Sunday two of the newest trad gang members and my best friends, my god son, and I went on their first stumping adventure. We visited some of my elk hots spots early in the day. Fortunately for them they are twenty miles from their homes. We had a great day scouting out hunting spots for elk and blacktail.
One of them who will remain nameless ( Arrow Buster ) was steadily breaking arrows all day. One spectacular shot bounced off four trees and broke the arrow into five pieces. Tim busted a few arrows. While Alex managed to keep all of his intact. The pics were taken on a bench along an elk trail that looked like it had been bulldozed from all the recent activity.
This shot is Alex getting ready to let fly
And this is his hit on a stump in front of the target stump.

Glenn is lining up an uphill shot with a bow I made while in highschool. I gifted it to him a while back and he is starting to shoot it a lot.
The weather was perfect, and we all had a lot of fun. In the afternoon we went to a new area and scouted out a deer trail up the Coweeman River that had lots of sign with good fresh rubs apparent along the trail.
It was fun seeing Alex getting excited while taking his first steps in the hunting process. This will be his first year hunting.
