I'm used to my recurves... which probably makes this bow seem that much quieter. I'm impressed with this bow.

No ground grizzlies located today. I'll be looking again on Monday.

 

Located my target. This will be an "urban hunt". I live 30 minutes from town, but most of the groundhogs near where I live have been wiped out by a combination of coyotes and local farmers. A few survive by burrowing under barns and outbuildings.

However, I'm a Pastor and the church sets on 6 acres. We have had structural damage in the past due to these city dwelling groundhogs. Most of the damage is in our drainage system. Yesterday I seen one that survived our eradification efforts last year. I personally took 5 off the property. Our neighbor works on the local population with his hunting equipment.

The target groundhog has burrowed under a concrete slab near the corner of our main building. He was out and about at 4 pm yesterday. I'm currently sitting in a pop up blind watching for him to exit his "den".

Wish me luck!

My view of the bank outside of my blind.

Awesome!   Live hunt.

Yep. Found it too. Looks like Thursday before I get back after him. Doing lots of backyard shooting and really liking this bow!

Doing a number on my fletching and nocks.

One of my favorite backyard targets... a rubber ball hung from a tree.

Sometimes takes the ball off the rope, other times takes the arrow up into the tree!

You heard right! 

That's Some dang fine shooting right there!!

We have a security camera system at church. I can get on the system from my phone (unfair chase?). I'm convinced that this "marmota monax" is not completely out of hibernation mode. It seems that when the max daily temps hit 65, he's out feeding for about 30 minutes in the late afternoon (his burrow gets the late afternoon sun). The daily max has been around 60 the days he has not shown up on camera.

Tuesday evening I went fishing instead of sitting in the blind. Of course, I got security footage of him that evening within 4 yards of my blind. 

Presently it's 66* and I'm headed up to try again. He's been coming out about 5:15pm.

That was my first shot (cold) from 15 yards this morning.

I am so impressed with this bow!
