Stumps
« on: March 06, 2015, 03:09:00 PM »
It's come to my attention that there are some stumps that have been causing trouble and are considered very dangerous .
The weather here is expected to get above freezing and that is when they start to get out of hand .
So I think that I will have to take it upon myself to try and hunt them down and take'em out . If you use a bow and arrow you can get more than one cause a gun would spook off the rest .
I just gotta do what has to be done .

Graps, I appreciate your efforts to rid the neighborhood of those dangerous and devious threats to all that is sacred!  But if you are a true sportsman you need to eat what you kill, right?  Have any good recipes?    :biglaugh:

I love stumping, but I've not perfected the stalking of them yet. Seems they want to move on me. LOL.    :dunno:

My favorite way to cook them is in an open fire . The trouble is they seem to escape when I check to see when they are done . Where did they go ?

Just look out for imposters. I ran into one the other day, a rock in stump-camo. This was the result:

What is the daily bag limit on them there. We have a long season on them here, but I always have trouble taking my limit. Most of them here are some what quick and like to stay in thick brush. However we do have some real trophys.

Ours are still hibernating under a thick covering of snow.  Nice to know the season has opened in some areas.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

No closed season or bag limits on them here, I think they're considered an invasive species.  The best way I've found to prepare them is in a camp fire with friends, beverage of your choice.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Yep, finally warming up in Michigan. I got about 2hrs of work to do then heading out with the dog to rid the state game area of a few stumps.   :archer:

Tell me, do you aim for the heart(wood) or some other kill zone ?
