Went out today for a few hours. To tell you the truth this is the first time I've been in the woods since my futile February shed hunts. I have been doing a lot of glassing from my truck though, so that counts for something.....right? 
The main purpose was to get my game camera going finally, and check out the mast. I took my bow in case I happened across any squills who would cooperate and give me a shot on the ground. I have to say that a 70# compound is slight overkill, but it's good practice. I jumped up 3 bucks on my way in, and one looked pretty nice, but the other two were typical basket racked bucks. I jumped them right where I found a cluster of rubs and several beds while on a shed hunt. hmmmmm, a plan is forming.
enough rambling...here's the trophy squill pic. ;D

I took a shot that had no backstop close behind, and with the thick spring growth I lost site of it. I hope to find it this fall. Not a big loss though since these are the arrows that I got 3 years ago when I bought the bow. My hunting arrows are safely stowed away. It still sucks to lose an arrow though.
