    It's been a while...

    The last time I have shot a "trophy" buck was 1998. In these last 20 years, I have only shot three bucks. Some of that is due to my son getting of age and hunting off my tag, but a lot of it is because I am just too darn picky. Plus, it has never been about the kill, but more about just being out there.

    This past weekend was our first time this year to the lease to hunt. I didn't do any hunting with my bow, and I skipped opening weekend just because I had so much to do around the house. Anyway, enough was enough, it was a must I get to the stand or I was going to explode.

    Long story short, the last thing I ever expected was to pull the trigger on my first hunt of the year. I have never, in my life, shot on the first weekend. In a perfect world, I don't want to shoot until the final weekend of the season. This in itself has cost me to "eat my tag" more than a few times.

    Well, when this one walked out, a decision needed to be made. I watched him for 15 minutes contemplating whether to pick up my gun or not. The issue was not the buck itself, but just the timing. "Am I really going to shoot, not only this early in the season, but on my very first hunt?"

    The answer ended up being, "YES".

    Of course, the first question I am getting when I show the picture is, "How wide is he?"

    So let's see what the green screen says on the spread and the score.
