My boys asked if we could go stumping and shed hunting today. I said of course! So we got dressed, grabbed our bows and headed to one of the properties that I hunt. We didnt find any shed's but Chase found an old doe skull and we had alot of fun shooting. Here are a few pictures from our outing.


This one is of them both shooting at the same stump

We had a blast today. We also ran into a flock of turkey's with some nice toms in the mix..bring on turkey season  

Very cool,thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff thanks for sharing.  My 8 year old and I went out like that last weekend.

Thanks for sharing! These are the kind of threads that endeared me to Trad Gang!

You have much to be proud of.

Looks like fun. Great form. I see so many adults these days that don't even come close to full draw, so it's nice to see that they had some training. Good work.

Geat day out with the boys. Man what fun!! Can't wait til my grandkids are old enough to take out. Made my granddauther a bow arrows and quiver for her 2nd birthday. Keepem in the woods and out of trouble!!

 You must be proud!  Someday I'll have kids to bring along!

Great pics and good fun with family!  

nice pics,thanks.

Cool, by the looks in their eyes, the tradition will continue....Great Job

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the adventure!  

Man! Look out Fred Eichler!  Looks like we may have a couple new superstars!!    

A great way to spend a day. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great pictures Shad. Thanks for sharing. My two boys and I used to do alot of stumping when they were about that age. They're grown and living 2 hrs. away and we don't get to spend as much time together anymore. Your  pictures bring back great memories. Thanks again.

very nice! I can't wait untill more snow melts here to go shed hunting and stumping. Thanks for sharing and tell the kids nice shot.

nice thanks for sharing.

both boys are showing good form.

those arrows inn flight are real cool.

you are a verry blessed man,for sure  :cool:    

Thanks all. I feel very forunate that my boys love spending time with me in the woods, bows in hand. We decided that it would only be fitting to eat some backstraps from Chase's first deer that he killed last nov with his youth muzzleloader. These are the days that dreams are made of for this guy.

Great pics and some great shooting young archers too boot, thanks for sharing.
