My plans so far are to hunt:
Turkeys in Missouri, Kansas and possibly Nebraska.
White-tailed deer in Missouri
Pronghorn in Wyoming.
If I get REALLY adventurous I might try my hand at ducks or geese here in Missouri plus some small game here and there.
Black bear - Manitoba
Mule deer. - Wyoming
Whitetail. - Illinois
Still putting in preference points for elk in Wyoming.
Rabbits and squirrels for about another month. Coyotes and predators. Turkeys in the spring. Fish in the summer. Whitetails come fall. I really hope for another hog hunt this year too.
Jake
Deer, Turkey, Rabbit, Squirrel and Woodchucks. All Michigan Grown.
Bear, Blacktails, mule deer, and elk. All here in Oregon, same as every year.
as many as I can get away with.
Rabbits and skwerls already, pigs and javelina in March (TX), turkey (spring and fall), pheasant, grouse, goose, deer (WI), deer (MI), bear (CO), elk (CO), and that's it. If a coyote walks by during a deer hunt I will add it to the list. Might try woodcock !

Bears in Quebec, deer where ever I can and stumps locally.
Turkey and whitetails in Wisconsin
Elk and mule deer in Idaho.
Starting with bear in SK, (maybe turkey in Nebraska if things work out for a south trip), carp in SK, B.C. in goat or caribou, elk, mule deer, WT deer here in SK.
whitetails, turkey, and hog for sure. Possibly coyotes. All in Georgia.
Turkey in Kansas, Deer in Kansas and Illinois, and elk in Colorado maybe pig in Oklahoma. Rabbits and squirrels where ever I find them.
Whitetails and turkey this fall for sure. Possibly spring turkey but I've got to get better at distances beyond 15 yards.
Tree rats and bunnies are on the menu as well.
Javelina, pigs, red stag, all sorts of rough fish, tiapia, steenbok, blue wildebeest, blesbuck, bushbuck, nyala, gemsbok, zebra, whitetail, and turkey.

Turkey and elk are a given every year, whitetail deer if I'm lucky to draw and then grouse and snowshoe rabbits will hopefully be on the menu also. Next year i won't draw my preferred elk tag so I think I'm going to spend some time pronghorn hunting. I have a spot that is so so for both elk and pronghorn that isn't too hard to draw.
This year looks promising to me:
Spring Turkey in the Sierra Madre in Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Mountain Goat in BC, Canada
Carminis Whitetail Deer in Coahuila, Mexico
Texanus Whitetail Deer in Anahuac, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Hope I can share pics later in the year.
Lets see... This year it will be:
Stumps
Anthills
Mushrooms
...and more stumps :archer:
Big Game
Small Game
Water creatures.
Locally I will hunt:
deer
bear
turkey
woodchuck
squirrel
rabbit
coyote
fox
bobcat
Frogs
Carp
Turtle
Hoping for several trips this year
Sika in Maryland
whitetail in WI
Hogs in SC or Ga
Hogs and foam 3D's.
Some very exciting lists!
2014 taught me to be a bit less certain of any of my plans. But I'm hoping to pursue (in the order of certainty).
-KY Turkey
-KY Whitetails
-Idaho Black Bears
-IL Whitetails
-IN Whitetails
-Moose (AB) or Pronghorn (WY)
I should get serious about squirrels. I dearly love to hunt squirrels with .22 and air rifle but other than an occasional shot from my tree stand while deer hunting. It would be something to marry these two passions; squirrel and archery. I have not pursued squirrels with a bow since a teenager in the late 1960's.
Hogs in Ga.
Turkeys and whitetails in TN.
Elk in Co.

Mushrooms!!!
A common species encountered every year, yet I've never taken one. Definitely going to add to my list.
Will there be a mushroom grand slam ?
CHuckC
Never know... I do know I'll be heading to Montana for Elk in Sept... Possibly Bear if I happen to run into one (have every time I've been out there...). Then the standards here... Turkey this spring, deer and small game in the fall... Would love to get out west and do an Antelope/Muley combo hunt... Or back to AK for Caribou/Moose...
Turkeys - Wisconsin
Elk - Colorado
Whitetails - Iowa
Wisconsin
Hope everyone has a good year!

Elk and Mule deer in Colorado
Whitetails and Mule deer here in Kansas, which ever decides to give me a shot
Whitetails in Oklahoma maybe a pig if one desires to show up.
If time allows hopefully Coues deer in Arizona on a late season hunt.
Elk, moose, whitetail, Mulies, bears, these are the tags I alsways buy. Bunnies, gophers, grouse, and gonna try for a goose with the bow, a trophy goose for sure.
This year I have to decide whether to hunt pronghorns or sheep and whether to burn up my carefully saved moose points or not. I live in a wonderful part of the world for hunting.
Anything that is open season and accessible, and maybe fish too!
The draw tags are not out yet here, a few more days and I'll see what I get.
squirrel
I think Im done with deer
Turkey's in the spring, elk in Colorado this fall, and white tail here in NC.
Only turkeys and whitetails. Sometimes I wish we had more options up here in the up. I usually try for grouse once or twice a year as well.
Deer, Turkey and big old pigs....Oh, and if a coyote or bobcat steps out, an arrow will be on the way.
Coues and Mule deer, Javelina (AZ), Black bear (MB), Moose (AK), Whitetail deer (MI & IA). And who knows what may come up in the draws.
Deer, turkey, squirrel and squatch.
You western people make me sick! You with all your different species... :o
:bigsmyl: Just kidding. I'm stoked to get after what I can here in MO!
Squirrels, Rabbits, Coyotes, Coons, Turkey, Whitetails, and maybe even a gar or carp this summer.
Hogs in March, groundhogs, carp, whitetail, squirrels.
Ohio Whitetails
Texas Whitetails, hogs, turkey, small game and maybe Axis
Yikes, I forgot to add elk in KY if I am drawn.
