Heck Doc, the wind’s blowing about 45 mph gusts. Thought you might enjoy sharing some down time with me.

I was out practicing holding in the wind. Hold here, hold there, no, over there, hell, let go!! Makes for good habits. Kinda different when the targetee (R2 Texan word :wink } is moving and the target is still.

And I’m gettin old, just not famous:lol:

When I look at the title of this thread I think “Gonna be something here to put in my pocket to help me out in a jam”.

It sure is a long ways from that thinking now.

I do like some slimy (slippery) foods. Escargot, oysters, fried clams, smoked squid etc..

None of them collectible with a bow but perhaps maybe so when out stumping or something. 😀

Our little plum tree blossomed out, little purple flowers, then…..You’d think that tree after 25 years would learn that it’s always gonna hard freeze again. 🙁

Did hear and see Sandhill Cranes flying north this morning and even if I live one block from no town, ice cream truck, agh!!!

There oughta be a spring season. 😀

Maybe I ate too fast?

But………………:D

Letigo, just keep on shooting those heavier shafts and your hand, eye, brain threesome will get used to them then it’ll all become automatic.

Like it’s said, “Up and down is instinct, left and right is form”.

I shoot 46#-47# bows and my hunting arrows weigh in the 500gr.-520grs. They work fine but I haven’t shot a pig.

I do believe though that if I’m gonna be pig hunting I will be using my carbon shafts that have 225 gr or 245 gr up front rather than the woodies with 125 gr up front. I have no prob with the latter on deer though.

I don’t hunt elk anymore cause they ain’t no good to eat. 🙄 :D:D I don’t have a big spoon either.:wink:

Bruce, you drill a hole in the handle lengthwise and you can have a spoon/peace pipe combo there. That and some other stuff might come in handy at peace negotiations ya spose? :D:D

Good work!!:D

“Could also use a building a looooong way away from the house.” Audrey

Is that looooong way far away building gonna come with a tunnel so you can find it and get to it in the winter?

Just wonderin too, glue on too many feathers you might not find your way back. Bet it sucks to walk with snowshoes if you got a buzz going. 😀

Here’s a couple of back quivers I made, my old side quiver and couple smaller goody bags.

The little bag has aspirin and Benedryl in a contact lens case.

I never have a hangover but I know some that do. 😀 Benedryl comes in handy for insect sting relief. Also if given in addition to aspirin to those hungover it make’em sleepy and they quit, I’m gonna say, complaining. 😀 You know what I’m thinkin without me sayin. 😉

Snows starting to melt some in MA I see. Fire weather warnings out for here.

Lots of beauty in spring but floods and fires not so pretty.
