tonite Lauren and I went out and saw 22 in that field. 2 of them were bucks, a little 6 that I passed up and a bigger one a long way off when it was getting dark. It wasnt big enough that I would have shot it, but it had a decent rack. Lauren had a blast! Man, does she have good eyes, too. She saw 2 does still in the canary grass at about 400 yards. I tell ya what, i was a pretty proud dad when I saw that in fact they were deer. It sure is fun sharing something like that with your kids.

So I got to thinking....would I rather share a very enjoyable evening with my kid(s) in a deer stand, see a lot of deer and nature.....or shoot a big buck? After a little contemplation, I easily determined I would rather shoot the big buck. What...ya thinkin' I am going soft on you guys or what??


What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
