We went out tonight,pretty quiet at first, got to be about 6:15 a buck came in mingled around a bit he was a six with the widest spread i have ever seen on a six at least 16" he was wider then his ears. He kept looking toward the swamp area so I figured there was a doe in there low and behold out popped a thin racked 8. The two bucks walked toward each other and started sparing for about 10 seconds. They walked of into the swamp and that was it.They were only play sparing but it was neat to watch. I was surprised that my son didn't shoot one of them, he has been bowhunting for 4 years and he has shot a 4,5,6 all in that order.He told me he was holding out for a 8 this year, I asked him why he didn't take the eight and he said it was to thin he then said the wide 6 almost got it though.I just turned,smiled and started walking to the truck,my young son has become a bowhunter.
