After getting a stand put up yesterday I was excited as heck to hunt this area. This evening was my 2nd hunt of the year. At 6:15 this evening I spotted a nice buck coming from the cat tails/swamp on the trail that I was set up on. I just put this stand up yesterday. I got up from my seat and grabbed my recurve and got Into position so I was ready. The closer he got the more I knew this was going to be a real tough decision on whether I should take him or not. After getting within 20 yards my mind was finally made up. He came by me at 15 yards and never knew I was there. I'm pretty sure he's a 3.5 year old buck. He's all of 17" wide with ok tine length. His G1's were In that 4" range and his G2's were In that 8.5" range. His G3's were about 5". I figure he'll score In that 127" range or maybe a tad less. Hopefully next year I can see this guy again as I let him go this evening In hopes of a better buck. I know we've got some bigger and It's still plenty early yet. If I go without a buck this year, It won't be the 1st time and It won't be the last time. It was a great hunt and still very rewarding for myself even though I didn't shoot this guy.
