2011 harvest goals!

[cisco]

I havent seen thise posted up yet to my surprise, but with it being the new year I am ineresting in seeing some people's goals for this year!

Personally, I would like to take my first elk and first goat.

Start to begin the due diligence!

[sherpa-Al]

In order. Mountain Caribou tops this years list, archery mountain goat at close second, moose meat, grizz if I get a LEH and a couple of Black bears if I get lucky. My daughter is old enough to hunt this year, maybe she will fill one of those black bear tags.

Al.

[leadpillproductions]

For me it starts with black bear , g bear if i get leh
stone sheep , elk, moose, mule deer and then wt tails
shee i forgot about oct antelope hunt in montana

[5 spike]

filling the freezer when the season opens with deer and bear meat. leh elk would be nice.

[Ron.C]

Like to try and find/take a book class spring black bear with my bow,

other then that I just hope I get a chance to hunt this fall.

[Ddog]

Hopefully for me this year is going to be the start of a new beginning, getting the OK from the Doc's to start going hiking again its going to be:
archery goat, archery sheep, archery elk and deer.

[blindguy]

With only about 10 days a year to hunt the mainland my goal is to hold out for a 170 class muley or better.

Hopefully try elk hunting for the first time as well.

[Sleep Robber]

My first goal is to "ALWAYS" get my moose. Everything after that is a bonus to me. I don't know what it would be like to go without a freezer full of moose, I think I'd feel naked..:mrgreen: I dream of a nice bull elk hitting the ground, but as long as I bag my moose I'm a happy hunter.

[pg83]

Gonna have limited time this year...

Moose meat
Archery Black Bear
Mule deer meat

[cisco]

tons of archery goals! great. an archery bear would be a fun thing to do, too...

[yota]

For me it would be going to the island on a salmon halibut and cod fishing trip then come back to the mainland for some freezer meat. In order elk, moose, muley, and finally a nice white tail. Then come back home from my trip and do some duck and geese hunts with my brothers. All in all hopefully a good year.

[beni]

Elk
Sheep
Hoping to find the Mulie from 2010
Archery WT's (Buck and maybe a doe if freezer really needs to be filled)

[hunter1947]

For me this year if I don't get a bull LEH for a Roosevet it will be A large RME ,Mule buck ,whitetail buck..

[untilthelastbeat]

starting my season this year im looking for a north island 350lb + blackbear with my compound bow, then an archery blacktail if im lucky and i would love to take another moose this year. dont realy turn down moose when i see them so big or small doesnt realy aply. hopefuly draws come thru again this year. and after all that a mule deer buck would b a great end to the season :) good luck every body, cant wait to see these trophys as they come in.

[BiG Boar]

Sheep then elk. Any kind. Will be trying for all the rest, but those are the primary goals.

[pnbrock]

100lb halibut ,would be a release though just want a pic.

[kennyj]

Get my daughter her first bear. Anything else will be a bonus.
kenny

[dana]

A 195+ inch typical muley or a 220+ inch nontypical muley.

[whitetailsheds]

Help oldest daughter get CORE. That'll be daughter #2, one more to go!
Just starting application process for spring grizzly.
Apply for Dalls.
Plans to get my middle daughter her first Stones ram.
Caribou end of Sept.
Then come Oct, back to southern BC for second attempt at bighorns.
Elk, moose, and deer locally. And even with that, the focus will be my girls.....

[steel_ram]

A moose or an elk with a deer or two for recreation. I only need to fill my freezer, not the entire neighbourhoods.

[BromBones]

As always, head north for a spring grizzly hunt, and get that 9 fter that managed to give us the slip the last two years.

Any sheep or caribou hunting is up in the air as I'll be quitting my job in the summer to try my hand at a couple other things, so it'll be last minute if I go.

[whitetailsheds]

For me this year if I don't get a bull LEH for a Roosevet it will be A large RME ,Mule buck ,whitetail buck..

