Took the boat to get to my spot. Almost ran a fawn over on the way to the ramp. Didn't see any deer, but saw turkeys and some feral cat sized fox squirrels. Of course when I got back to the boat launch there were about 10 deer next to the ramp. I know where I'm hunting tomorrow!!!!

Overall it was a fun day for me. I took my new to me boat out, puttered around Smith Lake checking places out that, as a guest on other peoples' boats you can't ask them to just pull over, and found some good places to take my boys squirrel hunting. The fox squirrels I saw have to be some kind of Boone and Crockett squirrels. They look like cats running through the woods. Probably will take my ~9 and ~5 year old out Sat mid-morning to knock around and see if we can bag a few.

If you squint real hard and use your imagination, there's a big ass fox squirrel in this picture:












Going to be back at it Friday. Maybe Thursday if I decide to skip classes.
