I hate to be sarcastic but this is gotta be one of the most brilliant scientific discoveries of all time…

Imagine a bear using it’s nose to find dinner.

And it only took 11 years of research to figure this out.

Ya spose there’s a reason we hunt into the wind?

I’m ‘mostly’ a peaceful sort.

I do get an elevated attitude sometimes though.

To borrow a bit from Edna St. Vincent Millay:

All I could see from where I stood

Was largest elm tree in the woods.

Then I turned and looked the other way

And saw the hell that man can play

A much smarter choice.. I cain’t run fast enough to catch a turkey, cain’t outrun a pissed pig.  Best they not know I’m around methinks…

 

The white feathers are way visible as they pass by a turkey………..

Fred Bear had better white fletched arrows, seemed they always went to the critter.  Mine seem to bypass the critters.

Has to be the arrows..

Not professional by any means but I was having fun with my old piece of wood. (Hickory Grumpy)

I let the headless one get 12 yards from me just to be a fair person. :-))

Yeah, the last shot did destroy a nock.

Hey folks, I want to make an apology to everyone for being testy and argumentative here awhile back.

We ought to be able to debate, cuss and discuss all factors of traditional archery, never argue.  No one ever wins an argument except in their own mind but I won nothing in my mind, perhaps only lost some friends and compadres.

I have too many years of shooting, mostly longbows, building everything we use in our pursuit of traditions, too much to share and also to learn (my bow building experience, well there’s this funny feel, little crack..nuff said on that). Too many years hunting, good things happen, bad things happen, but all happened and I learned from all.

I need not alienate anyone. I don’t want to.

I also have too much orneriness to share. . Perhaps a picture or two now and then.

I’m sorry if I caused any trouble or stepped on any toes..

Ralph.

That said, dry around here??????????

Nuff of this……………..

I guess if folks want to look at one side of a story, not care to hear another side there’s better places for me to be.

Would be only right to have a “It’s seems unnecessary to be FOC and single bevel minded when tried and true methods have worked for eons” forum. Especially when I put a piece of heavy metal on one end and a little piece of plastic on the other I have FOC.  But hat ain’t gonna happen….

I never had any ill will towards a turnip but that don’t mean I have to like it.

I can be friendly to what I don’t like.  If’n you wanna be friends with a turnip, be a friend by all means.
