Is sometimes a wonderful thing.
Life has been pretty busy over the past few months, my father had his gallbladder out, my mom had a double mastectomy and all this while planning a wedding...
Finally have had some time to get to our place upstate and take a break from it all. Was shooting my new bow today (Mission Venture) and a wild shot sent one arrow FLYING.
Grabbed a few knives, my cell and decided to go hunt it down despite half a foot of snow on the ground - it was really wonderful to just spend some time in the woods alone...
Here are some pics from my little 45 minute hunt.
Horrible pic - havent hunted it yet, but the Mission Venture is just amazing - cant imagine ever needing more from a bow. Have a QAR rest and HHA sight.
We have a cabin that overlooks a waterfall on our property - the arrow crossed that stream and when into the woods behind.
Walk down the steps to the falls:
Our waterfall - the falls are about 25 feet high - pictures just dont do it justice:
For perspective, here are the falls in the summer - I was putting up lighting on a fallen tree (a storm eventually took down the tree - and my lights
). Its a dream to dunk in during the summer!
The beautiful quiet woods:
A tree came down in the storm - will need to break out the Battle Mistress and chainsaw this summer!
Crossed the stream and about 25 yards further arrow found!!! Must have hit a tree and come down. I was lucky to find it.
And two of my favorite knives (the Squatch is REALLY growing on me - even over my NMSFNO):
mmmmm snakeskin:
And me
I hope I lose another arrow soon
