    I will start.  I want "Ole mossy back"!
    I want a new rifle with scope.
    I will purchase bowhunting equipment.
    I will be in the woods this season.
    I want to come out of the woods safely, without being shot at by some
    irresponsible idiot.
    I want the anti's to crawl back under the rock they came from.
    But most of all, I want that rack that I have been waiting on.

    All I want, which is'nt much, is to break the B&C record of the largest
    White-Tail buck ever taken in history.
    
    Then, only then, will I feel I've accomplished something.
    
    Then I'll have to travel the country attending and speaking at deer
    shows. Well it's a tough job but someone has to do it.
    
    Oh well, maybe I'll settle for a spike so I continue working for DEC.
    
    What do you think?

    	Good luck Rick!  Not to doubt your abilities, but I've got a 
    feeling you'll need it   :')
    
    	All I would really like is two things :
    
    	First to continue with my bowhunting luck (3 deer in the last 4
    years, two of them bucks), and....
    
    	To take my first 200#+ buck by tracking up in Maine.. Give us snow
    Nov. 10th/11th
    
    - Rob

    lets see....
    
    try this on for size,  a triple double... 3 bucks in 3 states, all with
    a bow...  i'm getting close...  all of them in probably the toughest
    states to hunt... ;^) MA, NH, VT
    
    Good luck to all... fra
    
    

    All I want is a deer!  It doesn't matter in which season,
    I Hunt Em All Here In Mass.
    
                     Good Luck,

    Last night I was watching my Buckmasters hunting video, and read my
    Buckmasters magazine, and then I dreamed of a perfect heart lung shot
    with my bow on a perfect symmetrical 8 pointer.  I woke up in a pool of
    sweat!
    
    I want my dream to come true.  By the way for all you Georgia hunters,
    this year's "Buckarama" is on August 17.  I can't wait!  This is better
    then going to Disneyworld.
    
    71 DAYS UNTIL BOW SEASON!!!!

 I want to get my second deer this year. I want it to be bigger than the first,
with a heavy enough rack where I have to contemplate getting it mounted. :-)

 Also, I wouldn't mind gettin' a few more days of hunting in before I get it. 
:-)

 I also want a peep sight for my rifle.

 The Doctah

    Less than three months! auuuggghh I have to practice and reload
    and get in shape and browse through catalogs and...
    
    
    that's hardly enough time!

    
     I'm not trying to rub it in or anything like that BUT, I only have 42
    more days (Aug 23rd) until Archery deer season opens !!! 8^)
    
     Hunting large velvet racked mulies in northern Arizona, I can't wait !!!!!
    
    
                                                   Mark
                                          
    

    you're not rubbing it in.  Since your hunting season starts before
    mine, I EXPECT to see you start the '91 harvest note.  Go get em.
    Right now, I am off to Jamaica for a week, then when I come back, it
    will be time to start practicing with my bow.  Then it's the Buckarama,
    Then it's bow season.  Then I get married (933.)  That's why I am
    getting into bowhunting this year.  But, I will remain a bowhunter.
    It's a damn shame that getting married is getting me into bowhunting.
    I should have been a bowhunter a long time ago.

    My wife and I are building a house in Hampton, NH that is surrounded by
    approximately 120 acres of woods.  There's a heavily traveled trail that 
    runs from these woods through my lot and across the street to a swamp.
    Looks like I'll have a convenient place to take a stand before and
    after work this year.
    
    What a drag, eh?  :^)
    
    Mark.
    
    

    
    	Where was it you were going to put that stand Mark?  I seem
    	to recall you telling me to picture you doing something
    	while taking aim with a bow.  ;^)
    
    	Clay

 All I can see is Lefebvre running out of the crapper, pants around his ankles
trying to see if he hit the durn thing... :-)

    Youse guys slay me!

    All I want is to find that buck in November that has been carousing
    my back yard for the last three months....
    
    
    Then again....  my back yard has over 100 acres   8-)
    
    
    Greg

    Our yard is only 125 ft. wide down near the road (900 ft. square up
    over the mountain, though).  
    
