We don’t have a lot of snow so far, and what we have had melted so it’s a good time to get out and wander my land.

Got a pass through! However if you look closely you can see the miss on the left with the first arrow.

A tad better. The moss matches the stripe on the bow very well.

Another pass through, happy with the shooting with old fingers.

My great-grandfather, grandfather, father and I all hunted from this spot. Now my son does. I’m blessed with giant pines below a beautiful oak ridge. This spot makes a great ground blind.

More pines!

Back at camp warming up!

I do too. A hickory one vs pine would have looked a touch better on the wall, but it works.

I brought the old man along. He is deaf, partially blind and so arthritic he has a hard time standing. That said, he never complains when I miss and has been known to share a beer after a long walk.

Looks like fun! Hoping to get out up there and do some shooting at some point.

Love the pics. Rather bold of you to not use flu flus with snow on the ground... Hope I can do some more roving/stumping this year. I find it the most enjoyable way to spend time with a bow in hand.

Heikki Lunta demands an arrow or two each year as sacrifice anyway, so it’s ok lol.

Thanks for taking me along. Near what town are you. My dad lived in Crystal Falls for 25 years.

Beside the military, college and work I’ve lived here all my life. Best place to raise kids.

Dad lived at the end of Bristal Mine or Kempasky road. Chuck Olson lives there now. Son and I shot bear with our bows last fall near town.

Hoping to be back this upcoming bow season for the opener. My oldest son and his buddy and me are planning a trip. It's been three years since I've been back , miss it dearly.