The way I've seen things going for you Wayne, I see a pretty good bull in your future!

[Blacktailz]

For me, it will be a island blacktail deer that goes over 110.......and a rosie draw.......:twisted:

[.300WSMImpact!]

Hope to beat my mule deer this year 170+, hope to get a whitetail 150+, and I have tracked the elk and plan to continue to as well, and get my first elk, a moose LEH would be nice, and to get my nephews to shoot there first animals this year

[BCrams]

A 195+ inch typical muley or a 220+ inch nontypical muley.


:mrgreen: Will hold you to that this year!

I havn't sorted out my goals yet but I know whichever species I'm hunting, I'll have fun and hunt hard.

[dana]

:mrgreen: Will hold you to that this year!

I havn't sorted out my goals yet but I know whichever species I'm hunting, I'll have fun and hunt hard.


I've had that same goal every year for several years now. I didn't say I was good at acheiving my goals. ;)

[deeks1989]

My goal for this year is to get a nice 300+ bull elk, 150+ mule deer, and 2 whities over 135". For predators it would be nice to get a 6.5 foot black bear, atleast 3 coyotes, a bobcat and a lynx.

[moose2]

My goals would be to fill my lynx tag with a good tom for a life size mount , and to hang a few wolves on the scale in the peace wolf hunt contest. I hope to achive this or at least some of it in Jan/Feb 2011.
Then its on too a 14 day mountain combo trip at the end of Sept with hopes of a wall hanger in at least one of these four species goat , caribou , moose or stone ram. I hope to hold out for a bigger ram this year I have one thats close to 38" but only 12.5" bases and one thats 36" x 14.25" bases and one in the middle of these. I would like to break the 40 inch mark, but would not pass anything bigger than what I have. Then at the end of Oct I hope to tag a cow elk for the freezer. ( I think its the best wild meat there is). For Nov I would like to see my 14 year old get her first buck , and my wife would be happy with a 150" for the wall. If I was on my own I might take a wall hanger, or sausage buck, but if there with me my gun stays at home. It will be up to them.
These are my 2011 goals , holidays are already booked. Good luck to everyone in this new hunting year and good luck on the LEH draws.
Mike

[nwalter]

Since my first year all I got to do was butcher the father in laws little spike WT.
This coming season I would like to start off with a spring black bear.
The fall would bring a moose and an elk plus a couple deer. My Wife should be able to go this year as the little one can stay with the grandparents.
now hopefully i get all my ducks in a row and get the property I want and my shop with cold room to hang all this meat

[Duk Dog]

I suppose this doesn't really involve BC, but a bighorn ram here in AB is my main priority then possibly WT in northern AB. A few potential draws to consider in Wyoming as well.

[BCbillies]

40" Stone . . . will settle for a 38"
11" billy . . . will settle for a 10"
7' silvertip mountain grizz

Looking forward to being the sherpa and cameraman on a double header on billies with two flatlander friends!

[Jelvis]

I want to get out early this year, make a camp area in the mu I already picked and get a small moose for meat early and a young deer and then try for a big mule buck over 160 typ or monster non typical.
Jelly Vis ... I want to start real early this year .. fair weather hunting ..

[NitwiT]

Personally, I'm setting my goals high this year, I'm aiming too.....

put meat in the freezer, be it bear moose elk deer coyote duck goose grouse etc.

[Rattler]

Grizzly if drawn and as always a monster Muley.

[snareman1234]

Legal Stone Ram, doesn't matter how big

170"+ muley

A billy goat if I get drawn

[bsa30-06]

First up spring bear,then a muley.The rest will depend on any LEH draws.

[bcbrez]

Spot and stalk spring black bear with my bow. Help my wife get a turkey with her bow. Then it's all about getting an elk. Oh and going for my LEH trophy mule deer hunt in Alberta with my Dad and Brother. Would love to take down a monster but as long as it's a good fun hunt with them it will be great.

