Title: Day after Christmas stumpin'
Post by: ronp on December 26, 2015, 10:44:00 AM
I was able to get out this morning for a quick walk and some stump shooting in a small woodlot near my home.  It was a frosty walk over to the woods:

Some of the stumps were hard, but these footed carbons held up well.  Here was a complete pass through!

I often need snow shoes this time of year, but not this year.

Good stuff Ron.  I was going to get out after squirrel this morning but my wife said the house needed cleaning..  She was right as usual. the 8 squirrels in my yard made me wonder if I made the right choice.

It was fun.  I had as many misses as hits, though.  Still a lot of fun!   :archer2:

Yes Ron, that's the Morrison riser I got from you quite a while ago.  It sat in my dresser for about 3 years, then I finally bought some limbs for it.

It sure looks like you have huge supply of targets. You need to get out more to thin that immense herd. Stumps are like rabbits, they can increase right before your eyes, so they surely need to be controlled . What's the limit in your neck of the woods? Looks like a great day in the woods.
