rocky mountain elk is hitting the ground. The summer is great but can't go by fast enough fingers crossed for a dry cool last two weeks of september.

[Brett]

goat RM elk,moose, grain fed mulies or whities or both because I can :) In that order

[Jordo]

A couple of bull moose for our group hunt this fall up near Valemount would make me very happy. Ever since we found out that we got our Draw its all I can think about. I cant wait. Jordan

[bear buster]

moose in freezer aug 15, big elk for shop wall sometime first week sept, big ol berry patch bear in oct, and november madness, booyah big bucks for the wall

[Steeleco]

Getting my daughter her first animal at 11. She tells me it's to be a bear but I'm certain it will be the first one she stands a good chance on. All the others will be a bonus.

[quadrakid]

If i don,t pull the trigger on my shared moose hunt and we bring home two moose i will have had the best of seasons. Going hunting with my son and son in law for the first time.Hope one or both of them connect. Will be a great trip regardless.

[watson721]

ELK for sure

[Rattler]

Monster Muley for me....

[killman]

I would just like to stick a sharp stick into something. Oh and successfully call in and dispatch a yote.

[BCrams]

Monster Muley for me....

Whats your goal? 200" plus? Non-typical? Typical?

[Phreddy]

Moose or elk for me.

[Bighorn hunter]

Looking forward to getting my buddy his first stone aug 1st, then down to southern bc to kill a 160 plus cali, then to the nwt for the last couple weeks of sept to get my 1st dahl and a book mountain caribou. Should be a banner year:)

[tuffteddyb]

my first moose!is no#1 priority!
help pack out a lot of them,but never have shot one.
then maybe a 4 point muley would be nice.

[dutchie]

I am just starting to shoot some archery and I am hoping to get up to the EK for any elk Archery Season.

If that does not pan out a Big Mulie and 2 whitetail does!!!

Dutchie

[Sitkaspruce]

One that fits nicely beside the salmon, halibut, snapper, ling and crab.:mrgreen::-D

It's all about the freezer this year!!!!!!:wink:

Cheers

SS

[Rattler]

Whats your goal? 200" plus? Non-typical? Typical?

Either way I wouldn't be too picky:-D, although I think a non typical is more unique.

[behemoth]

This is the year
Mountain goat on GOS:shock:

[browningboy]

A B&C grouse for me....bison is a close 2nd.:neutral:

[325]

I'm going after a Stone in August...definately my #1. A close second will be an attempt at an archery mountain goat here in the WK

[Caveman]

A big pissed off bull elk!!

[Brew]

Big 8x8........400 b&c elk from Gold River OOOOHH YEAHHH
Thats on my wish list oct 1-15th

[Caveman]

I'm lookin at BEAVER this year,,,,

STEVEN:mrgreen:

[mark]

There will be no rest for me till I kill a region 8 elk this year. :twisted:
Then Ill take a day off, then keep hunting till I shoot a bigger mulie than last year! :-D

[boxhitch]

feral domestic sheep
I here there are some wandering along the Bonaparte on crown land, without permits. Probably spot some Calis in the same area.

[gbear]

White seems to be the color for me this fall. Going for Dall's in the NWT in a month, and have a local mountain goat LEH. Then of course there is moose GOS, elk GOS and deer.

[Shooter Jr.]

Well I took a spring bear, next would be grouse with my dad's new 20 gauge then would be some Island black tails. Going to be a great season.

[elkhunter1]

Guess ? ELK
Waiting for Surprise in E.K.

[proguide66]

I have a repeat hunterfor 3 weeks this fall...i'm REALLY hoping to get him a book moose/grizz,300plus elk and maybe talk him into a ram...have a few other hunters for sheep ect...BUT...my mind is REALLY on a 160" pls blacktail in Nov..god let it happen!!!:-D

The sweet scent of burning pubes shall haunt your nostrils for eternity!:twisted: NO vegas trip for YOU !

[Elk-Aholic]

There will be no rest for me until I catch the guy who tried to steal my trail camera. What a low life! Don't think B&C has a category for pinheads or will allow that for an entry so I guess I may have to post it here to warn others of such a heartless b**tard that's in the woods.

Otherwise, geting a buddy of mine his first animal.

that sucks asss...whats worse is I'll guarrantee there's some pin head on here that has either stole one er knows someone that did!!:evil:

[sheep.elk.moose fanatic]

stone sheep hunt with my buddy and his son 15 years old trying to get him his first ram and are second, then elk,caribou and moose with buds from Campbell river..cant wait ...to see if we break the 54" curse with moose.

[Johnnybear]

For me it's meat all the way. Got a group moose hunt up Williston Lake way and hope to connect on anything legal that will put meat in the freezer.

Can't eat the horns or the fur:wink:.

[Gateholio]

I;m going to try for a "big" moose this year. All the mose I've shot have been good eating but smaller caliber rack. ANd I've got a grizz draw, so hopefully that will happen as I've applied for 15 years for grizz and got 2 LEH only...

And I'd love to hunt elk with Bartlel this year. DOn't really care if I get an elk, but it will be fun.

