When I was 12 years old my father called up 3 beautiful longbeards to 25 yards, they danced, strutted, gobbled, spit and drummed right in front of me for what seemed like hours.. I was so enamored by the experience and fearful of them seeing my movement I froze and let them walk out of sight without ever touching the trigger of that single shot 20ga.

My goal is to never lose my ability to find that feeling in the spring woods.

My goal is to be a good Stewart of what I've been blessed with .

Pay off the house- Should be done in the next 45 days.
Get a new/newer tender for our VFD-Next 5 years
Fully fund kids college- Off to a good start. I have 5 and 8 years respectively till they are in college. I want them to have no student debt.
My wife has early onset alzheimer's at age 38 so I will be taking care of her and getting her to drug trials until she passes. We have about 8 years and the last few won't be good unless some of these trial meds work really well.

Good goals to have and it appears you are on the right path. Sorry to hear about your wife but let's hope there are some new advances in treatments  and one of the new meds help or cure. God bless!

Nativeks, My heart sunk when I read your post. I struggle to imagine such a scenario at a young age. I helped care for my  mother through terminal illness and you will need some help. Please allow people to help instead of burning yourself out. You have set some lofty goals and I admire your resolve. I will pray for your strength, wisdom and prosperity. There is no greater force in all creation than Love and all your goals are rooted in love. Be blessed

X2 ... My friend and lots of prayers for your wife and family

I'd love to lose about 30 lbs.

Life in general, I'm satisfied with staying the course.

So far as hunting I plan on practicing with my duck and turkey calls so I can be proficient as possible.

A goal I've struggled with is being satisfied with having "enough" turkey calls.

I live and hunt by empirical evidence.

I'm heart broken to read this.  While we all have our own opinions about hunting on this forum, I truly believe that most on here have good intentions and big hearts!  And at the end of the day we're all just one big disfunctional family!  And I think that it's safe to say that we're all pulling for your wife and family!!

My main goal is just to work and hunt... Work to get to be well and to get to yours ages and be well and hunt because it just sets my hearth on fire and I love it.
