Successful Scouting Trip

Recommended Posts

We went out on Monday morning to scout out a new area for the youth hunt. My son Tanner and my niece Bailee both drew tags and this will be their first hunt. They are excited, as my brother and I.

 

Sunrise. We got to a good spot just as the sun was rising.

We got settled in and got to look over some great country.

When I we first sat down and unloaded our gear to start glassing I realized I had forgot my tripod! I was so mad at myself. I still managed to glass up 3 little bucks. Can you see them?

My dad found this shed while we were up there too. We think its from a younger buck with good genes or an older buck in decline. What do you guys think?

Man that shed looks AWESOME! In my opinion, that looks like a young buck because of the lack of mass, and I think that older bucks usually have some character and more mass but I'm probably wrong... Wouldn't be the first time!

Looks like a good time! Cool to see the kids glassing! My nephew doesn't really like glassing much..............he prefers to wait until I find them and then point them out to him!

Thanks guys! I am more excited for my boys' first hunt than for mine later in the month. I hope everything comes together for us. Good luck to everyone with tags.
