All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ...(pic heavy)
« on: January 27, 2012, 12:13:00 PM »
Im spending nearly all of my time either working or learning for my Diploma at the moment, but today i just had to get out and shoot some stumps. We had a little snow today there wasnt even a breeze, made for some great experience and a few good shots (and more not so good of course    ;)   .
Just wanted to share some pics of the best 2 hours of my week so far, to encourage you to go out there and enjoy it, even if freetime is scarce.

 

Whereelse do you have stairs that are way older then 100 years in the middle of nowhere leading you comfortably to pull youre arrow    :D    
 

Some fresh deer sign:
 

This one was a bit risky for the arrow....but it was only ap.12 yards and i just had to try:

Some posing is inevitable
 

Another shot i had to try with little chance of success.....about 60-70yards id guess.
(The stump is slightly left to the red dot)
 

No hit but 3 of 5 got near
 

Thanks for looking!

Great pics what a fun time it must have been.

Great pics.  Glad I could go on the journey through them.  I am due for a stumping trip myself.

Just for fun ive taken that one pic and made it monochrome.

I think its interesting to see that the especially the dark parts of my clothes, like my hat, stand out...
