I’m pretty proud of throwing a wise ass rock at a squirrel a long ways down an oak ridge as a kid. 75 yards? Boinked him right on the nut case and knocked him out. Watched him “come to” a minute or two later and stagger up a tree. Never in another lifetime could I do that again!

Finally got out yesterday. Kinda real burnt out at work has been hard lately, but getting out really felt good. Saw 1 small buck and ma with 2 kids. They passed by at 15′ from me on the ground but no shot at that angle.

We have what I believe is Prickly Pear cactus in Michigan too. Not that uncommon in the SW part of the state on very dry sites.

projectile points.net is really good too. I never realized there was so much online.

I found a site named arrowheadology.com. Lots of pics of differing types of points and artifacts.

I didn’t know such a thing exists. I just picked up a piece of local quartzite on the dog walk today and plan to destroy it in a crude attempt to see if I can get a sharp edge.

I’m also enjoying this thread a lot, and learning more than a little. Thanks for starting it up, Paleo, and thanks to all.

Dave – here’s one made of quartz my brother found in western Ma. when we were kids. I would think working quartz would be a tough job.

Here’s one I found near Lowell, Mi. several years ago. I think it dates pre-Woodland but don’t know for sure. Still sharp too. Looks to me like nice workmanship?

Back before GPS I got all screwed around in northern Maine. Took out the compass and decided the compass was drunk. After passing the same moose track after a couple hrs of corkscrewing around, I said maybe that thing knows something! By God it was smarter than me:wink: A good humbling I’d good now and then.

Yes I have one got it on Fred A’s site a year ago. Can’t remember the name. I don’t like it because I travel light and —any way e-mail at herdering@earthlink.net if your interested.

Mike – I like light too and if it’s bigger than a small day pack it’s more than I’d want. Sounds like it is?

Just another thing I think about before trekking around in the dark searching for a blood trail or a downed animal,these prickly pears have no mercy. They’re all over the place in this area and it so happens it’s one of the better places to find mule deer.

Love the pics! Man, I’d feel like a squirrel in a clearcut down there. Do you have poison ivy down there too?
