Title: Our 1st Time Out Stumpin' in '13
Post by: Guru on January 29, 2013, 07:17:00 AM

It was cold, but it was just too nice to not take a walk.

A lot of this around, might be time to get some ganger's together...

With the possibility of a travel hunt coming up soon, Cade has started shooting on of my take downs. When he first started shooting it, he could hardly get it to full draw at his draw length. Now he's shooting it very well. You can see the blur of his pink feathers tracking at the blue bottle...

He really shot Bonita very well despite the extra draw weight...

One of my better shots from about 35....thru the trees, over the creek, into the dark hole in the middle of the stump....nothing but net!

Cade captured this shot perfectly as my arrow struck the stump...

Emmie Mae is shooting her new JT-44 that she won at the Muzzy. Special 30th anniversary bow donated by John T. for the kids raffle. Awesome little bow!

He made another good shot!

Looks good. Maemae looks like shes shooting as well as the rest of you.No finer way to spend a day and Im glad they value those opportunities. I was hunting bunnies with Noah when you texted me. I was "lucky" enough to miss one twice with my Zipper. He was piling them up but for the life of me I cant get him to pick up his bow. He will be able to shoot in the yard in the new house so my fingers are crossed. :pray:

Well my far off Brother that right there is what it's all about as a father. Make the most of it Guru as soon enough poor 'ol dad will be uncool to hang with believe it or not!

Thanks for the journey, might have to head out myself for a scouting/stumping trip.

You need to do this as often as possible, before you can blink they will be grown and have kids of their own. But when the grandkids hit seven or eight you will have new shooting buddies and more time to spend with them as you will hopefully be retired.

I was wondering where all the snow came from and realized it was a year or two old.

Its incredible how much your kids have grown in 2 years.
