Our "just before legal light" buck sighting was all we saw. Good luck to those still out. Garrett wants to head out tonight. He mentioned the tree house so we could stay out of the wind. We shall see. I might squirrel hunt my way to the camera to swap cards and see if it is worth hunting.

The buck we saw is possibly the biggest I have seen from the stand this year. Definitely a 3yr old. Not enough light gathering in the binoculars to tell if he was any older or just how much antler was on his head. Nice frame. I would say with confidence solid 120's. Possibly bigger. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if he outdid his dad this year but I think a basket rack would suit him as well.

Last night looking at trail camera pics I mentioned the size of the body on one of the bucks. He looks at me and said "I don't care about that. Aren't we looking for the biggest antlers now?" I laughed because he said it with a smile knowing he was making a funny. I said "Garrett, you might be looking for antlers, but I am looking at the freezer. Big antlers works, but for a kid who has never killed a buck I think any bone on his head will be just fine." He agreed. Not sure how to take it. Part of me is proud. Bigger part of me wants to be sure I am not sending the wrong message about antlers. He can choose to be a trophy hunter later if he wants. For now I just want him to appreciate hunting and respect the animals.

Garrett decided he doesn't want to hunt tonight. Bummed me out because he was looking forward to it earlier. I bite my tongue. The last couple years he hasn't wanted to hunt much. I am not pushing him. If he doesn't want to hunt. . . we won't hunt. Guess I am going squirrel hunting at our 65 property. Swap a camera card and see what it tells me. If nothing else, I love some squirrel hunting anyway!