And I've finally got pics of a big blacktail that I want to chase. He lives a bit south of Whistler, so I'm going to be driving a bit in the dark this November!:-D

At least I can hunt the mornings and then head back up the highway to work afterwards and it is in cell range, so I can clal in late if I nail him! :)

[moose2]

My goal is a good winter stone ram. I have got a couple in August now, and would like a long haired one. I will also be watching for goat, caribou and moose on that trip.
Mike

[IronNoggin]

Never really have a single target.

X2. Yes, there a few I'd REALLY like to see, some again, some new.
This year won't be all that much different in the Ongoing Quest.
Whether it be a Great Stone, Blacktail, Moose, Goat, Sheep, Grizz or Whitetail, I will haunt them all. And although I'll be packin' the paper for each, and wandering where more than a few die of old age, the only time I Focus on "is That this year's #1 for me" is when we dance. Certainly hope to drop the hammer on some Grits. Be nice to see a Biggie or two, and of course will be leaning that way. But also as usual the real "trophy" is simply in the doin'... :wink:

Cheers & Good Luck this coming season Folks!

[hunter1947]

I want a 390+ Rocky MT Elk this year it probably won't happen but thats my dream bull for a life time..

[Tikka270wsm]

Island Blacktails and Mulies in the Caribou!

[2x4x16]

I already to feel the pressure to capitalize on my sheep tag in 3 -17. Hunting buddy and I will never draw for that one again, therefore we must make every effort to hit it hard as we can. First scouting trip is in 3 weeks.

[Kody94]

We are supposedly meat hunters by vast majority, but you'd never tell by this thread. ;)

My target is 40 days of hunting between Aug 1 and Dec 20.

[stoneguide]

Hopefully my first out of province hunt for myself. Going to try for a goat and watch my buddy shoot a 40" ram.Just waiting for our application results.

Then its back to Alberta to hunt bighorns. Hoping to get my wife her first ram.
Ill hunt some whitetails and will probably shoot another 150" as I seem to be stuck on that number for the last few years.
Then going to film some cougar hunts.
Baiting some wolves near home and maybe calling a few in this year I hope.
That should be my fall unless drawn for Waterton elk for Jan. and Feb.
SG

[JimmyJ]

Mountain Goat, 7+ days in the alpine. And a WK Elk.

[Caribou_lou]

Big twister stone sheep for me. Looking for a 38" Ram or better. Dreams will come true this year.

[rifleman]

got a permit in a bow only zone here in the Yukon for dall sheep and would like 1 that scores more than the current world record of 171. The area is capable of that class I just hope I am....and that's my number 1 animal this year. As you can see I'm not asking for much.
lucky bugger. not far from home. do u have one tied up yet?

[BigBanger]

Muley, a big one that I can hang in the living room.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Starting with sheep...then on to deer locally....then on to goats.

SSS

[DEXTER]

Hopefully this year brings my first big game animal. I'm going to target mule deer this season.

[The Hermit]

Grizzly by longbow...

got the fall draw, check
got back-up shooter, check
got the stones, ???

[GrandA]

next year 2011 when i win the leh for grizzly, the biggest hugest grizzly monster i can find.

[Angel]

For me I would like to get my first WT. I have not really bothered with them in the past as Mulies seem to be the deer of choice. This year I would like a nice WT for a shoulder mount. Hopefully it works out.

[cruiser]

Blacktail.

Been scouting an area past few years but always had a full freezer by Nov, so hadn't seriously tried to follow through. Next year I plan a move away from the coast so a hard earned blacktail is all I want from 2010.

[1 shot 1 kill]

start with my very first goat hunt as i got my draw this yr..then onto immature bulls...and trophy mulies as usual in Nov!! last yr was great, got my immature and 180 mulie..this yr looking to repeat with the exception of adding a Goat!

[BiG Boar]

So did you get your #1 animal? I leave for mine in 9 more sleeps!

[porcupine]

YES! I got my goat!

[pathfinder55]

Got my goat also

[BiG Boar]

Good on both of you! Its always awsome to think back of how you had thought about something for so long, and wanted it so bad, and when it all comes together....its just Awesome! 4 more sleeps for me.

[Kody94]

We are supposedly meat hunters by vast majority, but you'd never tell by this thread. ;)

My target is 40 days of hunting between Aug 1 and Dec 20.


So did you get your #1 animal? I leave for mine in 9 more sleeps!

Did not even come close to my target, or get my #1 animal.

[AT&T]

have not been able to break 160 on a whitetail yet. several mid 150s but cant reach 160. They are around but this country isnt Alberta or Saskatchewan

[warnniklz]

Big em effin mulie... since the only things I've shot this year are things that can fly. But more I read about sheep and goat hunts those are slowly starting to creep in. And a life time dream is to shoot only one huge grizzly

[TyTy]

My first whitetail and i got him :) a nice little 5x5

thought there was one more weekend of the island deer season, i thought wrong, first time in a few years i won't cut a blacktail tag... o well

[BiG Boar]

Well after much effort, I didn't get my big bull. Settled on a nice cow after passing up several decent bulls.

[jdmck]

#1 animal for 2011 is a bigger 4 point that I got this year but to help my buddy get it

[stitch]
