Trad Gang

For once, the wind was in my favor. If only everything else would roll my way. I had quietly worked my way around a steep staircase and spotted a young feedbag napping a mere 10 yards away. I had a small shooting lane just to the right of a leaning broom sapling. Silently, I bent the 3 bamboo lams in my HH Tembo to a near perfect parabolic arc and released....

ahhh, darn basement trees!

A bit of work with the dremel tool and I was able to free the arrow. So much for that not-so-innocent broom sapling!

At least you have some private basement land to hunt on. The public basements are always so crowded. Better luck next time.

I was hoping on pics of arrowed rats...

I double lunged one of the basement doors...my wife is pretty tolerant.

Real men shoot in the upstairs hall!    :bigsmyl:

VTer said "Real men shoot in the upstairs hall! [bigsmyl]"

Nope, that's single men, not necessarily real ones, lol.

Boy you guys are lucky. My wife wont even let me shoot my 3d deer out of the bedroom window any more.   :(

I know better than to even ask my wife...  :rolleyes:  

So, you gonna mount that?

Yup, I perforated the blender once. I was gonna mount it but it was too expensive!! Shawn

I will not admit to anything.

Hope,for health reasons, your wife doesn't decide to move the furniture around!  :biglaugh:

That was my "basement broom", so I didn't catch any flak. She did hit me the one time when I shot a hole in the basement door though.

ishiwannabe, do you know a good broom stuffer?

Confusious say: He who shoot upstairs know the way to Home Depot.

Good thing you spined it, we've all heard the horror stories of wounded brooms and mops.

JMatt1957, I bet theres a story with your window shooting.

Best guy I know for taxidermy work is Guru...  :saywhat:

Great thread  :)

That is one of the funniest things I've ever seen or read!

Lookout brother, "Busticate the witch's broom and she'll emasculate the groom!"

That's funny! I'm still eating an antique oak desk I killed 2 years ago. Wouldn't have happened if honeybunch had put that apple on her head like I asked her in the first place.

'Least you got real good penetration!!  Was that a single bevel field point???

Dont ya know short brooms come in handy ...LOL..NOW SWEPT THAT BASEMENT OUT SON!!!!  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:

That's the same model my wife rides.

And....You guy can talk to me when you shoot out the living room picture window  :eek:

Harry Potter's going to have your a$$.  :biglaugh:

You didn't kill her ride did you?

No offense was meant with the above question...just a friendly joke.

Josh

Ah...the aluminum broom handle...love those hybrids.

The real question is, how did it eat?  I'm guessing a little tough and stringy!

 :biglaugh:

I thought I was the only one who hunts exotic household game critters< I shot a albino tub once,got about 6" of penitration but it was enough to kill it!! that one cost me big ,so now i hunt in the lower 48 bacement where it cheaper!!   :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:   You guys have me in tears here!!!

I haven't had any yet. We just finished butchering it. I had it sent in for sausage, though my hopes aren't high. My dad always taught me that if I shot it, I had to eat it. I'm hoping the sausage guys "loses" the package.

Love the witch comments! She's too great for that though. :-)

I question the ethics of going after feedbags with field points.

Seeing as how the deed is done, however, and finding yourself in possession of a deceased basement dweller, perhaps this would be an excellent opportunity to conduct a "dead stick penetration test" on said broom.

I suspect the feedbag would have been still running at this point, and leaving a scant kibble/grain trail.        

Killdeer

right on!!!  :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

This particular species is known for it's paper thin skin. Here in PA it is not only legal, but common practice to hunt this species with the single bevel field point. Penetration is never a problem with a properly placed shot and the single bevel field point.

Spackle and some left over paint and you can sometimes get away with a few misses.

Anyone know why witches dont wear undies. They get a better grip on the broom.  :scared:

i nearly peed my pance laughin so hard and i got a full bladder too hahahahahaha thats just to funny and the pics to sell it too oh my god   :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:    :biglaugh:

HAHAHAHA! Priceless thread....

Oh damn...I just spit beer all over my keyboard. That's funny right there.

Is a broom considered a varmint in your state? Or are they protected with a season? You'd better check your regs before you take down another one.

Yeah T.J., that one about killed me too when I read it! Yeah, "that's funny, I don't care who you are!".

Dang, I may have to send a tag in for that! Thanks for reminding me!

Never forget my first bow... a lemonwood longbow from the Western Auto store, bought with my paper route money... $13.   Brought it home and was shooting off the back porch.  My little brother asked me if I could hit the garbage can.  Having no experience at all, I assumed that if I did, I'd dent it... not a big deal.  Now, this garbage can was what my dad used to run out the outboard when he got home from fishing.  He'd fill it with water and run the motor in it to clear it out.  

I drew the bow and let loose... a fine shot... right through both sides of the can and the fence behind it into the neighbor's yard.  I snuck over and recovered the arrow, but I sure had a lot of explaining to do when dad got home to a no longer water tight garbage can!
