Title: Stumpin' in the Klondike Forest
Post by: ronp on April 28, 2013, 11:24:00 AM
Went out stump shooting this morning in the Klondike Forest in Amboy, NY.  Perfect morning for a walk and plenty of stumps.

This was the first time my wife went out for a walk with me while stumping.  Although she seemed to enjoy it, she still doesn't want to give it a try.  I'll have to work on that a little.

Hi Ron,
Actually, honest to God and my wife is my witness, the second to last pic was about 80 yards! I paced it off.  I can't hit anything at 15 yards, though.  Last year I shot at the same dead tree and hit it about 15 feet up.  I had to bring my ladder to get the arrow.

I got a point for that stuffed bear all right.  My buddy adkmountain ken lent me a big, about 300 grain thumper head at the Rockwood stump shoot that would do the trick! I forgot to give it back when we were done.  Sorry Ken, but I will put it to good use   :biglaugh:

Thanks for the pics Ron.  Looks like a great day afield but with a name like Klondike, i was expecting the ice cream treat.

The Klondike Forest is about 875 acres of state land between Parish and Camden, about a mile south of Rt. 69.  It's not part of the 46 Corners area, but it is fairly close to it.

I think I have seen a few of those arrows before.

Nothing like a stump shoot to keep you sharp, and just plain enjoy the day before the black flies come out.
