Title: Took my boys out stumpin today..
Post by: Shad on February 28, 2010, 03:03:00 PM
My boys asked if we could go stumping and shed hunting today. I said of course! So we got dressed, grabbed our bows and headed to one of the properties that I hunt. We didnt find any shed's but Chase found an old doe skull and we had alot of fun shooting. Here are a few pictures from our outing.


This one is of them both shooting at the same stump

Looks like fun. Great form. I see so many adults these days that don't even come close to full draw, so it's nice to see that they had some training. Good work.

Great pictures Shad. Thanks for sharing. My two boys and I used to do alot of stumping when they were about that age. They're grown and living 2 hrs. away and we don't get to spend as much time together anymore. Your  pictures bring back great memories. Thanks again.

Thanks all. I feel very forunate that my boys love spending time with me in the woods, bows in hand. We decided that it would only be fitting to eat some backstraps from Chase's first deer that he killed last nov with his youth muzzleloader. These are the days that dreams are made of for this guy.
