          Congrats on your first harvest. It is a grounding experience that goes to the core of who we are as human beings. Most of man’s time on earth we hunted for our food instead of hunting for a grocery store. 8)

              Got one of those survivor whistles/compass/thermometer/magnifying glass on a lanyard around my neck. It is funny now that I am in my sixties my sense of direction is not what it used to be. I get turned around easier. I like the idea of the pin on compass on my arm. Thanks.

                  I believe are ancesters 😉 spent a lot of time in the trees and we gradually evolved from eating leaves and fruit to becoming hunters. So I feel I would be regressing back in evolution if I started climbing trees…..OK I really mean I am afraid of heights.:oops:

                        I think that among people who hunt in a primitive culture they assume everyone in their group are excellent shots but also excellent trackers. We modern men are primitive when it comes to tracking compared to those experts. I wonder that when hunting as a group they continue to shoot multiple arrows from different members to continue to wound the animal until a kill shot happens or they bleed from multiple wounds. A group hunt of a primitive culture is a completely different ball game. Everyone would share in the meat. Their ability to track a wounded animal was probably very great and they would hunt a large animal for days if necessary to finally bring it down. At least that is my understanding. Please feel free to correct me about these impressions.

                        I feel we are bound to only shoot within are abilities to get in the kill zone so we can bring it down quickly. We also need patience and judgement and wisdom to not shoot unless we feel very confident. The reason I hunt is to connect with nature. If I do not get an animal that is ok. If some people give in to the need to get an animal they may not use good judgement when taking a shot. We all need to emphasize this to others. Hunting should not be about competition but about experience. IMHO

                                  I found it helpful no matter what adhesive is to make sure use sqeeze the tube or bottle until the glue is up to the top and then put the cap on. that way there is no air that can dry out the adhesive.
