Pay dirt

(1/6) > >>

iowabow:
Well after paying the dirt god tribute by drilling 6 arrows into the dirt i finally did it! This doe came into 8 yards and I missed but the second shot did the trick. The shot was a 3/4 away that entered behind the first rib and broke a rib going out the other side. The second shot was from 18 yards. I went to house and waited 2 hours. I took Isaac out to track the deer after 40 yards trailing blood Issac found the arrowhead under some leaves. Now there is a dispute about who gets to keep it. Isaac thinks that he should keep it because dad would not have seen it or may have stepped on it. He also thinks that because this is the 2nd deer i have taken primitive it does not hold as much value. He told me I could keep the shaft. We would like your opion on this issue. After tracking the deer 265 yards we found this doe.

Stringmans flint knife was used to field dress and it worked real good.

Bay-bay, you gotcher mojo baaaaaack!  Groovy!

Having spoke to Isaac on the phone this morning on this very same subject, I shall weigh in.  There are two conflicting and quite appropriate schools of thought.  1) Finders Keepers.  Probably primitive man's earliest law.  2) It was your workmanship that made the stone head, the shaft, the fletching, and it was you that took this doe.

Since it is not your first primitive deer, I am afraid I will side with the young and the handsome rather than the old and greedy/grasping!

And finally, in the spirit of giving thanks for things received, a word for Isaac:  I think you should make something for your father to show your appreciation for keeping the arrowhead...if, indeed, it does become your property. 

Woohoo, attaboy John, glad to see you connected up!
