It was a rare Sunday morning above freezing, this morning. I decided I would take advantage of it and get some outside shooting in. I walked out and shot this group from about 35 yards!

After pulling the arrows, my daughter came out and asked, "Dad, can we go for a hike?" I always enjoy spending time with her outdoors.
We headed out to a large piece of property that my family and I own. My daughter, Autumn, and my 9-month old lab pup, Willow, were excited to be in the woods!

Of course, I was not going in the woods without doing a bit of stump shooting!

I was having a good day shooting and a great day with my daughter!

Unfortunately, we hiked a couple miles without finding any deer sign! But then again, it is NH!
Hope everyone had a great Sunday!
Looks like a great day!
nice pictures, thanks for sharing, rich pyle
Looks like you were on. You've got more snow than we do. Takes confidence to stump with that much snow. Looks like it was well founded. And on top of that, you got to spend some quality time with your girl. Can't imagine a better day.
Cool stuff . Good shooting.
What a perfect way to spend a Sunday
Let me see, couple of miles, snow, no deer sign. Sounds and looks familiar to me......the big piece? Gotta be......snow and no deer sign.
David
A great day spent!
You got it Dave!! 3000 acres of the most beautiful woods.........completely void of deer!
Awesome!

way to go.
Hey Seth, Nice pics! Who walked across that ice bridge? Looks mighty thin from here.
Beautiful country you have up there.
Tad
wow, you have a beautiful spot. are there trout in that stream?
Thanks Tad. I can assure you that it was not my 220# carcass!
Not sure if there are any fish in that or not. Not much of a fisherman. Most of the year you could walk across it in sneakers.
Looks like y'all had a fun time!
Bisch
Looks like fun. I only have a little piece of land but it was a nice day so I took the bow out for a walk to see if there were any rabbits about.
The kids are grown and gone but I used to take them along.
