Snowshoes and stump shooting

[Skipmaster1]

Since I can't hunt in CT on sundays Logan and I decided to take the dog for a walk and do some snowshoeing and a little stump shooting. I LOVE being in the woods with a fresh snow and no human tracks in sight. We had a blast and I only lost 1 arrow.....not bad for having all white fletchings!
There were squirrel tracks everywhere so I hope to get out this week and try to bag a few with my longbow. It just wasn't gonna happen with the 2 of us and the dog.

Looks like a great time. Nice dog. Snowshoes? Doesn't look that deep there. We only got 2"

Stumpin' is always fun.

We got 8"-12" on Friday and there was still 4"-6" in most places from the storm before that. It dosen't look real deep but it's over the top of my boots and a real pain to walk in. Calling for another 12"-15" tonight!

I too live in one of those unenlightened states.

Sounds like a blast! Too bad we don't get enough snow here consistently to try snowshoe stumping.

Yo......what happened to those great chartreuse fletchings that I saw you using?  Shouldn't lose too many of those in white snow.....unless you bury 'em in 12" or so!!!!

What a blast.  I have to get my shoes out and take a walk.  I just need to finish up a little woodshop out in the garage for my better half.  Uuuhhmm, woodshop/arrow making shop. Shhhh!

Looks like a great time. Better leave those snow shoes close. Sounds like more snow is headed your way.

You were shooting well to lose only one.

Thankfully I live NEXT to one of those states! I mainly just hunt CT in sept and Jan, to extend my season a bit. In the county I live in I am blessed to hunt mid october through the end of december in a bow only zone and with my work schedule I get out just about everyday!

we don't often have enough snow for snowshoeing but it looks like I'll be using them quite a bit this year.
