The hide was one I was fixing to put in the brain tan. I gave the bow me and Greg made for Art at the meeting ,I think the smile says it all.There was even a few tears,it was great and he is shooting it good to boot. :)

Then more wood cutting,I found 3 small IW that were in the way so of course I saved them.They should make some nice Limb style bows. I think we have enough wood for the Classic now,and
of course my little girl friend was there for support,she love the club and is there anytime her Dad
is. :)

Hunter Collingsworth. He is a killing machine.I think he has 5 or 6 this year along with a couple of nice bucks.If we can just get him one with his bow he will be cooking,he hunted with it a lot this year but no luck. :)

Good looking pictures Pappy!!!! Might better cut another cord of wood for the Classic, Kiva gets mighty cold ya know!!!!! :D The deer down was great for Hunter!!!! Looks like you and Jesse got the hang of that scrapping tool pretty well, those hides look really good stretched out like that, sorta mountain manlike!!!!  ;D I never did kill anything in GA yet, but once turkey season starts maybe I can!!! I've been talking the Classic up alot down here and have several of them GA boys planning on coming up so!!!!! want you to meet someone that is important to me. Can't wait to see ya'll and hug Jonie!!!!  ::)
I went down to Albany, Ga for the Cheehaw Indian Festival Rondyvous 8/9/10th. I dressed out in leather indian dress I made, got to shoot in the archery competition, I got 1st place shooting against 6 fellas. 3 of which were darn good!!! tickled me!!! I shot the red snake bow that Colene Simmons gave me 3 yrs ago at the Classic. Jjust bragging rights really, but you know I can do that!!! I also made the large turtle shell possibles bag from one I found hunting Rum creek in GA.
I still have that stave to finish of Allen's, gotta get up there one of these days to learn it from you, Greg or Anthony!!!

Well, dont think I can make the Classic this year but I am going to get Gayle to come with me next year. Her dad just went through triple bypass surgery today. So I think she will be close to home for a while. I will be heading down there to see them on Feb 9th for a week.  Be meeting her parents for the first time. Her dad has already threatend to kill me if I treat his little girl badly! Hmmm! Believe it or not I think I like him already!  ;D

Thanks Pappy! I think I have a good one too. Glad to hear Jesse has a great gal too! Cant wait to mee her too. Miss sitting arround the fire pit and making bows with you all. Next year!
