Title: Sunday stumping in Norway
Post by: Trond on January 04, 2015, 12:25:00 PM
A low january-sun between the trees
 (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg2.jpg?t=1420304715)
My first "kill" of the day.
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg1.jpg)
A rest in the sun...
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg6.jpg?t=1420304715)
A view over the lake Randsfjorden, and my home
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg1-1.jpg?t=1420304714)  
A log frozen in ice. The ice looks almost like running water
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg2-1.jpg?t=1420304715)  
A well used roe-deer trail. Look, but not touch... Bowhunting is not allowed in Norway.
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg11.jpg?t=1420304715)  
Oops... we have a broken arrow. Where did my judo go?
   (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/ace_dalton/imagejpg4-1.jpg?t=1420304714)  
Wait... there it is- under a spruce five feet away. Pure luck

You live in a beautiful place, but I don't think I could handle the hole no hunting thing.

Thank you for taking us along, is bow hunting not allowed because of lack of critters or just anti-hunting views? You live in a beautiful area!

Very pretty place and a fun time. You cant ask for more. It's a shame you can't hunt there.

Great photos and gorgeous country Trond. Stumping is an awesome way to spend a winter afternoon.

                                                         Good Shooting,

Thanks, guys.
The bow is a BearPaw Cayuga 66", marked 35# @28". Beautiful bow from Germany with a 30 year warranty.
The no-hunting in Norway is just related to politics. Someone said that a bow isn't good enough to kill game. So we have only old tree-stumps and 3D-targets to hunt.

Stumping is as good as hunting. Maybe better, I get more shots that way. Wonderful photos.

I kind of agree with you, there. I used to hunt many years ago, but now my shotguns sits in the closet. These days I hunt stumps with my bow, and for animals I use my camera. A peaceful approach to life...

"  Someone said that a bow isn't good enough to kill game."
Apparently they need to look at the success of hunting trad on this forum !

Nice pics.

I thought Norway was under, like, 10 feet of snow in January!  Thanks for the posts.  Hope you get a hunting season in the near future.

Thank you for sharing your pictures. It is a beautiful place that you have for stumping. And I like your bow too. It is much like my Black Forest bow which is also a Bearpaw product.

Beautiful looking country! To bad bowhunting is not allowed.

Some similar country and forest to around here.  Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful country!

Doubt I could live there if bowhunting is not allowed!

Looks like a fun day in the woods.

Yeah, but unless a miracle should happen, the only hunting this bow will do is stumping.

Sure glad I live in the usa. We have our issues but it would be an all out civil war again if they try to take our bowhunting away.

If you like to eat wild game meat then stumping is a nice way to practice for hunting. I like to stump but I LOVE hunting.
Title: Re: Sunday stumping in Norway
Post by: Wudstix on January 06, 2015, 07:26:00 PM
Beautiful scenery.  When I was in Germany bow hunting was not allowed because the bow was considered a poacher's weapon.

Longbow Fanatic 1, those were my sentiments exactly!!!

Sounds like a great reason to vote them out of power. Thousands of years of bow hunting and war have proven the bow is a very effective weapon.

As long as extreme animal rights people have the amount of power that they have in Norway, voting out the politicians wont do any good. The Norwegian Bowhunters Association tried to get permission for a trial-hunt, but that was denied. So, for the time beeing, bowhunting in Norway is only a distant dream.

Olin, I am from a small place called Hov in a county called Søndre Land. It is about 250 miles south of Rindal. But I have spent a lot of days fishing up in Møre og Romsdal. Beautiful landscape up there, especially on the coast.

I guess I could, but I do not feel good enough yet. Releasing an arrow against a living target isn't something I will do unless I am pretty sure it will hit right. So stumping is my hunting form for now.
