Scouting, Roving,Stumping, Shed Hunting
« on: February 07, 2015, 06:42:00 PM »
Today was our annual Traditonal Bowhunters Of Maryland Rabbit Hunt. Unfortunately like the past couple of years, something comes up and I can't make the hunt. But later on I grabbed the longbow and went out to do some scouting and stumping while looking for some shed antlers. I was out for a few hours, but did not find any sheds. But I did find some nice rubs in one area approx. 80 yards from one of my treestands. Here are the rubs I found.
   

   


   


   

 And here is the fellow I think might have made them.

   

   

  My treestand is approx. 17 yards from where he is standing, but I never laid eyes on him while hunting. I am hoping he survived the season.


  The money shot while stumping @ 48 yards(LOL).

Cool. I went out stumping behind the house yesterday, and managed to bust one of my carbons. I noticed the insert was a little loose and snot another stump with it anyways. Bad idea, it shoved the insert back into the shaft.

It looks like a fun day, I hope that buck makes it through to next year for you. I'm also wondering what bow you're shooting, that's a real looker.

That's a fine looking buck, Tony! Hope you get a crack at him next season. What kind of bow is that you are toting? It looks sweet!

Looks like a day well spent in the woods. Hopefully you will have better luck next time on finding some sheds.

Awesome photos!  Thanks for sharing.

I've gotten to where I enjoy this time of year about as much as any.  I love to get out and stump shoot and walk around looking for sheds.