    Yesterday a small spotted fawn came bouncing down onto the back lawn 
    while we were out putting water into a small child's wading pool.  
    The doe was nowhere in sight and I hoped the fawn would turn around 
    and go back up, but instead it went down beside the house and (just 
    missing a speeding car) crossed the road and went down to Pond River 
    and the extensive pastures & woods across the street.  
    
    I think it is old enough to survive by now, isn't it?  (At least 
    there'll be water and food.) 
    
    Nancy

    
    
    Nancy,
    
    Other than people, cars, fence-lines,coyotes, pet-dogs(the worst), the
    fawn should do o.k.
    
    BTW: The Doe clan and fawns should stick together for at least a year
         if not more. Even if the mother-doe has died of some mis-hap
         recently, the young deer will seek out it's own kind and they'll
         form a group. A group is safer as there are more nose's, eyes, and
         ears to protect them. This deer was most likely born between
         April-May, they mature quite quickly so it should be able to
         take care of it self.....but most likely it's with the mother
         as we speak.

    I thought that I could at least make it till July before the hunting
    bug would bite, but alas it hit in June, actually it may never have
    worn off from last year... ;^)  Anyways, whats been making matters
    worse, is that I've been seeing deer all over the place in Mass... and
    hearing reports from everyone else stating the same... it seems that
    the deer are everywhere, and to add fuel to the fire, my kids and wife
    and the neighbors have been seeing 3-5 deer in the apple trees behind my
    neighbors house. (RIGHT BEHIND my neighbors house) 15-20 yards behind
    his house, 30-40 from mine...  This morning I leave for work at 5:45
    and see not 1 but 2 bucks eating apples, so I grabbed my binocs and
    snuck up to within 15 yards and got a pretty good look... 1 nice
    forkhorn and a beautiful 6-8 pointer... they must be in the process of
    changing coats, as they looked kinda splotchy...  impressive in velvet!
    
    My neck is swelling!!!  Fra  

    
    	For all you Vermont Hunters....  We had the mildest winter in 
    22 years - since 1969!  This was touted in the papers over the weekend
    and in the Vt. Sportsman.  I saw 6 deer one evening last week, one
    6+ point buck (couldn't tell if it had brow tines).  looks promising;
    time will tell..

All I want is:

	-To see a good size deer on opening day.
	-Hunt all November
	-Get that good size deer on the last day
	-Have fun at the camp
	-Not get shot at
	-Have my wife healthy so I can spend Nov in the woods.


Jim

    
    	-To get a large buck on opening day of muzzle loading season in NH
    	 so I can bird hunt the rest of the week in camp and take it easy.
         ( I want that buck to be bigger than the one that commited sucide
           on Joe last year  8^)....)
        -To get that buck thats been eluding me in my back yard for a
         couple of years now.
    	-To plain have fun like always

    re.20 Read that in a local column on Vermont, lookin' forward to
    October 5th!
    

    re - .17 & .18
    
    I saw them both this morning (I think the same ones, 3 lots north of 
    mine about 1000 ft up the road in a small pasture).  
    
    Hope the buck is around come fall.... 
    
    ;)

    All I want this year is a chance at the 236 lber's brother who had
    the nice full rack!  (as you may recall, I had the 10'th largest
    deer -rifle- in NH last year, with the smallest rack - 4 pts)

    
    

    
    	In yesterdays Burlington Free press, it was said that this years
    Bow kill was the highest since 1979 - over 1,500 animals taken..
    In addition, the November buck kill is over 8,000 animals and climbing
    with an expected final kill number @ ~ 9K!  Another mild winter and 
    we might have another banner year in 1992 - lets hope so!  
    
    Just an Fyi - Rob
    
    
    P.S. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing doe permits in Vt very soon.
    

    Doe permits in VT???  ooooh man,  anyone know where I can find a decent
    HO vest???  ;^)
    
    Fra

    
    
    re .27
    
    Don't know if this will make you feel any better, but all firearms
    antlerless hunting in VT will be done OUTSIDE of the regular 16 day
    Nov. firearms season.  A law was passed last year to place the
    antlerless hunting, by permit only, in the muzzleloader season.  This
    change was based on a survey and subsequent deer management meetings
    held in the fall of '89.
    
    Being selfish (I'm having so much fun being the only person in the
    woods right now) this will ruin what attracts me most to the present
    muzzleloader season.  Oh well, it will only last so long...