[moosinaround]

Elk, preferrably a bull! I would like to find a nice black bear for my son to harvest, maybe a spiker or 2 point bull moose. I am going to try to find a whitetail bigger than 150" to beat my 2010 buck. Most of all, I am going to get into the mountains this year, and backpack. I don't even care if it is hunting, I am going to spend some time getting "HIGH". Moosin

[pnbrock]

Sorry Bartell .. You're going to have to set new goals - I beat you to him.

http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/Tipsbrock/elk.jpg

[gutpile]

My goal would be a 6' + color phased black bear, LEH draw for old griz, trophy mule deer, moose draw, rosyelk draw, anyone would make me a happy man Lord willing.

[Tikka270wsm]

7 foot black bear in the spring, 2 big blacktail bucks in the fall, maybe a whitetail or mulie from the EK. Also would like to find more time to load up on Hali's and Springs in the summer. Didn't get out once last year and it was a big fish year.

[todbartell]

Sorry Bartell .. You're going to have to set new goals - I beat you to him.

http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/Tipsbrock/elk.jpg

[porcupine]

Moose! Goose, ducks, grouse and pheasant and maybe quail and a big brown trout from the Bow River this summer! Can't forget tyees either!

Hoping to get a Spring gobbler too. I will probably put in for a Goat LEH as well.

[chinook]

RC

[sarnold]

[killman]

I'm going to see if I can go another whole season without canceling a tag. It can be done!

[JRG94]

Goat if LEH works out, and want to get away for a couple early season alpine mulie hunts

[killman]

[Rubberfist]

First priority: Stone's sheep with archery.

Second priority: goat #3 with my 338LM at no less than 500 yards.

Third priority: caribou by whatever means presents itself.

Fourth priority: grizzly (if I get a tag) by whatever is safest!

Fifth priority: whitetail with my 338LM from as far away as the conditions will allow.

[ryry4]

Cougar, bighorn and caribou. Here's hoping.:mrgreen:

[huntersam]

moose or an elk, and to get some hunts on tape.

[frenchbar]

No harvest goals for me:) never set goals for my hunting .as long as i get out hunting what ever.. enjoying the outdoors with family and freinds its all good :-D

[coglark]

steven

[luckynuts]

W.

[cisco]

awsome guys.
one post reminded me - to get some action and shots on game with an xmas gift - go pro camera.

Anyone ever use one of those suckers to self film their stuff?

[.330 Dakota]

Spring Griz if I get the draw, then goat, then big mulie

[Ourea]

Same as it is every year, .... a 400+ elk. Have several in the 340 to 365 class but that true "monster" bull has eluded me. It would be a dream come true. No other animal floats my boat more than giant bulls.

[Tyler21]

40" stone sheep

[358mag]

Mulie doe need to cut a tag

[anypointwilldo]

Build on what I learned last season and get my first animal! Oh yeah,and Any point will do!

[guywitha270]

1 meat grouse would be nice!

[sneg]

Last week just scheduled my entire year by hunting/fishing activities, species and locations.
Program min : moose,elk, black bear, 2 mule deers, 20 grouse, 20 geese,100 ducks... LOL
Program max: LEH griz if lucky to draw and find , caribou if lucky to find a keeper, Hawaii hog,may try goat and sheep.
Geez,my vacation so small...

[Skull Hunter]

I'd like to get a wolf this winter, have put in lots of time already but I've only seen 1 and my hunting partner took it.

really hoping to get out for a sheep hunt, goat if I get the draw and caribou. If none of those work out then it's on to moose.

[cavebear]

going on my first sheep hunt, and still looking for my first big kitty cat :-D

[italhunter]

My goal for the next season is a couple of firsts. I hope to shoot my first 6 point bull elk, and my first 4 point buck.

