I have established hunting goals that require me to not only take but learn as much as I can about certain game animals. This is all in an attempt to become an informed, knowledgable hunter and outdoorsman. By targeting these creatures with archery equipment, I believe it will put me close to the animal, in its environment. Below are photos of the ones I have been successful with as well as blank spots for the ones I have not. They span both large and small game, birds, and fish. Number below species is the number taken by bow, the number below the picture is the year of the one pictured.
