Stump shoot...uhh....Groundhog hunting in NJ

[pdk25]

Tom and I went out to a state park in NJ and, in keeping with the laws of the great state of NJ which doesn't allow stump shooting, went hunting for groundhogs.  Alot of our shots missed the groundhogs, but hit some NJ style stumps.

Notice Tom's brand new Steven Catts quiver in the second set of pics.  Sweet quiver!

[southpawshooter]

Catts makes some nice stuff, for sure.  That pic of the NJ treestand is a classic!  Hunting this year I saw something similar - it was an old one piece school desk, you know, the kind where the chair and desk are attached?  It was about 10 feet up a tree.  I'm guessing the owner was using the desktop for a rest, LOL

Nice looking arrows Deadbolt...Looks like one of your old treestands Scott!!!  :eek:

Excellent groundhog hunt pdk25.  Looks like you were hitting the targets well.  What is the weight rating on that treestand?

Scott - I thought I was the only one who had ever seen one of those.  I found the same thing about 16 feet up a tree but it was 2/3 up the mountainside here in VA.

Had a blast pat them damn hogs were fast though LOL!!!

Joe Skipp I'm sealing up my cedars now to fletch them babies up I'll post pix of them next week hopefully!

And that quiver is awsome man I love that thing...it finally formed to my back and I could do a back flip and them arrows are stuck LOL.

Looks like a good time, Joe and I found an old bottle dump last fall were going to hit it this spring for some action.

Looks like you guys had a blast. Kind of reminds me of some year round "coyote hunting" I do in PA.

Is there really a law against stump shooting?  Where's the snow?

About the only good thing about NJ is that they don't get much of a winter.  It's been along time since there's been snow on the ground.

[Dave Bowers]

I have the same problem with them dang NJ ground hogs as you fellas ...lol

Haha I was sweating my butt off it was 75 today snow has been long gone in central NJ...come to think of it did we even get any?  LMAO

Nice pictures.

I would declare this event as collecting all the garbage those idots leave or dispose in the woods.

While getting some firewood out of the forest next to my home I found three flat bottles which are normally filled with heavy booze. We call them "Flachmann" = "flatman".

It's a shame that our environment is almost destroyed by this garbage while NJ has no other idea than to forbid stumpshooting.

[Stone Knife]

You have to be joking about it being illegal to stump shoot in NJ  

[bbassi]

it looks like a great time but the fact that you had more garbage to shoot at than stumps is a little disturbing.
