Ya don't think they will use up all the fun Pat. ;) Bob you heard from Ryan, he said he may make his way back this year  ??  :-\ Worked on the tips of my trade bow yesterday and shot it a little more then decided to take a short break from it for a little while, my snakes weren't thawed enough to skin so   started another blow horn, I will have to get Bob to show me how to properly blow it when he gets there.  ;) :) I think this one will be an end blow, it's not solid to far up like some are so I should be able to get the hole drilled OK on this one. :-\ Eddie be sure and send me pictures if you and Kevin kills a big Turk, I know he is probably walking [even you] your legs off. ;) :) That boy will hunt. :)

They rolled through here last night pappy. Lots of thunder and lighting. We never got a warning  but they were night storms. If they hit you in the day time watch out,  the thunderheads were huge at sunset last night.

Trade bow. The boys splitting some wood, can't start them to young with good hard work. ;) Some points a guy gifted me last week he brought back from Africa, very cool. :) I plan on mounting them in a display. :)

The points mounted in River Cain. Bill with a Flag one of our Blackhawk pilots gave me to display at the club. Like I have said many times, we love our Soldiers and when they Honor us with stuff like this it means a lot.  :) :) I made a hemp lanyard for my blow horn and it all finished up except the sealer. :)

Looks like another awesome weekend pappy! The bow looks great to!
You can tell it's spring time at Twin Oaks,  the weedeater must have gotten away from you there pappy. Dot worry,  the whiskers will grow back soon.

Ya done a little Spring Cleaning. ;) :) Got the first coat of Tru Oil on the skins yesterday, it really brought out the color, hope to get the writing on it today and start sealing it all up. Just want to be sure that the person it is going to name is spelled right, that would be bad to spell his name wrong. ;) :)
