A Long Walk, A Shed, and the Biggest Squirrel I Have Ever Seen Harvested


Somehow, I forgot to post this back in early February.  My buddy Corey, my youngest son Cody, my dog Waylon, and I went to our family farm for some shed antler hunting and squirrel hunting.  We wound up with one of each and it was a great day in the woods!  We walked about 6 miles and Waylon took 75,000 steps.  Yes, Waylon has a collar that tracks his movement and location and while it is indeed a little excessive, it sure is fun to analyze.  I found a shed in the timber which is always exciting to me.  I (not Waylon) flushed a covey of quail but couldn't pick out one to shoot.  Congratulations nature, your adaptation worked.  Cody had a blast collecting bones that we found and just doing kid-type things in the timber.  Corey ended up shooting the biggest squirrel that I have ever seen.  It was absolutely beautiful as well.  He is going to tan the hide and I have the meat in the freezer.  The boys and I are going to fry it up soon because we all love to eat squirrel.
