What Did You Do Today?

Nice bow Pat. I shot trad at last weekends 3D shoot. Felt kinda guilty, but shot good and had fun. My Damon/Howit recurve is smoother and easier on my shoulder this early in the year.  dp

Got my new band saw today     I have it assembled and cleaned off.  I'm hoping to get it all set up and running tomorrow.

After 45 weeks of (mostly) patiently waiting, the ATF sent me my tax stamp so I could finally bring home my suppressor.

I hit a deer in the wife's car tonight.  We were on our way to pick the kids up from a school dance and a deer ran right out in front of us.  I hit the brakes and slowed down quite a bit before impact.  We weren't hurt but the deer and the car were.  The deer flopped around for a minute before hobbling off on 3 legs.  The car doesn't look to bad but I'm sure its going to be an expensive fix.  The drivers side door won't open, the radiator and battery are ruptured, the hood, grill, headlight, and fender are toast, and who knows what else is messed up inside the engine compartment.  We were able to limp home so that was good.  We just picked this car up from the mechanics today after getting the front axle and boot replaced    This makes the 8th deer I have hit in a vehicle.  I guess that's one of the downfalls of living in a good hunting area

Maybe the body shop will take the new Grizzly in exchange, Clint?

Not funny at the moment JW.

Who needs a vehicle that's not big enough to haul anything if you've already got a Grizzly.

Was hoping to cheer ya up.  I nailed 6 deer in 5 years just after I moved to South Dakota.  I claimed I got into deer hunting to get revenge.  I even thought about putting a big welded rack on the Ford Escort since it seemed to draw deer to it.

Good to know everyone was safe.  That is what really counts tonite.

Went back to the river yesterday evening and cut some more osage , the pile on the floor is what I cut last night , three logs resulting in ten staves that will need to be worked down more .
My goal is to try and keep one hundred plus staves on hand all year and replace any I sell or use , I will add other woods also .
Stave count should be around eighty plus for the last two weekends , just need to get them worked up .

I spent most of the day sharpening steel for Spring and straightened a few garden stakes for arrows for a friends 5 yr old grand daughter. Had time for a little leather preforming to make sheaths  for my  draw knives. Going to start on the bow sometime this week. Was told I had to use a variety of colors that had to include pink.
