I don’t have “success” anymore, so it’s just me.:) But I’m happier g’dammit! I like my wool stuff but not as many pockets.

You should’ve handled yourself “Country Roads”:) That’s a beautiful state you have. Welcome!

Reading through these had me recalling how stunned I was as a young guy to see a flying squirrel land on a tree in front of my flashlight beam one fall. Despite all my time in the woods I never knew they were common to the area.

They must be messed up this year? I saw some like that @ 2 weeks ago. Not the norm in my experience anyway.

Turns out a few years before a local game farm had imported several Fallow Deer with out the proper permits and had a fence malfunction before the DEC showed up to haul off the illegal aliens.

Knew it wasn’t a whitetail – and we have enough problem with invasive species. It was impounded and checked for rabies and tuberculosis (who knew?) and I got the meat and rack, but not the rest of the head. Several still unaccounted for.

That’s a Roe deer right?

Split. Like everything else that has worked fine since I was seven I don’t mess with it. I would have been fine in the Stone Age:wink:

Oh! And that scene in The Gladiator where, again, Russell Crowe has the Roman army raining flaming arrows and Greek fire down on the biker type Barbarians!

Black Robe. A Native drills a grouse with an arrow.

Very well thought out kit. No pics and not as sophisticated as yours but my components are a flint & steel with charcloth in the tin (which I have used successfully), wooden matches in a waterproof container, a Zippo in a plastic bag (butane is better, I know..) and I’m always picking up shrivels and shreds of birch bark and bagging. Thankfully have never had to break them out for an emergency. Good off season topic.
