We don't have a lot of snow so far, and what we have had melted so it's a good time to get out and wander my land.

Got a pass through! However if you look closely you can see the miss on the left with the first arrow.

A tad better. The moss matches the stripe on the bow very well.

Another pass through, happy with the shooting with old fingers.

My great-grandfather, grandfather, father and I all hunted from this spot. Now my son does. I'm blessed with giant pines below a beautiful oak ridge. This spot makes a great ground blind.

More pines!

I do too. A hickory one vs pine would have looked a touch better on the wall, but it works.
Very Nice Tony
I brought the old man along. He is deaf, partially blind and so arthritic he has a hard time standing. That said, he never complains when I miss and has been known to share a beer after a long walk.

Looks like fun! Hoping to get out up there and do some shooting at some point.
Love the pics. Rather bold of you to not use flu flus with snow on the ground... Hope I can do some more roving/stumping this year. I find it the most enjoyable way to spend time with a bow in hand.
Nice pics, sweet looking bow.

Heikki Lunta demands an arrow or two each year as sacrifice anyway, so it's ok lol.

Beside the military, college and work I've lived here all my life. Best place to raise kids.
Dad lived at the end of Bristal Mine or Kempasky road. Chuck Olson lives there now. Son and I shot bear with our bows last fall near town.

Chucky and Dorthea are good people. My camp is near Paint Pond
Hoping to be back this upcoming bow season for the opener. My oldest son and his buddy and me are planning a trip. It's been three years since I've been back , miss it dearly.
My dads best friends. Thats why sold the house to them. I visited them last Sept while on our bear hunt
Well, we got a tad more snow lol so I went out to cut some tracks.

Turkeys and deer headed west. Hope I see those boys in the spring.

Here's what happens when you miss. Thankfully I was under a giant whit pine so the digging around was limited.

Beautiful scenery.

An old road long forgotten.

My reward for shoveling and cleaning off moms roof lol
Some beautiful country up there! Great pics and a great thread.....did some roving/squirrel hunting myself this past weekend....took a spill up to my waist in a stream that was a touch chilly......good times!
To the OP, how do you like those hammerhead tips? Thinking about picking some up.

Fantastic. Those I use for grouse or squirrels. Not as good for roving as the Zwickey judos but the 145 hammers work much better on those particular arrows.
Is that a Schafer Silvertip? :archer:

Close, it's a Tall Tines. 44# @ 28 60"
The UP of Michigan is some of the most beautiful land in the country!
Thank you for the pictures, I miss the big north woods, I love walking down those long forgotten roads to see where they will take you. There is always another hill to climb just because it's there and you need to see what is on the other side.
