I just received 3 books you recommended today. The comment I got was “tell that hammer guy your on fixed income”!
This next request ain’t gonna be easy:D
By the way–that hammock seat you recommended is great. Have used it for last 5 days on Turkey. What a simple yet functional piece of gear.
Think I will wait for a few days to start the psych on the quiver8) That is a beauty.

in reply to: Caroline & David Petersen #35986I have heard nothing for two days. I believe our medicine man is on a vision quest. I hope.
Trust he will be back soonest. There is enough love expressed here to comfort such a personal tragedy that he must return. Again, I hope.

Sorry I saw it somewhere but forgot the date as I remember geologic and evolutionary time by “it came before that and was a long time ago ” scale. But the Miles hill site was dated at 21,000 years ago which puts it at least 7,000 years older then the western Clovis sites.
What I find fascinating about all this is that our ancestors were hunting and traveling around thousands of years before syphilazation. If you surf around on the sidebars to that link there is a good one with actors and animation that is rather informative and entertaining.
No hunting today 👿 But I did a nice long hike and shot the bow at some stumps—OK, Web mom?:D

I will leave the discussion of bows to Bruce the procurer of books.:D
in reply to: Books on Bows #34778Oh crap—no I’ll wait till Tue to drop this one.:lol:
in reply to: Caroline & David Petersen #34769” I’ve not even tried to sort out what it says of my life that a bunch of “strangers” on a hunting website have come to mean so much to me, to be such a central part of my life, a happy addiction, but that is how it is. And Carolyn knew it too and supported it without reserve, even as she knows how you are helping us now.”

Not strangers–but members of your tribe.

in reply to: Books on Bows #34642Great discussion. But I have to tell you that the name “Smithhammer” has become a curse around here:D What more books to order? 😆

in reply to: What ya got goin? #32298Turkey seasons opens tomorrow. Broad heads are sharp gear is all ready and in day pack. I’ll be out there 1 hour before sunrise. Thanks to my good friend David Petersen who reintroduced me to this addiction some 4 yours ago.
At least hand lining for halibut won’t result in being eaten maybe drowned nice story Bruce.
Jim, Tiger sharks with recurve from a kayak? Sounds like a prime candidate for a Darwin award:lol: What was it the Capt said in Jaws “He’s a big one” just before the shark ate the boat
At least if I get a turkey I won’t need a seal skin bladder to slow it down and haven’t heard of someone being eaten by one yet.
I believe you can still get a copy of “Nanook” black and white made in the 20’s or 30’s great flick of the Eskimo’s and their skills.

in reply to: Caroline & David Petersen #32084I just received the following from Dave:
“She is gone, and our road trip begins within the hour. Please let the trad bow guys know how I appreciate their support.”
For those who don’t know, Dave is taking Caroline back home –their last road trip together.

in reply to: Purple Heart #29092Robin
Thanks. And thank you to all the trad family who can offer whatever support your capable of.
We will be hosting (not just us) in June, 4 couples –wounded vet and their spouse or girl/boy friend for a 4 day retreat in our wonderful serene mountain area. Lots of activities planned for them plus some quite time enjoying the natural world. All free.
Damn that makes your spirit sore to see the support provided by our local businesses and friends.
Robin forgot to mention when you contact John use my name but believe nothing he tells you about me8)
Mike
in reply to: Purple Heart #29063Kevin, Robin
Kevin– superb work from the heart. Semper Fi
Robin–I’m not savvy enough with this confuser–can you send this post to http://WWW.wwiaf.org.
The head of this organization is a long time friend and actually served as a company commander with me on an operation and in various other capacities over the years.
I think John McDaniel and Trad bow and Kevin may be able to support his mission to the benefit of our wounded vets.
For the rest of you check out the link -John is connecting our hero’s with the wild any support you can provide appreciated.
On a personal note John just drafted Linda last week to edit his quarterly news letter—he remembers her as the red line editor from hell8).

in reply to: What ya got goin? #29045Stunning photo’s! Darn I do not need another bow:lol: I already have two of the coffee variety . Bruce will the thunder child be at ETAR this year?
Hammer and Clay–have you seen this book,” Super Volcano–The Ticking Time Bomb Beneath Yellowstone National Park.” Greg Breining.
As Lin and I downsize our business and look for another place
your area has always been my top choice, Linda wants a boat and condo in Fl. I have already cautioned against–because of all the people and rising seas8) and besides we lived aboard for some years–to much stress.
But then this book spells out the possible events in your area–and as a geologist before the Corps–I’m thinking property values will go down if this book becomes more wide read and thus affordable:D
Again great photo’s, snow still on our ski sloops and more headed this way on Wed. We have had over 160″ this year with another foot or so of the wet heavy stuff on Wed. But the daffodils are in bloom:lol:
