After ending the year on a high note, I’m starting it off good! I decided to go back to Illinois and work as the Lead Deer Technician. I’m excited for the opportunity to work with two new technicians. I want to focus on getting the Albino Doe from last season. She has a broken collar on her (again) and we need to get a new one on her.
I’m in the process of applying and looking at work options for the summer.
This fall I’ll be focusing on my hunting outfit and guiding hunters here in Iowa. My plans include applying for every Big Game draw and most species (besides Pronghorn) again. I’m hoping I draw a Wyoming Mule Deer tag and a Oregon Roosevelt Elk and Antlerless Colombian Blacktail Deer tag for this fall.
My tentative plan is If I don’t draw those tags I’m still planning to go to Oregon solo for most of the end of September to hunt Roosevelt with the bow and then hunt Deer with the Rifle until I’m successful on a mature buck.
My Greenland Muskox and Caribou trip was cancelled due to the Outfitter going belly up.
I’m not sure how much Western shed hunting I’ll be able to go on or turkey hunting due to the possibility of accepting a position back east.
It’s going to be an exciting year yet again and I’m sure plans will change and I’ll end up doing more hunting than I’m tentatively planning. But, that’s the current plan!
Got a couple mounts hung up before leaving Iowa too.
