A couple of weekends ago I had the chance to slip out with my bow to do a little shed hunting,scouting,and stump shooting. It was the night of the Supermoon so it only seemed right to be out in the woods.

"Strung up and ready to go hunt some "stumps".

Here is the backfield looking east. I have seen everything from coyotes to deer in this field from my kichen window.

Way out there, there were two logs laying with the one having a nice green mossy section(usually means nice,soft, punky wood). Probably 35+ yards......

I draw the Slammer back full,hit my anchor point,and let the Beaman slip from my fingers.

Close,but no cigar!

What is great about stump shooting is that you can take advantage of other slobs litter. This can took a solid hit from across the creek.

Carry a plastic bag with you to carry out the trash.

Getting up to the end of the deep hollow there is a nice rub line that comes off of the sidehill. I never got a look at the buck that made this and there are some on trees even larger up on the top ridge....

I hope he made it through gun season.

It was starting to get late and there was a bedding area that I wanted to check out before heading home so I scaled up the bank and started dropping down over. As I got closer the woods exploded in that familiar gray-brown and there were deer everywhere. I really thought that they would have been out of there beds by now. Checked the area real good and not a shed to be found.

Worked my way down to the back field and was greeted by such a beautiful sight....

Good stuff.

There used to be local legends about the "bottomless" glacial sink-holes in this area.

No excuse for trash, targets or no. Always come out w/extra in my bag also. Have been surprised recently by all the stumpshooters. Really just makes good sense having great fun practicing effectively. Really good pix. Thanks.

Cool pictures and nice bow.

That rub looks like a "traditional" i.e. yearly spot for that activity, old sign with fresher over top. Great pics, and good on ya for the sanitation engineer work. Stump'n is maybe the second best bow n'arrow activity we've got...
