Thanks! I’ll do that. We get some cool pictures here. My wife was out in the driveway the other day photographing the Bald Eagles in the river canyon.

Very cool. Looking forward to some day seeing the staves that come from those plantings.

Yeah bud. I think bow building might be a retirement hobby for me. But I might as well plant the trees now…

One was sold as the Hoyt Huntmaster in the early 80’s and the other I recently procured to see how nice this latest version is and I like it. I now have more than one set of limbs and can convert from 40# to 55# on either riser. Versatile and inexpensive and shoots as good as a custom bow IMHO.

I’m quite pleased with it as well. I’m not a bow expert, but I’ve shot some good ones and I’ve shot some bad ones. I was willing to spend more money than I did on the Sage, but I don’t feel like I gave anything up. It doesn’t seem cheap or chintzy at all. I like the fact that I can change my draw weight, as you’ve done, or if I twist or break a limb they are replaceable.

I very much enjoyed Craig Childs “The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild.”

He’s got a bunch of other books I’ll have to add to my reading list. Books get added to that list faster than they get taken off. I need to hurry up and retire.

A recently released book that I’m quite excited about, but haven’t read yet, is “Distant Neighbors: The Selected Letters of Wendell Berry and Gary Snyder.” If it wasn’t for those two guys, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Well, I have to blame Marty Stouffer a little too.
