Stumping at the cabin

[JJB]

It's been a busy winter, as always, and we had a chance to get away to our cabin for the night last night.  We arrived in the late afternoon and enjoyed some venison meatloaf and a nice campfire.

After a great nights sleep and a relaxing breakfast it was time to hit the woods.

It was a great morning to get back in the woods.  Here's the team.

After a few warm up shots we decided to go for a challenge.  We called this shot "threading the needle." The target was the snow that stood up at the base of the stump.

My shot was a bit to the left.  Jen's bounced off the stump but you can see from the snow that she hit it perfectly!

This shot proved challenging from various angles.

 Looks like a great time.

Here's our line up for today.  We all shot bows that were home made in our basement which is extra fun.

We went a little farther and envisioned a bear sneaking through the woods.

We got him!

We went up the hill up a little and found a bunch of mouse tracks.  It's cool to see all the different tracks in the snow.

We followed a deer trail back to one of our main logging roads.
[/URL]

At this point Jen and Zach's fingers were getting cold so they headed back to the cabin leaving Luke and I to continue stumping and also do a little scouting for next deer season.
[/URL]

We continued along the trail and picked various targets along the way.

[JJB]

Luke found a challenging "across the draw shot" which was the snow that stood a little higher than the rest on the dead tree.

The draw, anchor and picking a spot.
[/URL]

He gave a thumbs up with the shot.
[/URL]

I was also happy with the results on this one.

[JJB]

We did a little more scouting and came across some beds and some raccoon tracks on a log.

[/URL]

We took a rest to enjoy the view down the valley.
[/URL]

It was time to make our way back to the cabin and pack up.  We found a few random targets along the way.  It was a great day here in Wisconsin, thanks for coming along.