[tuffteddyb]

just getting out will be great,meat will be a bonus!
hopefully get my 1st 4 point muley,the wifes first moose,got my first one last year,so its her turn.
and a few leh's would be nice.not greedy.moose draw would be great,be happy with a doe draw,if we can afford it would love to try elk hunting!

[Cbuck]

Spring black bear trip possibly Grizz also if tag comes through.
Would like to take a 4 pt muley.
Whitetall.
Immy moose if horse shoes are placed right and no bull tag.
Fall black bear if opportunity comes along...for more italian bear sausage.

[Islandeer]

170 ish muley, 150 ish whitey, 110 ish blacktail.

40 lb spring,100 lb hali. Oh and an Island Rosie ... :(

[dutchie]

Personally, I'm setting my goals high this year, I'm aiming too.....

put meat in the freezer, be it bear moose elk deer coyote duck goose grouse etc.


Whoa whoa whoa!!!

Coyote?!! Bigbre took a bite not the entire freakin' dog!!



My goal is to fill the prized LEH (sheep or goat) and a nice big typical Mulie

Dutchie

[SHAKER]

May the govmnt. crap'ola bless me with a grizz tag then yep!
Moose\ Caribou hunt with wife in Sept.
Sheep hunt up north again.
Sask. Whitetail of worthy.

Regardless, Turkey, Elk, Immy moose, M Deer, WT Deer, walk around look'n at Cali's and maybe help someone out just for fun, spring bears, back in to the cats next winter, that list should take me into July.... good time for salmon fishing Ive heard? Note: they're not in order and any excuse is good enough for me to get out in the bush.

[killer]

To finally get a island elk draw ,spring bear of course .Going to hold off on the blacktails unless hugeamongus decides to show himself before the rut.Then finish the year with a monster muley.If my wife gets herself another job maybe a late season whitetail trip.

[gerrygoat]

Since I came up empty last year on my hunts my harvest goal this year is TO GET SOME MEAT! :) deer, moose, elk or goat I'm not fussy.

Would also like to get a Grizzly finally and maybe shoot the big Blackie that I have seen the last two springs but haven't been able to get.

[BCbillies]

Don't worry . . . we'll start arranging the bear derby . . . cut you some blackie tags . . . and start filling that freezer! :wink:

[Shooter]

I'll probably look for a blacktail or two. I would really love to try and get Jr. onto a cranker of a blacktail next season.

[eastkoothunter]

Would love to get that elusive grizzly bear LEH this year. Apart from that, stone sheep and something with the bow

[winchester]

for me i wish to get my first black bear , and hope on geting a nice 5x5 black tail that i have spoted along with its brother that is going to be a new 4x4 for this up comeing sept bow hunt .

[shoot2kill]

big black bear to punish them for stealing my white tail from the tree last fall, then a whitetail to replace the one that the damm blackbear got then, an elk or moose and maybe a nice tender whitetail doe , and a whole bunch of pink salmon for the smoker.

[Whonnock Boy]

With all the talk of sheep lately, I might have to take another crack at them. I know what kind of commitment this takes. Time, money, and spousal approval is always the determining factor when it comes down to it. We will see what happens.

As usual, I would like to fill the freezer with an elk or moose. As far as my ultimate harvest goal, a monster muley has always been my goal. Preferably a gnarly non typical over 200.:-D

[kwasky]

Spring bear, Mule deer, whitetail deer, moose (hopefully after 4 year), Sheep (if drawn), goat (if time allows).

[Big Pops]

I want to do better than last years one 2x3 muley and get a 6+ mule, spring blackbear,an island blacktail and ide like to maybe go on a couple week trip to the kootenays for some mooses with my dad!honestly though a couple deer would suite me just fine :) ....well and the bear and moose on second thought.

[tonywtc]

100lb halibut ,would be a release though just want a pic.


how do you catch and release a halibut / what kind of pic are you trying to get? you pretty much have to kill a halibut that big before you bring him in the boat or it will destroy your boat.

