Title: Stump Shooting Montana Style
Post by: Goke on March 08, 2010, 09:47:00 AM
Was out to my parents place this weekend. Unseasonably warm and dry in SW Montana. Not many stumps so we shoot clumps and chips. Had a great weekend. My son Kash has figured out he can shoot an arrow out of Dad's bow pretty well if I hold it for him. He's only 4 and the arrow only goes about 10 feet but he is pretty proud. Had a great time. Some pics. Thanks for looking.

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "shootin the bull".

How about some specs on that turd tamer you're shooting there? Monster view of what looks to be a great hunting area! Thanks for the pix.

Wow, What a place!  Looks like a great time     :clapper:    

Does your son need a bow?  He's a righty?  I have one that might work for him....

Sean, you look like you could still suit up for the Grizzlies.  The weekend was beautiful in the Bitterroot...I got the Cherokee out and flew the length of the valley several times on Sunday.

Way cool!!!
Getting out don't get any better.
It is generaly a safe time of year to shoot at trail biscuits and "pies".

My experience tells me that summer and fall can be dangerous! You never know what might end up on you arrow.

Technically, wouldn't that be "shooting the sh**"?

So that's where that pretty crossgrain greybark PSA went!

Well-done on a happy time spent.

Nice looking country. I'm hoping to do a cross-country motorcycle trip late Summer this year, or Spring next year. Montana is one State I've always wanted to see for myself, along with Wyoming, Idaho, and the Dakotas.

Thanks all. Dont' know if I am alone in this experience but I find I appriciate these blessings even more once I share them on here and you all share your comments. Thanks for that.

Curt, Sent you a PM Back. Can't tell you how much I appriciate that offer.

Bozara, it was a beautiful weekend in the Root. Although I miss the game, I don't think I could survive taking hits like that anymore. Seems Kash can even put a hurtin on Dad these days and he's only 4.

It is a beautiful piece of property. In fact, there was a herd of elk hanging in there a couple days before the photos. It is unseasonaly dry but that hasn't had near the impact on the game as the wolves. It seems like all the elk that used to hang in these areas when I was a kid are now all hanging down closer to civilization and adjacent to all the houses. The only thing that has changed since then is the addition of wolves. I guess in fairness the houses are moving closer too. Nonetheless, I Don't intend to change the direction of this post but just making an observation.  

Ben, Yes that's Cody's old PSAX and unless I hit the jackpot and can buy five more, its not going anywhere. Its a beauty and it shoots better than it looks. I've thanked him many times but I guess I shouldn't have because he now has me addicted and eying another one. Especially now that he has posted pics of both of his.  

Last but not least, I'm glad I took these pics because now when my better half tells me I can't hit Sh@#, I've got pics to prove her wrong.

Thanks again All.

Looks like a pile of fun up there. My nephew was giving me a hard time for my choice of targets last week,I'm glad I'm not the only one that shoots pattys. Boy it sure looks like you could use some snow up there and maybe some depredation.
