Title: Shed Hunting...Stump Shooting...New Holm-Made Recurve
Post by: Silvertip Marc on March 07, 2010, 04:58:00 PM
Danny Johnson and I went to do some hiking in the woods.  Still a lot of snow here(about 50 inches this winter), but we were able to do some hiking on the south slopes of the hills.  Below are some pictures from my camera but first I didnt have a memory card and then the batteries went dead.  Iowa isnt flat all over as these pictures will show.  I have only had my "River Runner" for about 2 weeks, but sure is a great shooting bow.  Enjoy the pics.  We found 2 sheds, but my camera died before the shed was found.  Danny will be adding pics later.

Looks like a great time!  It's interesting how closely Danny's hair matches the snow!

1. Here is how the shed was as Marc found it before he pulled it out of the snow.

2. To give you an idea of the size of the shed Shonka is a 85lb Weimaranar.

3. The next two pics are of the shed alongside my 54 in Treadway Black Forest.

Great looking pics!
I've got a Weim also....all she does is hang out with me or hold down the couch, she doesn't hunt.
She's a very good companion though, she'll go anywhere with me!

Went Shed hunting myself over the weekend. Found a nice pair but nothing like those biggies. We to have had lots of snow but most has melted around here.

My kids came back from Omaha today and we went shed hunting. My goal was the right side match to the shed Marc found last weekend posted above. The snow was greatly reduced do to weather we had this week making walking much easier. I am happy to say we met our goal:

Here is the right side shed as found.

Here is the right side shed with my bow.

Please note the size of this burr.

This last picture is Shonka (he loves his picture taken), myself and our goal for today. The right side mate to the Shed Marc found last week. Hope you enjoy.