[pnbrock]

easy pic would be over side off boat face only ,gaff used for the release.

[snareman1234]

easy pic would be over side off boat face only ,gaff used for the release.

Definitely do-able.

I guided a couple over 100 this year, the 184 layed beside the boat like a baby, could have easily photo'd and released....but I hammered him with the harpoon:wink:

[deezday]

Well for me i hope to fill the freezer again with some moose meat and then try my hand at some nice blacktails to top it off. the anticipation begins!!

[lightmag]

number 1 want is a goat!!

then hopefully my second elk

moose is usually a given but i really want a 50" plus

A muley in the 160+ range

[~T-BONE~]

-To get an leh roosie..
-take anearly season meat buck out of reg2
-connect on 140 plus bt or one with gnarly bases or character
-180+ muley
-get 100% succes this year guiding again

[frenchbar]

to get a bigger blue grouse than i got last yr. hopefully a world record ..anybody got 500 grand lol

[BiG Boar]

I've been told goals are stupid. So mine is to go out and spend time in the out doors.

[BCbillies]

I've been told goals are stupid. So mine is to go out and spend time in the out doors.

Car camping is a lot cheaper and relaxing! :mrgreen:

[BCHunterTV]

I'm hoping tree a couple nice bears for my girls to harvest, September if I'm LEH lucky a Mnt Goat. October/November fill the freezer with deer then onto Cats

[Brian011]

I'd like to shoot my biggest mulie to date, then maybe get my first whitetail. An leh moose would be nice and also wouldn't mind getting one of the kamloops sheep draws, highly unlikely but someones got to get it

[killman]

500 lbs of gopher meat to start. Then anything with an pointy stick. Was a failure last year, hope not to disappoint this year.

[Alpine Addict]

Gunna try and shoot a goat that doesn't fall off a cliff this year.

[BlackwaterMerc]

My goal is getting my Fiancee out and stalking with me. It hasnt taken nearly as long as I thought it might to get her comfortable shooting big guns, she just finished her Core, and who knows buy her some accesories and an outfit, I hope shes elbow deep in blood a couple times before the year is done. She'll do anything I do. and she likes knives more than I do. Shes a keeper..

[.45-70 guide]

Black bear this spring, a blacktail this fall, and spend at least 75% of my weekends in the hunting or fishing! oh and i would love to get a wolf also.:mrgreen:

[tankster]

i have a busy year planned going for high altai argali early in the fall then my return flight takes me to ft nelson from there im doing a 2 week fly in for stone sheep then straight to the yukon and hunt moose in the rogue river wich i am stoked for!!!!

[Flingin' Sticks]

I'm still holding out hope that school and finances will allow for a hike in sheep or goat "hunt" (first time, so honestly it'll probably be a walk with my rifle and not a sheep to be found), but it's looking less and less likely for another year, soooo...

Finally going to suck it up and chase spring bears again, only this time I'm taking the bow. Immature moose and Mulies are always up, and I won't be turning down any WT. Basically, I'm just into filling the freezer.

[Iron Sighted]

This is easy, I get to set the bar real low as this'll be my first hunting season ever. Sooo...anything I can legally hunt. Realistically, I'd like to get a nice muley, some grouse, and I'd like to try to get a moose if I can get a draw as they have to be the best tasting meat I've ever had(to date, still many that I've yet to try, hopefully I can put a few more on the menu in the coming years).

[bowhuntersparks]

i am looking forward to taking a booner black bear this spring fallowed by pope and young moose. all with my new mathews extreme

[edchunterfreak]

Hoping to get Leh for a Rosie elk on the island then a moose in kootenays would be nice.

[eaglesj]

I would like my wife to get an elk, but we are also going for a young moose (neither of us have shot one).

[TherealSLYFOX]

I'm hoping for a sexy goat with my pal Johnny best partner a guy can have hey man!
